How to Avoid Stalling on a Hill Start?

[LaneAnn]

There are two methods to avoid stalling on a hill start: 1. Before starting, ensure the clutch and brake are fully depressed. Then, slowly release the clutch until the car body begins to shake noticeably. At this point, keep the left foot steady on the clutch pedal and gradually release the brake with the right foot. Once the car starts moving, completely release the brake. 2. Use the handbrake. When parking on a slope, engage the handbrake. To start, release the handbrake with the right hand, gently lift the clutch with the left foot, and slightly press the accelerator with the right foot. Then, gently lift the clutch again to reach the half-clutch position, keep the clutch steady, slightly press the accelerator again, and immediately release the handbrake. The driver should remain calm and avoid panic.
