Should You Shift Gear or Release the Handbrake First When Getting in the Car?

Shift into gear first and then release the handbrake when getting in the car. Here are the specific details: Reasons for shifting into gear before releasing the handbrake: The primary reason for shifting into gear first and then releasing the handbrake is safety. Once the gear is engaged, the power transmission path in the transmission is connected. When you first shift into gear, the transmission is in first gear, which provides the highest torque. If the brake is not properly applied, the car may suddenly lurch forward. Precautions after getting in the car: After getting in the car, fasten your seatbelt and adjust the seat. Quickly press the clutch pedal to the floor and shift into gear. Turn on the left turn signal, check the surroundings (both side mirrors), and then release the handbrake. Quickly lift the clutch to the semi-engagement point, pause slightly, then slowly release the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator to ensure a smooth start.
