The correct way to depress the clutch when driving is: 1. Adopt the proper posture - place the ball of your foot on the clutch pedal with your heel touching the ground, keeping your knee slightly bent when fully depressing the clutch; 2. Avoid using only your toes or lifting your heel off the ground to prevent insufficient force or slipping; 3. Always depress the clutch fully and avoid prolonged partial engagement to ensure complete separation and prevent wear. The functions of the clutch are: 1. Gradually increase driving force for smooth vehicle starting; 2. Temporarily disconnect the engine from the transmission for gear shifting; 3. Protect the transmission system from overload; 4. Reduce torsional vibration impacts from the engine and extend transmission gear lifespan.
