What are the steps to start a car in Subject 2?
2 Answers
Subject 2 vehicle starting steps are as follows: 1. Walk around the car and observe the surroundings. 2. Open the door, get in, and fasten the seat belt. 3. Sound the horn, depress the clutch, and engage the gear. 4. Slowly release the clutch while simultaneously releasing the parking brake with your right hand. 5. The car begins to move, shift gears, and press the accelerator. Additional information: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test. The test items for cars C1 and C2 include five mandatory tests: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (commonly known as S-turns). Specific explanations are as follows: 1. Reversing into a garage: Correctly judge the vehicle's reversing trajectory and control the vehicle to complete reversing into the garage. 2. Parallel parking: While moving, maneuver the vehicle to correctly park in a roadside parking space (garage) on the right side of the road. 3. Stopping and starting on a slope: Accurately judge the stopping position; coordinate the use of the accelerator pedal, parking brake, and clutch for a smooth start. 4. Driving through curves: While moving, operate the steering device to control the vehicle through curves. 5. Turning at a right angle: While moving, correctly operate the steering device and accurately judge the difference between the inner and outer wheels.
I remember the process of starting the car during the Subject 2 driving test very clearly. First, after getting in the car, adjust the seat so your feet can comfortably reach the clutch and brake pedals—not too close or too far, as it could affect your operation. Adjust both side mirrors to ensure you can see the position of the rear wheels, which is crucial for parallel parking. Next, fasten your seatbelt—this step must not be forgotten, or you'll lose points immediately. For a manual transmission car, press the clutch pedal all the way down with your left foot, lightly place your right foot on the brake, turn the key to start the engine, and then shift into first gear. After confirming it's safe around you, release the handbrake—this is critical, as forgetting it will prevent the car from moving and may cause it to stall. When starting, slowly release the clutch; once the car vibrates slightly, gently press the accelerator to move smoothly. Stay focused during the test and avoid nervous mistakes. I found that practicing the starting procedure repeatedly during training can reduce errors, especially on slopes to prevent rolling back—just use the half-clutch technique to control it well. Developing these habits during practice will make the test much easier. Remembering these small details can help you pass Subject 2 effortlessly.
