How to Properly Start a Car?
1 Answers
Start the engine and check if all the instrument indicators are functioning normally. Depress the clutch pedal and shift the gear lever into low gear. Turn on the left turn signal, honk the horn, and simultaneously observe the front, sides, above, and rearview mirrors of the vehicle to check for any obstacles that may hinder the car from starting. Safety must be prioritized during the starting process. Release the parking brake control handle. Hold the steering wheel, and with your left foot, gently release the clutch pedal while slowly pressing the accelerator pedal to ensure a smooth start. Once the car has entered the normal driving lane after starting, you can turn off the left turn signal. When starting the car, lifting the clutch pedal should follow the "fast, pause, slow" sequence and coordinate with the accelerator pedal. Quickly release the clutch pedal initially, but when you feel the engine power decrease slightly and the vehicle begins to shake, pause the clutch pedal at this position before slowly lifting it further. Simultaneously, gradually press the accelerator pedal to ensure a smooth start. If you sense the engine power is insufficient and it's about to stall, immediately depress the clutch pedal again and press the accelerator pedal appropriately to restart. The coordination between the clutch and accelerator pedals can be summarized as: lift the left foot quickly while listening for changes in engine sound, pause when the car shakes, press the right foot steadily to add throttle, and slowly lift the left foot to move the car forward. Depress the brake pedal, shift the gear lever into the D position, and verify that the D position indicator on the dashboard is correctly displayed. Turn on the left turn signal, honk the horn, and observe the front, sides, above, and rearview mirrors of the vehicle. If there are no obstacles, release the parking brake control handle. Lift the brake pedal and slowly and steadily press the accelerator pedal to ensure a smooth start.
