At this time, the accelerator pedal should be pressed down. Then, the left and right feet move in opposite directions. The left foot continues to slowly release the clutch pedal, and the right foot cooperates with the accelerator pedal to slowly press down. The action should be gentle, not too hasty, to prevent the car from shaking at the start.
