Should You Press the Brake When Depressing the Clutch?
1 Answers
Whether to press the brake when depressing the clutch depends on different situations: 1. Press both when the vehicle speed decreases or for short-distance braking; 2. Do not press when braking at higher speeds or for long distances. The functions of the clutch include: 1. Gradually increasing the driving force of the car for a smooth start; 2. Temporarily separating the engine and transmission for gear shifting; 3. Preventing overload of the transmission system; 4. Reducing torsional vibration impact from the engine to prolong the life of transmission gears. The brake serves to reduce vehicle speed, and its usage precautions include: 1. Apply the brake gently when following another vehicle; 2. Use emergency braking cautiously in rainy conditions; 3. Avoid emergency braking on slopes and curves.
