Should I engage first gear or release the handbrake first in Subject 2?

[DiArcher]

First engage the first gear, and then release the handbrake. When engaging first gear, you need to press the clutch and the brake pedal to effectively prevent the vehicle from rolling back, as in the third item of the Subject 2 test—the slope fixed-point parking and starting—rolling back will result in point deductions. Here are some additional details: Subject 2 Test Items: Subject 2 consists of five test items. The first test item is parallel parking, the second is reversing into a parking space. The third test item is slope fixed-point parking and starting, the fourth is turning at a right angle, and the fifth is driving on a curve. Passing all these completes the Subject 2 test. Notes for the Subject 2 Test: Before the test, you should take a mock test once to familiarize yourself with the vehicle and the test site. After entering the vehicle, first fasten your seatbelt and adjust the seat angle and rearview mirror angle. If you fail the first test, you must immediately exit the vehicle and wait for the staff to drive the vehicle back to the starting position for another attempt.
