Lifting the clutch: When lifting the clutch, observe the RPM or engine sound. When the RPM is appropriate or the engine emits a low sound, slow down the speed of lifting the clutch and then gently press the accelerator. 2. Preventing rollback: Before releasing the handbrake, it's best to observe the road conditions ahead. If it's an uphill or downhill slope, it's advisable to press the brake with your right foot, slowly release the clutch, and when the car body starts to shake significantly, stabilize the clutch pedal with your left foot without moving, then slowly release the brake with your right foot. When the car starts moving, fully release the brake.
