Release the Clutch or Brake First When Starting?
1 Answers
When starting, partially release the clutch before releasing the brake. The steps for starting a car are: 1. Adjust the seat properly to ensure your feet can firmly and comfortably operate the clutch, brake, and accelerator; 2. Engage first gear, fully depress the clutch, and place your right foot on the accelerator ready to go; 3. Lift the clutch with your left foot to about halfway, and release the handbrake promptly when the vehicle starts to vibrate; 4. Tap the accelerator, and as the car begins to move forward, slowly release the clutch, then apply more throttle. Notes for starting: 1. Ensure a smooth and safe start with the correct driving posture, avoiding looking down at mechanical parts, keeping eyes on the road ahead and both sides, and preventing jerking, stalling, or intermittent vibration; 2. Use the clutch pedal, accelerator pedal, and brake pedal appropriately; 3. Select the appropriate gear based on the car's condition, road situation, and gradient.
