What is the sequence of clutch, brake, and acceleration?
1 Answers
In a manual transmission car, the sequence of clutch, brake, and acceleration is as follows: the rightmost pedal is the accelerator for speeding up, the middle one is the brake for stopping, and the leftmost one is the clutch, which disengages the power from the engine to the gearbox. Below are some relevant details about the clutch: 1. For emergency braking, you should press the brake first and then the clutch once the speed has decreased. This prevents stalling and avoids damage to the car. 2. When going downhill, never press the clutch, as doing so is equivalent to coasting in neutral, which is extremely dangerous. If the speed is too high when descending, you can lightly tap the brake, but never press the clutch. 3. When decelerating at high speeds, always press the brake before the clutch, then shift gears. When braking, it's important to tap the brake lightly for better braking effect, a smoother ride, and protection for the car itself.
