Should You Press the Brake When Starting?
1 Answers
For manual transmission starts, you don't need to press the brake if on flat ground. However, when starting on a slope, it's best to press the brake to prevent rolling back. Below are some related additional details: 1. Manual Transmission: A gear-shifting device used to alter the engine's speed and torque transmitted to the drive wheels. It enables the vehicle to achieve different traction and speed under various conditions such as starting from a standstill, climbing hills, turning, and accelerating, while also allowing the engine to operate within a more favorable range. During gear shifting, the transmission must ensure that the circumferential speeds of the selected gear pair are equal to allow smooth engagement and gear shifting. 2. Synchronizer: To ensure smooth gear shifting, the driver must perform relatively complex operations quickly and accurately within a short period. Even for highly skilled drivers, this can easily lead to fatigue. Therefore, structural measures are required in the transmission to ensure smooth gear engagement, simplify operations, and reduce driver fatigue. Synchronizers are designed specifically to meet these requirements.
