Will the car stall if the brake is pressed all the way down?
1 Answers
Manual transmission vehicles will not stall when braking. Below are specific explanations about stalling during braking: 1. Stalling scenario: The vehicle will only stall when the brake is pressed hard and held down, because at this time, as the car decelerates, the clutch remains engaged, causing the engine speed to drop sharply below idle speed, resulting in stalling. 2. Precautions: On highways where speed is high, you can press the brake directly until the speed drops to 45km/h before depressing the clutch. This allows full utilization of engine braking. However, if you only press the brake without depressing the clutch, it may cause the vehicle to stall in mild cases, or severely damage the transmission and engine. If you're not coming to a complete stop, such as slowing down from 100 to 60 to follow the car ahead closely, there's absolutely no need to depress the clutch.
