1 Answers
Manual transmission vehicle starting sequence: 1. Depress the brake pedal; 2. Press the engine start button; 3. Instrument panel illuminates, engine starts; 4. Shift the gear selector to M position (manual mode); 5. Push the gear lever forward once to upshift; 6. Pull the gear lever backward once to downshift; 7. Gently press the accelerator pedal to move the vehicle. Manual transmission (MT) requires manual gear shifting by operating the gear lever to change gear engagement in the transmission, thereby altering the gear ratio for speed variation.
