The function of the clutch switch in the new Santana is as follows: Working principle of the clutch: The clutch is installed between the engine and the transmission, serving as the assembly component in the automotive drivetrain that directly connects to the engine. Typically, the clutch is mounted together with the engine crankshaft's flywheel assembly, acting as the component that disengages and transmits power between the engine and the vehicle's drivetrain. Throughout the process from starting the car to normal driving, the driver can operate the clutch as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and the drivetrain, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power output from the engine to the drivetrain. Functional principle of the clutch switch: It enables gradual engagement between the engine and the transmission, ensuring smooth vehicle starts; it temporarily disconnects the link between the engine and the transmission to facilitate gear shifting and reduce impact during shifts; during emergency braking, it can act to disengage, preventing overload in the transmission and other drivetrain components, thereby providing a certain protective effect.
