What details should be paid attention to when starting a vehicle?

Details to pay attention to when starting a vehicle are as follows: 1. Observe the surrounding situation when starting the car. 2. Start the engine, press the clutch pedal, shift the gear lever into first gear, turn on the turn signal, observe the rear position of the car through the rearview mirror, and confirm safety before starting. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Vehicle starting refers to the process of the car moving from a stationary state to motion, generally divided into flat ground starting and slope starting. Flat ground starting means the car starts on relatively flat ground, while slope starting means the car starts on a slope with a certain angle. 2. Shift the car's gear to first gear, then slowly lift the clutch pedal to the semi-engaged position, gradually release the brake lever, and press the accelerator pedal to add fuel.
When I first learned to drive, I was so nervous about starting the car. Later, I realized there are so many details to pay attention to. The most important thing is to check the surroundings, especially blind spots, to see if there are any pedestrians or vehicles nearby to avoid accidents. Sitting in the driver's seat, first adjust the rearview mirrors to ensure a clear view. Then, press the brake firmly and shift gears smoothly. If it's a manual transmission car, coordinate the clutch and throttle properly—don't stomp on them suddenly, or the car might jerk and scare you. After releasing the handbrake, gently press the accelerator and watch the tachometer to avoid revving too high; around 1500 RPM is usually ideal. Last time, when I started in the neighborhood, I wasn't paying attention and almost hit an elderly man walking his dog. Since then, I've made it a habit to glance at all the mirrors before moving to confirm safety. Also, remember the interior environment: fasten your seatbelt and avoid loud music that might distract you, as the brief moment of starting is when accidents are most likely to happen. In bad weather like rain or snow, operate even more gently to prevent tire slippage and loss of control—these details can be a matter of life and death.
