Which of the following actions should you perform to move off smoothly?
aGradually disengage the clutch pedal.
bSuddenly disengage the clutch pedal.
cFirst increase the engine revolutions significantly and then quickly disengage the clutch pedal.
Why?
Releasing the clutch pedal gradually transfers drive smoothly from the engine to the wheels, allowing you to move off without a jerk. Releasing it abruptly can make the car lurch or stall the engine. High engine revs combined with a quick clutch release can cause a sudden launch and wheelspin.
