What is the starting sequence?

The starting sequence is to first release the clutch and then slowly release it. Here is a partial introduction to the starting sequence: 1. Clutch: The most common starting method can be used for both flat road starts and slope starts. The key is to master the semi-engagement position of the clutch. Finding the semi-engagement position makes starting very easy. With current vehicle models, as long as you slightly lift the clutch to the semi-engagement position, the car can start even on a flat road without giving any throttle. Use this method to practice more on flat roads to find the engagement point. 2. Throttle: This starting method is similar. First, lightly press the throttle to maintain the engine speed at around 800 to 1000 RPM, then slowly release the clutch to start. This method can effectively prevent stalling due to insufficient starting power. However, if the throttle is not well controlled, the car may jerk forward and then stall.
Every time I get in the car, the first thing I do is lock the doors, then carefully adjust the seat and rearview mirrors to ensure I can see all blind spots—this step is crucial because unexpected reversing accidents often occur here. I always fasten my seatbelt tightly—safety is the bottom line, never underestimate its protective role. Then I insert the key or press the start button to ignite the engine, letting it warm up for about 10 seconds until the oil temperature stabilizes and the dashboard shows normal readings before moving. Finally, I slowly release the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator to start. I've developed this smooth routine over ten years, not only avoiding the embarrassment of stalling but also reducing engine wear. I remind everyone not to rush—safe travel starts with the details, especially on rainy days when extra checks for slippery roads are essential.
