Which gear should be used for push-starting a car?

[OJoel]

Push-starting a car should be done in 2nd gear. Dead battery: A dead car battery is a common occurrence. Push-starting works on the premise that the battery still retains some residual voltage, insufficient to crank the engine but enough to power the fuel injection system. Generally, it's recommended to use jumper cables with another car's battery to start the engine. Specific method: 1. Driver takes position; 2. Put the car in neutral and push it to a sloped road for starting; 3. Insert the key and turn to ACC (accessory position); 4. Shift the transmission into 2nd gear and engage the handbrake; 5. Gather 2-3 people to push the car downhill; 6. Release the handbrake, depress the clutch, and move forward; 7. When speed reaches 10-15 km/h, release the clutch and gently press the accelerator; 8. Once the engine starts, shift to neutral, park and engage the handbrake, then idle for at least 1 minute before normal operation.
