After starting the car, press the clutch pedal completely with your left foot to prepare for the semi-clutch state. Push the gear lever into first gear with the palm of your right hand as the starting gear. Gently press the turn signal control lever downward with your left hand to activate the left turn signal and alert vehicles in front and behind.

Should You Press the Accelerator When Shifting Gears?

You should not press the accelerator when shifting gears. Gear shifting precautions: 1. Avoid skipping gears when upshifting: Upshifting should be done step by step; skipping gears can cause discontinuous power delivery, leading to a 'stalling' phenomenon. Downshifting, however, can be done by skipping gears, and driving techniques often require skipping gears when downshifting. 2. Avoid looking down at the gear lever when shifting: Especially when driving on city streets or at high speeds, looking down while shifting can cause the vehicle to veer off course and lead to accidents. 3. Avoid not fully depressing the clutch when shifting: If the clutch is not fully depressed, the engine and the first shaft of the transmission cannot completely disengage, causing intermittent power transmission, resulting in noise during shifting and potential gear damage.
