What are the key points for starting a manual transmission car?

[LaValerie]

Proficient use of the clutch in a manual transmission car is essential, especially ensuring it is fully depressed when operating. Below are the key points for starting a manual transmission car: 1. Insert the key, turn on the ignition switch, and start the engine. Normally, we should observe the indicators on the dashboard. If any warning light stays on for an extended period, it indicates an abnormality in the corresponding component. Immediately turn off the engine, inspect the vehicle, resolve the issue, and restart the engine. 2. Depress the clutch pedal, shift the gear lever into first gear, and check the surroundings to ensure safety. Then, release the parking brake lever (handbrake). Lift the clutch pedal quickly until the engine sound lowers, then slow down the lifting speed. When the car body slightly vibrates, pause the clutch pedal momentarily, add a little throttle, and then slowly lift the clutch pedal further while gradually increasing the throttle to achieve a smooth start.
