BDifficulty 2/5

As general efficient-driving advice for a modern combustion-engine car, how should you start it, following manufacturer instructions?

Correct answer

Without pressing the accelerator.

Start without pressing the accelerator and avoid unnecessary revving. Follow the manufacturer procedure: some vehicles require the clutch or brake to be pressed to enable starting. That requirement does not mean you must accelerate. This advice does not replace specific procedures for other engine or vehicle types.
