When parking without turning off the engine, should you release the clutch or the foot brake first?

You can release either one first, but it is generally recommended to release the clutch first. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Operate slowly: When braking, pressing the clutch and brake slowly will prevent the engine from stalling. Additionally, during the vehicle's forward movement, the speed must also be slow to ensure that you have time to think about any operation if you are not yet proficient. 2. Only release the clutch and brake pedals after shifting to neutral: If the vehicle is still in 1st gear, even if the car has come to a stop, releasing the clutch and brake too quickly can still cause the engine to stall due to the clutch being released too fast.
