When parking, should you press the clutch or the brake first?

When parking, the basic braking method is to press the brake first, then the clutch. There are three other braking methods: 1. When parking on a slope, press the brake first, then the clutch; 2. For emergency stops or deceleration at high speeds, press the brake first, then the clutch; 3. When stopping at a red light, press the clutch first, then the brake. During driving, use the service brake (foot brake) to slow down or stop while moving forward. If the service brake fails, use the parking brake (handbrake) only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop to prevent the vehicle from rolling forward or backward. In addition to using the parking brake, when going uphill, shift to a lower gear, and when going downhill, shift to first or second gear without pressing the accelerator, relying solely on gear braking to control downhill speed.
