What happens if you press the clutch and accelerator simultaneously in a car?
1 Answers
If you press the clutch without releasing the accelerator, the engine continues to work, which may potentially damage it. You should never press the clutch and accelerator simultaneously; always release the accelerator before pressing the clutch. When shifting gears, first apply the brake to reduce speed, then press the clutch to shift. For stopping, you can directly press both the clutch and brake. Additional precautions for gear shifting are as follows: 1. When shifting gears, always release the accelerator before pressing the clutch. The clutch in a car serves to engage and disengage the engine from the wheel transmission. 2. Do not press the clutch and accelerator at the same time. Pressing the clutch cuts off the engine's power transmission, putting the engine in a no-load state. Accelerating in this condition will cause a sudden increase in engine RPM, and you may even hear the engine revving sound.
