After getting into the car, first close the door securely and check if the door light is off. Press the clutch pedal all the way down with your left foot, hold the steering wheel with your right hand, adjust the seat with your left hand, and lock the seat. Adjust the left side mirror so that the horizon is in the middle, and adjust the right side mirror so that the horizon is at the 2/3 position. After fastening the seat belt, press the brake and accelerator with your right foot, ensuring they are not too close to your foot. Release the handbrake → press the clutch → shift into gear → slowly release the clutch → lightly press the accelerator.
I just passed Subject 2 recently, and I remember the 10 steps of pre-driving preparation very clearly: First, walk around the vehicle to check and ensure there are no obstacles underneath. Second, after getting in the car, don't rush to start; first adjust the seat so your knees can bend naturally. Third, the rearview mirrors must be properly adjusted—you should be able to see the rear wheel positions to pass. Fourth, fasten the seatbelt and listen for the click. Fifth, confirm the gear lever is in neutral. Sixth, press the clutch all the way down to test the pedal feel—exam cars feel very different from practice cars. Seventh, start the engine and just watch for the tachometer to jump. Eighth, check the dashboard warning lights; if any red light is on, restart the car. Ninth, test the brake pedal to feel its firmness. Finally, turn on the left turn signal to prepare for moving off. Getting these details right ensures stability during reversing and hill starts later.
