How to start-up my car

[yaristhebest]

Hi,

I own a Yaris 2012 Sedan with 5 speed manual transmission. This question might sound extremely basic but I just want to make sure that I'm following the proper steps to start-up my car. This is what I do:

1. Ensure that the handbrake is active.
2. Ensure that my car is in neutral.
3. Press all the clutch and then use the key to start the engine.

My question is regarding the point #3 because some people told me that not only I should press the clutch but also the brake and only then when both pedals are being pressed use the key to start the engine. Is this true?

Thank you!
