[Evelyn]

Before driving, the following checks should be performed: 1. Inspect the surrounding environment before entering the cockpit to check for obstacles or hazardous factors, ensure tire pressure is normal, check for external damage, and look for any liquid leaks on the ground; 2. After entering the cockpit, close the door securely, adjust the seat position and the angles of the interior and exterior rearview mirrors, and fasten the seat belt; 3. Check if the handbrake is engaged, shift the gear into neutral, turn on the ignition switch, verify that the dashboard warning lights illuminate, and then start the engine; 4. Lightly press the brake pedal a few times to check if the braking system is functioning properly.
