What is the correct procedure for starting a car?
1 Answers
Turn the key to "START" to ignite the vehicle. The dashboard indicator lights will briefly illuminate and then turn off as the car's computer enters a self-check state (approximately 6 seconds). Shift into 1st gear, activate the left turn signal, and simultaneously observe both side mirrors and the front view to confirm safety before preparing to move. When you feel slight vibration in the car body, noticeable RPM drop, and forward movement of the front end, this indicates the semi-clutch engagement point is reached - you can now hold the clutch steady. Gradually release the brake, and the vehicle will move forward smoothly. If the speed feels too slow, you can continue releasing the clutch or gently press the accelerator.
