Preparation Steps for Getting into the Car in Subject 2 C2 Test
2 Answers
Open the car door, enter the driver's cabin, sit in the driver's seat, then close the door and adjust the seat to a comfortable position. Operate the rearview mirror adjustment button on the lower left side of the steering wheel to adjust the driver's side and passenger side rearview mirrors. Check the light lever behind the steering wheel to ensure it is in the OFF state. After confirming, fasten the seat belt. Step on the brake with your right foot, insert the key into the keyhole, turn it all the way and hold for a few seconds. Release after the car starts, then shift gears to begin driving.
I just passed the C2 Subject 2 driving test last month. The pre-driving preparation steps are quite important. I remember adjusting the seat position immediately after getting in the car—both forward/backward and up/down to a comfortable position, ensuring my feet could freely operate the brake and accelerator without leg numbness or tension. Then I quickly adjusted the rearview mirrors: the left mirror should show a corner of the left rear wheel, and similarly for the right side to reference points during reversing. Buckling the seatbelt is crucial—pull it tight until you hear the click to confirm it's secured. Check the dashboard with a quick scan for any fuel or engine warning lights. Start the engine and listen for normal sounds, then shift to D gear and wait for the examiner's instructions. Stay calm throughout the process and take deep breaths—nervousness can slow your hands and cause forgetfulness. Repeating these steps multiple times during practice makes the pre-driving routine feel natural and increases exam success rates.
