What are the steps for starting a car in Subject 2?
2 Answers
Subject 2 car starting steps are as follows: 1. After entering the driver's seat, first adjust the seat and rearview mirror position, and fasten the seat belt. You can adjust the seat height, backrest angle, rearview mirror tilt, etc., according to your actual situation. 2. For manual transmission models, when starting, shift into first gear, press the clutch pedal all the way down, place your right foot on the accelerator pedal, and gently release the clutch. 3. Slowly lift the clutch until it is about halfway, and when you feel the vehicle shaking, release the handbrake. At this point, you can slowly press the accelerator pedal to get the vehicle moving. 4. Gradually release the brake, then lightly press the accelerator to complete the vehicle's start. As long as the clutch is lifted to the correct position, you can prevent the vehicle from rolling backward.
When I was taking the driving test for Subject Two, the ignition procedure had to be done carefully, otherwise the examiner would deduct points directly. The first step was to sit in the car, adjust the seat height and backrest, and set the rearview mirrors for a clear view. The second step was to press the clutch pedal all the way down—no half-measures, or the car would jerk and stall when starting. The third step was to insert the key, gently turn it to the ignition position, and wait for the engine to sound before releasing it. After starting, don’t rush to move; check the dashboard for any warning lights. During the test, it’s also important to check if the handbrake is fully engaged—developing this habit during practice is crucial. The first time, I didn’t press the clutch firmly enough when starting, and the car made a clunking sound before stalling, earning me a scolding from the instructor. Since then, I’ve remembered to take a deep breath and steady my nerves before starting. The whole process should be smooth and not sluggish, which helps avoid unexpected point deductions during the test.
