The start of the manual transmission car is a problem for many novice drivers, especially in front of the traffic light, how to do it quickly and without turning off the engine, and not affecting the driving of the rear car? In fact, as long as you master some basic skills and methods, you can easily solve this problem. Below, we will introduce the precautions and steps for manual transmission cars to start in front of traffic lights.
Observe the traffic lights in advance. When approaching an intersection at a traffic light, observe the changes in traffic lights and the traffic in front of you, and be prepared to slow down or stop. If it is a countdown signal, pay attention to the countdown time so that you can react in time.
Maintain a proper distance between vehicles. When parking and waiting for a red light, it is necessary to maintain a suitable distance between vehicles, generally with the rear wheels of the car in front of you. This avoids collisions with the car in front and gives you plenty of room to start.
Hang neutral and pull the handbrake. When parking and waiting for a red light, hang neutral in time, pull the handbrake, release the clutch and brake, and keep the vehicle at a standstill. This avoids long clutch and brake stresses, which causes wear and tear on the engine and braking system, and also reduces driver fatigue.
Pay attention to your starting timing. When the red light turns green, pay attention to the timing of the start, not too early or too late. Starting too early may cause a collision with the vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle, and starting too late may affect the driving of the vehicle behind or even cause traffic jams or accidents. Generally speaking, when the red light turns yellow, you can start preparing for the start, and when the green light comes on, you can get off to a fast start.
Steps. Step on the clutch and hang in first gear. When the red light turns yellow, quickly press the clutch and engage the first gear while releasing the handbrake and gently pressing the brake with your right foot to keep the vehicle near the stop line.
Give oil, loosen the clutch. When the green light is on, immediately release the brake, and at the same time give the throttle to let the engine speed reach about 1500-2000 rpm, and then slowly release the clutch, find the semi-linkage position, and let the vehicle start to move forward.
Get off to a smooth start. When the vehicle starts to move forward, continue to give the throttle to keep the engine speed at about 2000-2500 rpm, and at the same time quickly release the clutch to let the vehicle start smoothly and avoid stuttering or stalling.
Shifting, accelerating. When the vehicle starts, according to the speed and road conditions, it is necessary to shift gears in time, accelerate, keep pace with the surrounding vehicles, pay attention to the situation in front and rear, and be ready to change lanes or turn.
The above are the precautions and steps for manual transmission cars to start before the traffic light, I hope it will help you. If you have any other questions about cars, please feel free to continue to communicate with me.
