1 Answers
The correct steps for starting a manual transmission car are as follows: 1. Before starting, ensure the gear is in neutral and the handbrake is engaged; 2. Depress both the brake and clutch pedals; 3. Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it clockwise through two positions - the first position is the ON position, which powers the car's electrical systems but does not start the engine, and the second is the START position. Hold the key in the START position for two seconds until the engine starts; 4. To prevent rolling, keep both feet on the clutch and brake pedals after starting. In the semi-engaged clutch state, monitor the engine speed. When the tachometer shows the speed is around 1000 RPM, you can release the brake with your right foot, gently press the accelerator to increase speed, and gradually release the clutch completely during acceleration.
