How to Push-Start a Manual Transmission Car?

[AuroraAnn]

Below are the steps for push-starting a manual transmission car: 1. Before pushing, turn the key to the ON position to power up the vehicle without manually cranking the ignition. 2. Then depress the clutch pedal and shift into second or third gear. 3. When the pushing speed reaches about 10km/h, release the clutch while gently applying throttle. 4. Once the engine shows signs of starting with operational sounds, quickly depress the clutch, shift to neutral, and control the throttle properly to complete the startup. Precautions for push-starting a manual transmission car: 1. This method is typically used when the battery has insufficient charge due to circuit shorts during driving or damaged wiring, making it unable to restart after stopping. Push-starting is the simplest and most convenient solution but requires certain conditions; use this method if circumstances permit. 2. Pushers must ensure safety—the vehicle should be on flat ground with adequate speed distance, and the pushed vehicle must have functional brakes. 3. Applicable scenarios: When the vehicle lacks power or has insufficient power.
