Below are the correct operating methods for starting the car, as well as the methods for releasing the handbrake and shifting gears: Correct operating method for starting the car: First, press the clutch and the brake, shift into first gear, and then release the handbrake. Slowly lift the clutch with your left foot until the car body starts to shake (semi-clutch state), then hold your left foot steady. Slowly release the brake with your right foot, gently press the accelerator, and when the car moves forward, you can completely release the clutch. Methods for releasing the handbrake and shifting gears: When releasing the handbrake, gently lift the handbrake upward, press the release button, and then fully release it.
