Should You Depress the Clutch When Turning Off the Car?
1 Answers
When turning off the car, you should depress the clutch. When parking, first apply the brake appropriately. As the speed slows down, press the clutch pedal to bring the car to a smooth stop before turning off the engine. The key to smooth parking is to correctly apply the brake according to the speed. If the parking distance is short and the speed is relatively high, the brake pedal should be pressed harder to quickly reduce the speed. When the car is about to stop, slightly release the brake pedal and then apply a bit more pressure to increase the braking force for a smooth stop. Functions of the car clutch: Gradually increase the driving force of the car for a smooth start, temporarily separate the engine and transmission for gear shifting, prevent overload of the transmission system, reduce torsional vibration impact from the engine, and prolong the life of transmission gears. Effects of severe clutch wear: Car slipping, insufficient power, inability to start the car, difficulty in ignition, poor climbing performance, and increased fuel consumption. Working principle of the car clutch: When the inner race is fixed and the outer race rotates clockwise, the wedge block does not lock, allowing the outer race to rotate freely. When the outer race rotates counterclockwise, the wedge block locks, preventing the outer race from rotating.
