What are the methods for push starting a car?

Here are the methods for push starting a car: 1. Before pushing the car, turn the key to the ON position to power up the vehicle without manually turning the key to ignite. 2. Then, press the clutch and shift into second or third gear. 3. When the pushing speed reaches about 10km/h, release the clutch while gently applying some throttle. 4. When the engine shows signs of starting along with operational sounds, it generally means the start is successful. At this point, quickly press the clutch, shift to neutral, and control the throttle properly to complete the start. Here are some precautions for push starting: 1. It's best to find a downhill slope or flat road for push starting. Uphill slopes require more effort and may even lead to the car rolling backward halfway. 2. Note that the push starting method is only applicable to manual transmission vehicles.
