* Automatic: You put the gear selector into "Drive" (D) to move forward, or "Reverse" (R) to move backward.
* Manual: You depress the clutch pedal, select the appropriate gear using the gear stick (1st gear for starting from a standstill, higher gears for higher speeds), and then slowly release the clutch pedal while gently applying the accelerator. You'll need to coordinate the clutch, gear, and accelerator to avoid stalling.
