What is Rollback?
1 Answers
Rollback refers to coasting in neutral or with the clutch disengaged. It also describes the phenomenon where a vehicle moves backward when starting on a slope due to improper coordination between the throttle and clutch, which is also called rollback. Coasting in neutral reduces the vehicle's braking force, increasing the risk of rear-end collisions. Related extended information is as follows: Causes of rollback: It occurs when the clutch engagement point is not sufficiently released (the clutch is released too low) or when the throttle is not applied (the engine idle speed is too low to propel the vehicle) while releasing the handbrake. There are two causes of stalling: First, it happens when braking abruptly or releasing the clutch too quickly after rollback occurs. Second, it occurs when the clutch is released beyond the engagement point while the handbrake is still engaged during startup.
