Should the clutch be fully released when starting on a slope?

When starting on a slope, the clutch should not be fully released. Here are some precautions for starting on a slope: 1. Driving posture: Maintain the correct driving posture, pay attention to various traffic conditions on the road ahead, and do not look down. 2. Clutch pedal: Do not release the clutch pedal immediately; instead, apply the throttle before releasing the clutch. This is because the resistance of the car is greater when going uphill, requiring more power to start. 3. Braking timing: The key point is to master the timing of releasing the handbrake. Releasing it too early will cause the vehicle to roll backward, while releasing it too late will cause the engine to stall. The best time is when the clutch pedal is raised to the semi-engaged position and the engine sound changes, then release it immediately.
