Should You Release the Handbrake Before or After Engaging the Gear?
1 Answers
When driving a car, you should engage the gear first and then release the handbrake. Here are the specific techniques for driving a manual transmission car: 1. Starting the vehicle: Let the car idle for about half a minute, then press the clutch, engage first gear, simultaneously press the foot brake with your right foot, release the handbrake with your right hand, and slowly lift the clutch. 2. While driving: When the speed reaches 15 to 20 km/h, shift into second gear. When the speed reaches 25 to 30 km/h, shift into third gear. 3. Decelerating and stopping: As long as the brake can reduce the vehicle speed to a safe level, you can press the clutch and shift into neutral.
