What are the requirements for hill start?

[ElijahFitz]

The requirements for hill start are as follows: Maintain the correct driving posture: Pay attention to various traffic conditions ahead on the road and avoid looking down. The operating sequence is to press the clutch pedal with the left foot, gradually press the accelerator pedal with the right foot to engage the low gear, and then slowly release the handbrake when the engine sound changes or the vehicle body slightly vibrates. Then, slightly press the accelerator pedal again and slowly lift the clutch pedal. Precautions: Do not release the clutch pedal immediately; instead, first apply the throttle before releasing the clutch. This is because the vehicle faces greater resistance on a slope, requiring more power to start. The key point is to master the timing of releasing the handbrake. Releasing it too early may cause the vehicle to roll backward, while releasing it too late may result in stalling. The optimal timing is when the clutch pedal is lifted to the semi-engaged position and the engine sound changes, release it immediately.
