What are the precautions for starting on a slope in Subject 2?

There are several precautions for starting on a slope in Subject 2: 1. The initial state should be in neutral with the brake pedal pressed; 2. Pull up the handbrake as tightly as possible; 3. Slowly release the brake pedal, ensuring the vehicle does not roll backward when the brake is fully released. If necessary, tighten the handbrake again; 4. Press the clutch and shift into first gear; 5. Gently press the accelerator to maintain the engine speed between 1500 and 2000 RPM; 6. Release the clutch gradually, first to the half-clutch position, then continue to release it slowly while maintaining the throttle to ensure engine speed. The key to successful slope starting lies in accurately identifying the clutch's half-engagement point. There are five methods to determine the clutch's half-engagement point: 1. Listen for changes in the engine sound. 2. Feel the engine vibration. 3. Rely on foot sensation. 4. Observe the tachometer reading. 5. Sense the vehicle's momentum.
The hill start is a crucial part of the driving test in Subject 2. From my teaching experience, here are a few key points to note: First, before starting, you must control the brake position properly to ensure the vehicle doesn't roll backward, especially when stopping on the slope—press the brake firmly. Second, coordinating the clutch and throttle is essential. Gradually release the clutch while lightly pressing the throttle, and start moving when the car body slightly vibrates to avoid stalling. Third, manage your vision—look ahead instead of at your feet, and use the rearview mirror to confirm the vehicle aligns with the designated position to prevent deviation. Fourth, psychological adjustment is also important. Many people panic when nervous, so it's advisable to practice more simulations before the test and repeat the operation several times in a safe area to build confidence. Remember, small mistakes often lead to failure, but with patient practice, you can master it.
