[Leila]

The steps to start a manual transmission car are: 1. Fully depress the clutch; 2. Shift into first gear; 3. Turn on the left turn signal; 4. Honk the horn as a reminder; 5. Release the handbrake; 6. Gently lift the clutch with your left foot; 7. The vehicle begins to move, keep the clutch steady with your left foot, avoiding any pressing or lifting to prevent stalling; 8. After holding steady for 3 seconds, slowly release the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator with the ball of your right foot, then slowly release the accelerator, fully depress the clutch to shift into second gear, and repeat this process to shift into third gear, completing a smooth start. Working principle of manual transmission: By using the shift fork to change the gear ratio of the meshing gears, the driving torque is altered to suit different operating conditions.
