Should You Depress the Clutch When Descending in Subject Two?

[LeElisa]

Brake and depress the clutch. 1. Brake and depress the clutch: To reduce the risk of stalling the car during descent, it is best to use the brake in conjunction with depressing the clutch when going downhill. When the speed is slow and the slope is short, the speed can be reduced by braking alone, which makes many students wonder whether they should depress the clutch when descending in Subject Two. 2. Reason: The slopes in Subject Two are generally quite short. If the speed is slow at this time, braking without depressing the clutch can easily cause the engine to stall, and once the engine stalls, points will generally be deducted in the test. Note: Try not to fully depress the clutch when descending. Depressing the clutch when going downhill can better help students control the speed, and using it in conjunction with the brake makes it less likely to cause stalling. However, if the clutch is fully depressed, it will cut off the power connection between the car, effectively putting it in neutral. At this point, the car will lose engine braking, making it harder to control the speed.
