1 Answers
When starting a manual transmission car, you should partially release the clutch before releasing the brake. The method for starting a manual transmission car is as follows: Adjust the seat: Before starting the car, adjust the seat to ensure your feet can firmly and comfortably press the clutch, brake, and accelerator. Engage first gear when starting: Press the clutch all the way down and place your right foot on the accelerator, ready to go. Begin starting: Slowly lift the clutch with your left foot to about halfway, and release the handbrake when you feel the car vibrate. Gently press the accelerator: When the car starts to move forward, slowly release the clutch and then lightly press the accelerator to successfully start.
