What are the key points to observe inside the car during a hill start?
1 Answers
When performing a hill start inside the car, align the center of the steering wheel with the position of the second dashed line, maintaining a distance of approximately 20 to 30 centimeters from the edge, with the margin not exceeding 50 centimeters. Hill starts require a slow initiation: During a hill start, gradually release the clutch pedal with your left foot until the vehicle begins to vibrate. Hold this position slightly to confirm whether the vehicle has the tendency and power to move forward. Avoid lifting the clutch pedal further to prevent stalling. Hill starts require gradual acceleration: Once the vehicle starts moving forward, completely release the handbrake with your right hand and gradually apply the accelerator. When starting on a slope, failing to apply the accelerator may result in stalling due to insufficient idle speed, which cannot propel the vehicle uphill.
