Here are the steps to start the car in Subject 3 driving test: 1. When you hear the voice prompt 'Please start', press the clutch. 2. Shift the gear into first gear. 3. Turn on the left turn signal. 4. At the same time, observe the left rearview mirror, confirm safety, and honk the horn. 5. Release the parking brake, start smoothly, and turn off the turn signal. Here are the precautions for Subject 3 driving test: 1. Adjust the seat before fastening the seat belt, and put the gear in neutral. 2. Simulate the lights, listen to the voice prompt before operating, and do not answer in advance. 3. Do not look down at the gear when shifting, and ensure the clutch is fully pressed. 4. There is no voice prompt when passing through crosswalks, school zones, bus stops, etc., so you need to observe by yourself. 5. The gear and speed should match, and do not drive at low gear and low speed for a long time. 6. Prepare well before the test, relax, and drive smoothly.

I've taught many people how to drive, and the starting procedure in Subject 3 test is a critical point where examinees often make mistakes. The first thing after getting in the car is to adjust the seat and mirrors to ensure a comfortable posture with clear visibility, fasten the seatbelt before starting the engine. Then observe the left side and rearview mirror to confirm there are no vehicles or pedestrians, and keep the left turn signal on for at least 3 seconds before starting. When operating, slowly release the clutch pedal, find the semi-engagement point when the car slightly vibrates, then gently press the accelerator to provide some power, maintaining stability to avoid stalling. Common point deductions during the test include forgetting to signal, stalling, or starting too abruptly, so I recommend practicing clutch control more, such as repeatedly simulating starts in an open area to maintain stable speed. After starting, remember to check the rearview mirror to maintain a safe distance. Test anxiety is normal, just take deep breaths to adjust, don't let small mistakes affect your overall performance. With such solid practice, you'll easily master the Subject 3 starting procedure.
