What is engine braking? In simple terms, the car engine braking system is the process of using the frictional resistance of the car engine to slow down the car. An engine braking condition is entered when the vehicle is traveling at a specific rate that exceeds the rate at which it should be traveling in that gear and the accelerator pedal.
Car braking system mode: Predictive braking is for the situation that has been discovered or the complicated situation that is likely to occur, there is a plan in advance at the situation point, there is an end point to release the pressure of the accelerator pedal, and the natural friction resistance when driving is used. speed and, depending on the situation, tap the brake pedal intermittently and lightly to further reduce the speed or stop. This is also one of the most frequently used braking systems for better safety driving.
Emergency stop is when the driver quickly releases the accelerator pedal when encountering a sudden risk situation, immediately depresses the brake pedal hard, and at the same time tightens the handbrake lever to stop the car immediately. This is also an emergency braking countermeasure to prevent the occurrence of road traffic accidents. This type of braking system damages the parts relatively much, and the car is prone to uncontrollable occurrence. It should only be used in a last resort situation.
Engine braking is to use the traction effect of the car engine to slow down the speed. The lower the gear, the more significant the traction and the stronger the braking system. When driving on a down steep slope, shifting into a low gear and using the traction function of the car engine can reduce the economic burden of the braking system and reduce the frequency of the braking system, and avoid the heat loss of the driving force caused by the overheating of the braking system; in wind, snow and mud Unbearable ground driving, the use of car engine traction braking system can avoid detection.
