When slowing down while driving, should you press the clutch or the brake?

When you want to slow down while driving, you should first gently press the brake to reduce speed, and then press the clutch. Here is a partial introduction to slowing down in a manual transmission car: 1. For gradual deceleration, first release the accelerator pedal and avoid continuing to press it, which will stop the car from receiving power. 2. If the speed is already slow when decelerating, you may not need to press the brake, as the speed will naturally decrease gradually. 3. If the speed is relatively fast, you can press the brake to help the car slow down. 4. When the speed drops to around 25 km/h, press the clutch to allow the speed to continue decreasing until the vehicle comes to a stop. Additional information: 1. When decelerating, always press the brake first and then the clutch. Otherwise, in certain special terrains, pressing the clutch directly may cause the vehicle to accelerate, creating a safety hazard. 2. When decelerating, avoid shifting directly into neutral to slow down. Although this can achieve deceleration, it poses safety risks.
