   Start your car/Khởi động xe. To start your car, you have to follow a few easy steps in the right order. Here's what you do/Để khởi động , bạn phải làm các bước theo thứ tự :
   

   • Release your emergency brake/Nhả thắng tay 
   • Put your foot on the brake/Để chân lên thắng .
   • Put your key in the ignition and turn it. You should hear it turning on/Cho chìa khóa vào và xoay . Bạn sẽ nghe máy nổ.

   Place your car into gear/Sang số. Since you are learning on an automatic, this will either be (D) Drive or (R) Reverse, depending on how you are parked/Vì xe bạn số tự động , bạn sẽ chuyển về D (Chạy tới) hay R (Thụt lùi) , tùy theo bạn đậu thế nào .
   

   • If you're driving forward, you should put your car in Drive/Nếu bạn muốn chạy tới , bạn phải chuyển sang D .
   • If you're driving backward, in order to back out of a driveway or a parking spot, your car should be in Reverse/Nếu bạn muốn thụt lùi , để từ nhà ra đường hay từ chỗ đậu , chuyển sang R .
   • If reversing, first check your rearview mirror and then place your hand on the passenger seat as you turn your head to the right to look behind you/Khi thụt lui , đầu tiên phải nhìn kiếng chiếu hậu và để tay lên ghế của hành khách và quay đầu về phải để nhìn sau xe bạn.

   Accelerate your car/Tăng tốc xe . You should accelerate your car to reach the speed limit in your neighborhood. If you're on the highway, you should be aware of the speed limit but go with the flow of traffic/Bạn nên tăng tốc xe để đạt giới hạn tốc độ (tốc độ cho phép)  trong khu vực bạn . Nếu bạn trên xa lộ , bạn nên để ý giới hạn tốc độ nhưng phải cùng nhịp với xe cộ quanh bạn .
   

   • If all the cars around you are going much slower than the speed limit due to traffic, drive accordingly to avoid crashing into them/Nếu tất cả xe quanh bạn chạy chậm hơn tốc độ cho phép (do nhiều xe hay kẹt xe) , lái làm sao để ko đụng họ .
   • If all of the cars around you are driving much faster than the speed limit, you don't have to break the law, but you can accelerate a bit so you don't slow the flow down too much/Nếu tất cả quanh bạn chạy nhanh hơn tốc độ cho phép , bạn ko thể phạm luật (bắt chước họ), nhưng bạn có thể tăng tốc một chút để ko làm chậm dòng xe đang chạy.
   • Remember that driving too slow can be just as dangerous as driving too fast/Nên nhớ chạy xe quá chậm cũng nguy hiểm như chạy xe quá nhanh.
   • Accelerate your car calmly. Don't push your foot too hard on the gas or you may go much faster than you intended. Know that each car has its own acceleration rate/Hảy tăng tốc từ từ. Ko nên đạp mạnh ga vì xe bạn có thể chạy nhanh hơn bạn nghĩ . Nên nhớ rằng mỗi xe có mức tăng tốc riêng .

   Steer your car properly/Cầm tay lái đúng cách. Proper steering techniques will make your driving experience smoother and will help you avoid collisions/Cầm tay lái đúng cách sẽ giúp xe chạy êm và tránh đụng xe . Steering your car the right way can help you turn and position in your car in the most convenient way/. Here are some tips for good steering/Sau đây là vài mẹo :
   

   • Make sure to have both hands on the wheel/Dùng cả hai tay.
   • Place your hands at either 8 or 4 o’clock, or slightly higher at 9 and 3 o’clock, depending on your preference/Để hai tay ở 8 hay 4 giờ , hay ở 9 và 3 giờ , tùy theo ý bạn. At this position, you can safely maneuver the wheel and are prevented from making any sharp turns/Ở cách này , bạn có thể an toàn điều khiển tay lái và ngăn ngừa quẹo gắt .
   • When making a turn, pull down on the side of the wheel you wish to turn towards and push up with opposite hand. This is called “pull-push” steering/Khi quẹo , kéo xuống phần của tay lái của phía bạn định quẹo và đẩy tay lái lên với tay kia .
   • To make sharper turns at lower speeds, use hand-over-hand turning/Để quẹo gắt với tốc độ chậm. To do this, perform a push-pull turn but bring your pull hand over your push hand in order to continue moving the wheel in the desired direction/Để làm điều này , vừa đẩy vừa kéo tay lái theo hướng bạn muốn.^[2]

   Understand your brakes/Tìm hiểu thắng của bạn. You should know how long it takes for your car to reach a full and complete stop when traveling at various speeds.
   

   • Always drive at least a car length behind the car in front of you/Luôn lái xe cách xe trước 1 độ dài của xe . If you have to make a fast stop, you do not want to crash into the front car/Nếu bạn ngừng gấp , bạn sẽ ko đụng vào xe trước.
   • When traveling at a faster speed, you will need even more than one car length in order to come safely to a stop/Nếu chạy tốc độ nhanh , bạn sẽ cần có khoảng cách lớn hơn với xe trước để có thể thắng xe an toàn so understand and observe the two-second rule, which states that you should be at least two seconds behind any car directly in front of you to keep a safe following distance/Do đó phải tuân thủ luật 2-giây , nghĩa là bạn có ít nhứt là hai giây cách xe trước mặt để có khoảng cách an toàn . Take weather and road conditions into account/Phải tính luôn thời tiết và tình trạng của đường.
   • Try not to stop suddenly unless it’s an emergency/Không nên ngừng đột ngột trừ phi là khẩn cấp . Sudden stops can lead to vehicles behind you plowing into your rear/Ngừng đột ngột sẽ khiến xe đằng sau đâm vào xe bạn .

   Signal appropriately/Ra dấu đúng cách. Remember that the person in the car behind you cannot read your mind. They don't know which direction you are going to move unless you signal/Nên nhớ xe sau ko biết bạn sẽ làm gì trừ phi bạn ra dấu .You should signal in the following situations/Bạn nên ra dấu trong những tình huống sau ^[3]:
   

   • As you approach the last 100 feet (30.5 m) before your turning point (left or right turn)/Khi bạn chỉ còn ít nhứt là 100 feet (30.5 m) là phải quẹo .
   • Before you change lanes, be sure that you signal at least 5 seconds prior/Trước khi đổi làn đường , phải ra dấu trước đó ít nhứt là 5 giây .

   • A general rule of thumb is if you have to ask yourself, "Should my lights be on right now?" then the answer is always yes.
   • Check the other cars on the road. If most of them turn their lights on, flick yours on too/Hảy xem các xe khác. Nếu phần lớn họ mở đèn , bạn cũng làm vậy 
   • Remember that some cars have lights that automatically turn on and off under certain conditions/Có một số xe tự động mở hay tắt đèn theo một số điều kiện. If you don't have one of these types of cars, make sure to turn your lights off when you park your car, or you may drain your battery/Nếu bạn ko có xe này , hảy nhớ tắt đèn khi đậu , nếu ko sẽ hết pin .

You can adjust them to move back and forth at different speeds depending on how hard the rain is falling/Bạn có thể điều chỉnh quạt nước tới lui ở tốc độ khác nhau tùy theo mưa lớn hay nhỏ .
   

   • Recognize that there are some states that require your full-headlights to be on when you run the wipes from anything between intermittent speed and faster/Một số bang yêu cầu bạn mở đèn pha khi xài xài quạt từ tốc độ gián đoạn hay nhanh hơn .
   • You can also use your wipers to squirt fluid on your windshield to wipe off any dirt or stains/Bạn có thể dùng quạt nước để lau mọi vết bẩn trên kiếng .
   • Do not drive if your wipers are broken. Driving in a storm without wipers is incredibly dangerous/Ko được chạy nếu quạt nước hư . Chạy xe lúc giông bão mà ko quạt nước sẽ rất nguy hiểm.

   Remember that many basic rules of driving apply to both automatic and manual cars. Though the differences between the cars will be discussed, there are many basic rules that still apply to both types of cars. They are:
   

   • The steps you should take to prepare for driving, such as adjusting your mirrors and avoiding distractions.
   • The rules of signaling appropriately.
   • The rules of changing lanes.
   • Using your lights and wipers when needed.
   • The placement of your hands on the wheel.

   Learn the controls. Most people will agree that the manual car is trickier to drive than the automatic because of the extra steps that need to be taken to drive successfully. However, many people also say that driving a manual car can be more fun and rewarding, because you'll be more involved in the driving process. If you have a manual car, you should recognize and use two extra controls. They are:
   

   • The clutch: The clutch controls the connection between the engine and transmission. Pushing on the clutch pedal disengages the clutch and disconnects the engine from the transmission. Releasing will engage the clutch and connect them. When disengaging the clutch you effectively place the car in neutral regardless of whether it is in gear or not. Engaging the clutch will place the car into whichever gear is currently selected.
   • The shifter: Shifting gears is done by moving a stick called either the gear stick, shift stick, gearshift, gear lever, gear selector, or shifter. Gear numbers and shift patterns will vary by model but the “default” position is “N” neutral, followed by gears that range from 1 to 5 or 1 to 6, and then “R” reverse.

   Start the car. Starting your manual car is a bit trickier than starting an automatic car. It will also take more practice. When you're starting out, make sure you're in an isolated location to prevent any mishaps. Here's how to do it:
   

   • Begin by stepping on the clutch. Most manual cars will not start unless the clutch is disengaged.
   • Once you have started the car, place your foot on the brake and release the emergency brake.
   • If moving forward, place the car into 1st gear. If reversing, place the car into reverse ("R").
   • As you slowly release the clutch, slowly apply pressure onto the gas pedal.
   • You will hear the engine revving up and then feel and hear the clutch “catch.” If the car moves forward without the engine stalling, then great work! You have successfully started the car and are traveling in 1st gear.
4. 
   

   to Drive

   Switch your gears to match your speed. Shift gears just as you would from Neutral to 1st gear in order to move into the higher gears. Before you start switching gears, remember these points:
   

   • You must shift gears in this order. Disengage the clutch by pressing on the clutch pedal. Shift gears using the shifter. Re-engage the clutch by slowly taking pressure off the clutch pedal while stepping on the gas.
   • Think of the clutch pedal and gas pedal as being proportionate to the other in pressure. They should act in concert together in the same way that a seesaw behaves. When one goes up, the other goes down.
   • Gradually applying gas while engaging the clutch will make shifting gears smoother. It will take time, but once you master the feeling of the clutch and gas, it will become second nature.
5. 
   

   to Drive
   5
   Move into higher gears for higher speed. Each car will have its own speed range for each gear. Some will tell you to only switch gears after reaching a certain RPM.
   

   • Listen to your car and switch when you think the engine needs to make the change.
6. 
   

   to Drive
   6
   Brake appropriately. Press on the clutch pedal and move into Neutral when braking. Moving the car into Neutral will ensure that the engine is no longer moving the transmission and prevents you from stalling as you decelerate with the brake.
   

   • You can potentially save gas and improve the life of your brakes by downshifting to decelerate. This takes practice however, so begin by just using your brakes.
7. 
   

   to Drive
   7
   Park your car. Once you've found the right place to park your car, it's important to follow a few key rules to park your manual car properly. Here's what you should do:
   

   • Leave your car in gear, not Neutral. It'll typically be in either reverse or first gear. If you leave it in Neutral, it won't stay put.
   • Take your keys out of the ignition.

• Can you keep on Neutral when driving down a hill?/có thể dùng neutral khi đổ dốc

  wikiHow Contributor

  You can, but it is often illegal in some countries/bạn có thể nhưng thường bất hợp pháp ở vài xứ . When the car is in gear, the friction between the engine and the gearbox (as they are connected) will slow the car down (this is known as engine braking)/khi hộp số nối kết với động cơ , ma sát giửa chúng sẽ khiến xe chạy chậm  . However, in neutral, the engine and the gearbox are no longer connected, which means this friction no longer occurs/tuy nhiên , nếu ở neutral , máy và hộp số ko nối kết , nghĩa là ko có ma sát . This means more braking power will be required to stop, which can be dangerous when going down hill as your speed will increase/nghĩa là bạn phải đạp thắng nhiều nếu muốn ngừng xe , điều này rất nguy hiểm khi xe đổ dốc và tốc độ tăng cao.

• Why must I drive with only one foot?

  wikiHow Contributor

  For an automatic transmission, it is not necessary to use two feet, because you should never hit the brakes and the accelerator at the same time. Use the rest provided for your second foot.

  Not Helpful 50 Helpful 210
• Will my car go in reverse if I use the brake?/xe tôi thụt lùi nếu tôi thắng 

  wikiHow Contributor

  No. The brake slows down your forward momentum by converting kinetic energy from rotating wheels into heat, or in the case of hybrids, electrical potential energy to store in batteries. Once the car is slowed/stopped, you'd have to engage reverse gear to go into reverse.

• Which gear should be for parking in an inclined position?/để ở số nào nếu đậu trên đường dốc

  wikiHow Contributor

  Your gear should be in P because in a neutral gear without applying any breaks (pedal or handbrake), there is a high possibility that the car may move down depending on the angle of inclination/phải ở P vì xe sẽ tuột dốc dù để ở Neutral .

• My flying wheel keeps breaking. What can be the cause? I often change to neutral in regular drive, in the name of saving fuel consumption, and do not stop completely before changing to drive/neutral/park/tôi thường chuyển về neutral khi lái bình thường , hầu tiết kiệm xăng , và ko ngừng hoàn toàn trước khi chuyển sang D , N , P . Could that be the cause of the flying wheel getting destroyed?

  wikiHow Contributor

  Going into park while the car is moving is a massive no-no. When you put the car into park, a prawl locks the output gear and prevents it from turning. If you engage park whilst the car is moving, you will destroy either the prawl or the output gear (which is a very expensive job to fix). Just leave the car in drive until you come to park up unless you're stuck in a traffic jam. You'll have more control of the car and in some situations leaving it in drive provides better fuel economy (in a modern car) as the engine will use the speed of the wheels to keep the engine rotating rather than providing fuel (in neutral it cannot do that).
