How to Start the Car in Subject 2?

[MacCalvin]

Subject 2 vehicle starting steps are as follows: 1. After entering the driver's seat, adjust the seat height (if necessary, you can use a seat cushion), backrest angle, mirror tilt, etc., according to your actual situation, and fasten the seat belt. 2. For manual transmission models, when starting, shift into first gear, press the clutch pedal all the way down, place your right foot on the accelerator pedal, and gently release the clutch to allow the car to start smoothly. 3. Slowly lift the clutch to about halfway. When you feel the vehicle start to vibrate, release the handbrake promptly. At this point, you can gradually press the accelerator to get the vehicle moving. 4. For automatic transmission models, the clutch and brake share the same pedal. Before starting, you need to press the brake pedal and shift into the D (Drive) position. 5. Slowly release the brake. When the vehicle starts to vibrate, quickly release the handbrake, then lightly press the accelerator to complete the vehicle's start. As long as the clutch is lifted to the correct position, you can prevent the car from rolling back.

As a novice who just passed the Subject 2 test, I remember the steps to start the car are crucial. The first step is to open the door, sit inside, and adjust the seat to a comfortable position with slightly bent knees, ensuring your feet can easily reach the pedals. Then, adjust the side mirrors and rearview mirror for clear visibility while driving, and fasten the seatbelt for safety. Next, check the gear: for manual transmission, confirm it's in neutral, and for automatic, ensure it's in P (Park). Manual transmission requires pressing the clutch pedal, while automatic requires pressing the brake pedal. Once everything is set, start the engine using the key or button, listen for a few seconds to ensure the engine runs smoothly, and check the dashboard for any warning lights like the battery or oil light. If all is clear, you're ready to move. During the Subject 2 test, immediately shift to first gear or D (Drive) after starting, slowly release the clutch or brake to allow the car to move smoothly, and begin practicing reversing or parallel parking. The entire process should be slow and steady—coaches emphasize not rushing and taking deep breaths to avoid nervous mistakes. Regular practice helps build familiarity. Though these details are basic, mastering them ensures a smooth, penalty-free test experience.

From an experienced perspective, starting the car for the Subject 2 driving test should not be taken lightly. After getting in the car, first adjust the seat height and backrest angle to ensure your arms can naturally extend to hold the steering wheel. Also, adjust the rearview mirrors to clearly see around the vehicle. The seatbelt must be securely fastened—this is a fundamental rule of driving. For manual transmission vehicles, confirm the gear is in neutral, while for automatic transmission, ensure it's in P (Park). Firmly press the clutch or brake pedal. When igniting the engine, do so gently without forcefully twisting the key. After starting, pay attention to the dashboard indicators such as RPM and warning lights. Wait a few seconds for stabilization, and if there are no unusual noises, you can release the key. During the test, after starting, prepare to shift into gear and begin moving. However, since the Subject 2 test area is small, start slowly and maintain a steady speed—being too abrupt can lead to loss of control and point deductions. It's advisable to familiarize yourself with the test environment beforehand and simulate the operations a few times to reduce nervousness. Staying calm is key to smoothly passing the test.

Starting the car for Subject 2, as an older student, I prioritize safety first. Adjust the seat and mirrors upon entering the car, and fasten the seatbelt securely. Ensure the gear is in neutral or P position, then press the clutch or brake pedal to start the ignition. After starting, check if the dashboard indicators are normal, and make sure everything is stable before beginning to move. During the test, perform the actions slowly and don’t rush to avoid mistakes.
