Do You Need to Press the Clutch When Starting the Car?

[SophiaRose]

Starting the car requires pressing the clutch. The reasons are as follows: 1. Pressing the clutch reduces the engine load, thereby prolonging the engine's lifespan; 2. If the clutch is not pressed during ignition for a long time, the engine's ignition performance will gradually deteriorate; 3. Starting the car without pressing the clutch, although possible, increases the starter's load and causes the battery to output a higher current, negatively affecting the engine's ignition performance. Over time, this can cause certain damage to the car; 4. Pressing the clutch when starting also helps prevent potential hazards.
