Should You Lightly or Heavily Press the Brake When Shifting Gears?

[Jade]

If it is an automatic transmission car, you only need to release the accelerator when shifting gears, and manual shifting is not required. If shifting from P gear to D gear, you need to gently press the brake. When encountering road conditions, you should first press the brake and then downshift. Introduction to Brakes: The braking system of a car generates friction between the brake pads and the wheel hub or chassis. During the friction process, the kinetic energy of the car's movement is converted into heat energy and consumed, reducing the car's speed until it stops. Principle of Brakes: When the piston in the cylinder is acted upon by the push rod of the brake pedal, the brake oil in the cylinder is transmitted to the sub-cylinders of each tire, which is achieved through the brake pump.
