1 Answers
The correct method for starting a manual transmission car is: 1. Insert the key, turn on the ignition switch, and start the engine; 2. Press down the clutch pedal and shift the gear lever into first gear; 3. Observe the surroundings of the vehicle to ensure safety, then release the parking brake lever; 4. Lift the clutch pedal quickly until the engine sound becomes lower, wait for the vehicle body to slightly vibrate, pause the clutch pedal momentarily, while gently applying some throttle, then slowly lift the clutch pedal further, followed by gradually increasing the throttle. The steps for starting on an uphill slope are: 1. Press the clutch pedal fully with the left foot, lightly press the throttle with the right foot, shift into first gear and lift the clutch; 2. Release the handbrake with the right hand; 3. Apply throttle to start, noting that more throttle is needed when starting on an uphill slope. For starting on a downhill slope, the method is the same as starting on level ground, just pay attention to maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle in front.
