What Are the Steps for Manual Transmission Driving Techniques Tutorial?
1 Answers
Manual transmission driving techniques tutorial is as follows: 1. Unlike automatic transmission cars, when starting a manual transmission car, press the clutch with your left foot, shift into first gear, hover your right foot over the accelerator, release the handbrake while gently pressing the accelerator, then slowly and completely lift the left foot off the clutch as you press the accelerator to ensure a smooth start. When starting on a steep slope, lift the clutch to the right point where the car is in a "half-clutch" state—even if you release the handbrake, the car won't roll back. Follow by pressing the accelerator, slowly lifting the clutch, and releasing the handbrake to start the car. 2. After starting, when shifting to second gear, press the clutch quickly and lift it slowly to avoid jerky or unstable movement. The same applies when shifting to third gear, but it becomes less critical when shifting to fourth gear and beyond. 3. When approaching a traffic light, judge in advance. If you're 200-300 meters away and the light turns yellow, shift to neutral and coast to the intersection, waiting for the red light. 4. When descending a long, steep slope, never coast in neutral. Without engine braking, it's difficult to slow down quickly in an emergency, and the brakes may even fail. 5. Drive with extra caution in rain or snow—reduce speed and anticipate conditions, especially at intersections where you must slow down early to avoid skidding. Remember to use "pulse braking" (light, repeated taps on the brake) to prevent skidding. 6. When driving through deep water, avoid it if the depth is unknown. If you must proceed, keep the car in a low gear, maintain steady throttle, and avoid shifting gears to prevent water from entering the exhaust pipe, which can cause serious issues.
