Why does the engine speed increase when braking downhill in a Corolla?
1 Answers
When encountering a downhill slope, the Corolla's speed increases due to inertia. However, the engine's logic is designed not to upshift or allow the car to go faster downhill, maintaining the current gear. To ensure the speed and gear remain unchanged, the engine speed increases. This is a normal phenomenon. Structure of the car brake pedal: The car brake pedal is located below the steering wheel. Pressing the brake pedal causes the brake lever to be pressurized and transmitted to the brake pads on the brake drum, which then clamp the brake disc. Function of the car brake pedal: To slow down or stop the car. The manual brake in a car is located next to the gear shift and is connected to the brake lever. Common examples also include bicycle brakes, which rely on rod-shaped brakes fixed to the frame or disc caliper brakes to slow down.
