You can step on the accelerator before fully releasing the clutch in first gear, but avoid pressing it abruptly. During normal driving after starting, coordination between the accelerator and clutch is required. This means slowly lifting the clutch pedal with your left foot while gradually pressing the accelerator pedal with your right foot to get the car moving. Below are the methods for coordinating the clutch and accelerator during gear shifting: First, shift the gear to the neutral position. After starting the car, fully depress the clutch, shift into first gear, and then slowly release the clutch. As you feel the car slightly vibrate and begin to move forward, gently apply the accelerator while continuing to release the clutch until it is fully released, ensuring a smooth start. When shifting to a higher gear, you need to match the speed for the target gear. First, slightly press the accelerator to reach the target speed. Once the speed is achieved, depress the clutch, shift into the desired gear, and release the clutch while simultaneously pressing the accelerator to maintain a steady speed range. When downshifting, first reduce the speed by gently applying the brakes. Lightly tap the accelerator with your right foot, quickly depress the clutch pedal, shift the gear lever to the appropriate gear, and release the clutch pedal while gradually pressing the accelerator with your right foot.
