Hold the brake pedal down with your right foot and the clutch with your left. Use both of your feet to press the clutch and the brake pedal down.
Keep them both held down all the way. The brake is in the middle and the accelerator is on the right. The clutch is the pedal that transfers power from your engine to the wheels. Holding it down keeps your wheels from spinning while your engine is on.
Releasing it completely transfers all of the power from the engine to the wheels. Turn your car on and shift the gear into 1st. Turn your car on by turning the key in the ignition. Shift the car from neutral into 1st gear.
Raise the clutch slowly while shifting your foot to the accelerator. Quickly shift your right foot from the brake to the accelerator. Start again. This can take some practice to get used to! Releasing the clutch too quickly will cause the car to stall. Press the accelerator down and fully release the clutch. As you press the accelerator down, release the clutch completely to get up to speed.
As you rev the engine up, the clutch is trying to mitigate the speed of the wheels, causing some friction in the pedal. Method 2. Pull the handbrake up while pressing the clutch down. Press the clutch down with your left foot. Press the button on the top of the handbrake to release it and pull the handbrake all the way up to its vertical position. Keep the clutch held down all the way while doing this. Turn the car on and shift into 1st gear. Turn the key in the ignition to start the car.
Do not shift your feet or move the handbrake while doing this. Shift into 1st gear. Apply gas with your right foot while releasing the clutch. Slowly apply pressure to the accelerator while releasing the clutch. When you feel the clutch biting, or kicking back, you will know that your vehicle is trying to move forward. Release the handbrake at the same time as the clutch. Once the clutch is biting, press the button on the handbrake down. Method 3. Hold the brake and clutch down with both feet.
Keep the clutch and brake held all the way down. First of all, you have to know, at least theoretically, what is or what involves a hill start. As the title suggests, is the process of moving or starting your car when you are on a hill or an inclined road.
Because of the gravity, moving the car on a hill requires a little bit more attention, because the car can move backward if the starting is not done properly, and it can be bad if we have a car behind.
The first case is to hill start with the help of the handbrake. Here you have to lift the foot of the clutch pedal as slowly as possible and feel the car as if it wants to start moving in reality the car will not leave with a handbrake on. Then you let go of the handbrake and notice that the car is still in place, and does not go backward. If you have come this far, everything is perfect, now comes the easy part, you just have to gradually raise the clutch pedal and accelerate slightly until the car starts to leave.
If the car has a diesel engine, the vibration felt is higher than petrol engines, at that time you know you have to accelerate. If the hill has a higher inclination, then you will need to accelerate a bit more when you feel the car wants to start moving. For petrol engines, you have to accelerate somewhere at about rpm, because petrol engines have the ideal torque at a higher RPM. The second case is the hill start by pressing the brake pedal. And, as I said, It's important, when you're doing hill starts, to get your foot off the throttle, as quickly as possible.
And, for those of you in racing, we call that a "brake stand. And, as I said, if you've done them the way that I've taught you, from the beginning, by bringing the clutch out to the friction point, holding the brake, and then going to the throttle, holding the vehicle with the clutch: You've already learned how to do hill starts.
Now, in another video, I'm going to show you how to recover, if you do, in fact, stall the vehicle. If you haven't looked at lesson one already, and isolated the clutch, and learned clutch control, and have good clutch control, and learn where the friction point is on your vehicle: Go back to lesson one.
And, If you want to know how to use the handbrake, you probably need to go to a driving instructor in Europe. Because, often, if you're on a steep hill, you're going to have to hold the brake hard, so it doesn't roll backwards. And, if you're on a hill, and you got traffic behind you, just give it a little bit more throttle. And then, you need to look at the video on stalling, and how to get the vehicle going, if, in fact, you do that.
So, question for my Smart Drivers: Do you use the handbrake, when you do Hill starts? Or, are you going to use the method that I showed you, with bringing a clutch out to the friction point, and then giving it some throttle, and taking off? Leave a comment, down in the comment section there. Check out all the videos, here on the channel, if you're working towards license, or starting a career as a truck or bus driver. Explained Simply. As well, it gives you step-by-step instructions to pass both your theory, and your practical air brake component, if you're working towards getting a license to drive a bus, a truck, or an RV unit.
