Should I press the clutch at the same time when braking?

It's better not to, it's not wise to do it to be on the safe side.

If it is a fast car, it is recommended not to step on the set, you can use the engine brake first.

I'm stepping on it at the same time! I didn't have the consequences of stepping on it at the same time....Let the repair shop tow me and the car back for a formal belt!

If it's just to slow down, then you don't need to press the clutch. If you want to stop the car, you need to press the clutch, and if you don't step on the car, it will stall.

Point kill, slow down slightly, no, heavy kill definitely needs.

The engine itself also has a traction force, and the purpose of not stepping on the clutch is to make the braking force and the traction of the engine work together, which can effectively shorten the braking distance. If you step on the clutch, the vehicle is equivalent to the neutral coasting state, and the traction of the engine itself cannot play the role of auxiliary braking, so that only by braking system braking, the braking effect is definitely not good. ‍‍

In the past, I used to step on the brakes at the same time as the white clutch, and the coach's words have always been in my heart, but it was an exam, the distance was short, and the long-distance braking must have hurt the clutch greatly, and it is also possible that I didn't listen to the coach's words at all: the coach must have understood! Until I drove past a bus, in front of the red light, to see that the driver stepped on the brakes first, and when it was about to stop, he changed the neutral gear, and got inspired, and also combined with his long-distance clutch brake, the braking distance was too far, only to find that the braking distance of not stepping on the clutch is shorter than stepping on the clutch.

Don't step on the clutch, don't step on the accelerator, just step on the brakes until the speed of the car decreases, and before you feel the engine is about to shake off and turn off, then step on the clutch and brake.

In the case of emergency braking, high-speed braking, short braking distance, etc., first step on the brake and then step on the clutch, using the dual braking effect of engine braking + brake pads, you can quickly and effectively reduce the speed and reduce the braking distance. At this point, the clutch pedal has not been pressed, and the engine, gearbox, drive shaft, and wheels are still a connected whole. Lift the accelerator pedal, step on the brake first, because the engine does not have enough fuel supply, the engine speed decreases, the speed of the reverse drag gearbox decreases, coupled with the braking effect of the brake pads, the deceleration effect is obvious.

The general short-distance braking refers to a distance of about ten meters, like this case, stepping on the clutch in advance has little effect on the brakes, and this is also a must do, otherwise the car will be easy to stall, then you can step on the clutch in advance. But if you brake for long distances, you can't press the clutch in advance.

If you don't stop and don't change gears, you don't need to step on the clutch. If the speed is not high, be sure to press the clutch first, then the brakes, and then shift gears appropriately according to the speed. Because if the speed is low, pressing the brake first may cause the speed to be lower than the engine speed, which will cause the engine to stall, and the other is that if you do not step on the clutch, it will cause the crankshaft, connecting rod, and piston to knock on each other and damage the gearbox.

Except, of course, at low speeds if you encounter emergency braking.

We need to have the concept that all functional parts of the car are for the driver, controlled by the driver, and we can operate any part at will to serve the driver under reasonable circumstances. Take the clutch, for example, in some cases you need to press the clutch when braking, and in some cases you don't.

It's a matter of flexible control, and there are no strict operating procedures. Whether or not to apply the clutch depends on the current engine speed. For example, if you encounter a traffic jam in the urban area and move forward at idle, at this time stepping on the brakes will quickly reduce the speed of the car, if you do not step on the clutch, the speed reduction will inevitably pull the engine speed down, and the vehicle will be sensational and trembling when it is lower than idling, until the engine is turned off.

So at this time, when you apply the brakes, you should press the clutch. For example, if we are driving in 5th gear on the expressway, the engine speed is at 3000 rpm, and there is a vehicle in front of us that needs to slow down, and we don't have to step on the clutch when we step on the brakes, because although the speed will be pulled down after stepping on the brakes, it will not be as low as idle in an instant. It is very likely that we braked and lowered the revs to 2000 rpm and then stepped on the accelerator again.

In downhill conditions, you can't press the clutch first and then apply the brakes, you need to coast in gear, for a similar reason as above, and it is also for the rational use of engine braking. If the clutch is depressed and the transmission is put in neutral working condition, the engine and the drive wheels will lose power and pinning contact, and the car will slide forward by its own inertia. At this time, if there is an emergency and braking is required, all the braking energy will only be provided by the wheel brake, and the brake is required to provide a large effective braking force in a short time, but the braking force provided by the braking system is sometimes limited. ‍‍

Whether to step on the clutch or two together depends on the situation. When driving at high speed and driving normally, there is no need to step on the clutch just to slow down and control the speed. Before entering a corner, apply the brakes to slow down, and after entering the corner, if there is no obscurity, do not apply the brakes or clutch.

When going down a long slope or a steep slope, step on the brake in advance to downshift and decelerate, and use the engine to brake without stepping on the clutch. When you need to stop for normal driving, apply the brakes first, and then press the clutch after the speed is reduced. When driving at low speeds, press the brakes and clutch to avoid the engine stalling.

In general, the speed is reduced without stepping on the clutch. In case of emergency, the clutch brake should be applied at the same time.

1. Ramp parking - brake first and then clutch.

Apply the brakes first, then the clutch. When the clutch is stepped on, the car is equivalent to being in neutral mode, and without the containment of the engine, the car will slip downhill;

2. Deceleration and gear reduction - brake first and then clutch.

After driving in fourth gear, you need to slow down to third gear; Before turning, making a U-turn, or stopping, slow down from third gear to second gear; At this time, you should first press the brakes to slow down, wait for the speed to drop to the appropriate range, and then press the clutch to change gears.

3. High-speed emergency stop or deceleration - brake first and then clutch.

Apply the brakes first, then the clutch. Because the higher the speed of the car, the greater the inertia of the car, if you step on the clutch first, the inertia of the car will be greater, so you must apply the brakes first;

4. Site deceleration - light braking does not clutch.

After passing through some places such as bus stops, school areas, etc., which require deceleration, and the speed is below 30 per hour, you can tap the brake at this time, and you do not need to step on the clutch.

5. Deceleration and parking - clutch first and then brake.

When you encounter a red light at an intersection, you need to stop, or pull over at the end, first press the clutch, then apply the brake. Because the lower the speed of the car, the greater the frictional resistance between the tires and the ground, and the engine is easy to stall if you press the brakes first.

6. Emergency situation - clutch brake at the same time.

In case of an emergency, when emergency braking is required, the clutch brake should be pressed to the end at the same time so that the ignition will not be turned off.

Before talking about this topic, think about how the coach teaches you, when you learn to drive in a driving school, the coach will ask you to step on the clutch when braking, whether you change gears or not, you must step on the clutch before braking, but is this the case?

There is also a certain reason why the coach teaches you this, because the speed of the novice driving is relatively slow, and the soles of the feet are not counted, and if you don't step on the clutch, it will definitely turn off, if the engine is turned off, then you will not pass the exam, but the exam does not seem to be the level of the coach?

In fact, when we usually drive, there is no need to step on it together, stepping on the clutch is equivalent to neutral gear, stepping on the brakes with gear, and the engine will also provide a certain amount of braking. When we drive daily, we can step on the brakes first, and when we feel that the engine is being dragged down, we should step on the clutch to downshift.

If your current speed is 100 kilometers, then you can first step on the brakes at this time, when you descend to about 40 kilometers, you will feel that the engine is dragged, at this time you can step on the clutch to shift gears, there is no need to step on the clutch as the coach said, as long as you step on the brakes, you must step on the clutch. Especially at high speeds, adjust the speed and just apply the brakes.

But there are exceptions, you must step on the clutch when braking suddenly, if you don't press it, it may affect the work of ABS. According to the test: there is no difference in braking distance between stepping on the clutch brake and not stepping on the clutch brake, but the brake with gear is safer, especially when going downhill.
