5. Expert advice and netizen experience
A big V in the automotive field @老Driver's Diary mentioned in a recent live broadcast: "A smooth start is more important than speed. It is recommended that novices use the 3-second rule: after releasing the brakes, count silently for 3 seconds before refueling."
Zhihu Gaozan replied: "When starting on a hill with manual transmission, you can use the four-step method of 'footbrake-handbrake-clutch-throttle' to replace the traditional semi-linkage."
Under the topic #starting teaching on Douyin, the video of "No-feeling starting teaching" by coach @wheel brother received 920,000 likes. The core point is: "Use your ankle to control the accelerator instead of the whole leg."
6. Comparison of starting characteristics of different models
| Vehicle type | Starting characteristics | Things to note |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional fuel vehicle | Need to wait for the speed to stabilize | Cold car speed is too high |
| hybrid | The motor intervenes first | Sensitive initial acceleration |
| pure electric vehicle | Instantaneous maximum torque | Prevent the "head-up" phenomenon |
| turbocharging | Insufficient low speed torque | Avoid low speed and high throttle |
Mastering the correct starting method can not only improve driving safety, but also extend the service life of the vehicle. It is recommended that drivers review starting essentials regularly, and especially pay attention to the differences in characteristics when driving different models. Recently, popular instructional videos on various platforms have emphasized that "developing muscle memory is more important than rote memorization of steps." The best solution is to develop instinctive reactions through repeated practice.
