English translation:pull away

Explanation:
As in

I use second gear to pull away then striaght (sic) into third. At times I could do with a fourth gear on the down hill bits

When driving in snow i have heard people say that you should use second gear to pull away...?
http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=2009122210162...

Therefore the use of second gear when pulling away should be rare and reserved for experienced drivers and occasions where you have planned that a distinct safety advantage may be gained by keeping your hands on the steering wheel and where the quicker (although shorter distance) acceleration of first gear is inappropriate.

Sistema de arranque rápido para motores diesel com controlo electrónico (Instant Start System - ISS)

Com o Instant Start System da BERU (abreviado, ISS), o motor diesel arranca tão rapidamente e de forma tão segura como um motor a gasolina, mesmo a temperaturas exteriores extremamente baixas. Graças às velas incandescentes de potência melhorada e a uma unidade de comando electrónica, o tempo de incandescência e a tensão de cada uma das velas é regulada individualmente. O ISS contribui para um processo de combustão permanentemente seguro. Para além disso, consegue evitar em larga medida os problemas de aquecimento, o funcionamento irregular do motor, a detonação nos motores a diesel e o excesso de vibrações.
