When parking, should you press the clutch or brake first?
1 Answers
First press the clutch, then the brake. There are two situations when parking, as detailed below: 1. Pulling over to park: When pulling over to park, the speed is generally slow. Turn on the turn signal, observe the traffic on both sides through the turn signal, and drive to the side when safety is ensured. Once the distance between the vehicle and the curb is adjusted, press the clutch, then the brake. Following these steps ensures a smooth stop. 2. Stopping at a traffic light intersection: When approaching a traffic light intersection, decide whether to press the brake or clutch based on the distance to the intersection. If the distance is not too far, you can release the accelerator and use the transmission to slow down. If the speed is relatively fast, press the brake to decelerate. Upon reaching the intersection, first press the clutch, then the brake. After the vehicle comes to a complete stop, shift to neutral, engage the handbrake, and release the clutch and brake.
