Can You Start the Car in Reverse Gear?
1 Answers
You cannot start the car in reverse gear. The correct method for starting in reverse with a manual transmission: Press the vehicle's clutch pedal, shift into reverse gear, check the vehicle's rearview camera and mirrors to ensure safety, then partially release the clutch while pressing the brake pedal to begin reversing. Important notes: Do not reverse too quickly, always carefully monitor the surroundings during reversing, ensure all vehicle equipment is functioning properly before starting, and momentarily hold the clutch pedal while releasing the handbrake lever while applying slightly more throttle to prevent vehicle shudder.
