Will the car still move when the clutch is fully depressed?

The car will not be driven by the engine's power output when the clutch is fully depressed. However, if the vehicle is on a slope or in motion, it may continue to move due to inertia or gravitational force. Below are the main functions of the clutch: 1. Gradual engagement between the engine and transmission: This ensures smooth starting of the car; when shifting gears or changing gears, pressing the clutch pedal temporarily cuts off the connection between the engine and the transmission, reducing the impact during upshifting or downshifting. 2. When the vehicle needs to perform emergency braking: Without the clutch system as a buffer, the engine would rapidly decrease speed due to the rigid connection with the drivetrain. All moving parts in the drivetrain would generate significant inertial forces, imposing loads beyond their capacity and potentially causing damage. The clutch system helps mitigate this situation.
