Isitshixo sokuqala socango lwemoto sisitshixo socango esinomatshini, esisetyenziselwa ukuthintela ucango lwemoto ukuba luvuleke ngokuzenzekelayo xa kwenzeka ingozi, sidlala indima yokhuseleko lokuqhuba kuphela, kungekhona indima yokulwa nobusela. Ngokuhambela phambili koluntu, uphuhliso lwesayensi netekhnoloji kunye nokwanda okuqhubekayo kobunini bemoto, iingcango zeemoto kunye neelori ezenziwe kamva zixhotyiswe ngesitshixo socango esinesitshixo. Esi sitshixo socango silawula kuphela ucango, kwaye ezinye iingcango zivulwa okanye zitshixwe ngeqhosha lokutshixa ucango ngaphakathi emotweni. Ukuze zidlale ngcono indima yokulwa nobusela, ezinye iimoto zixhotyiswe ngesitshixo sokuqondisa. Isitshixo sokuqondisa sisetyenziselwa ukutshixa umshafti wokuqondisa wemoto. Isitshixo sokuqondisa sibekwe nesitshixo sokukhanyisa phantsi kwedayali yokuqondisa, elawulwa sisitshixo. Oko kukuthi, emva kokuba isitshixo sokukhanyisa sinqumle isekethe yokutsha ukuze sicime injini, jika iqhosha lokutsha kwakhona liye kwindawo yomda, kwaye ulwimi lokutsha luza kwanda kwindawo yokuqhuba ukuze lutshixe umshafti wokuqondisa wemoto ngoomatshini. Nokuba umntu uvula ucango ngokungekho mthethweni aze aqalise injini, ivili lokuqhuba litshixiwe kwaye imoto ayinakujika, ngoko ke ayinakubaleka, ngaloo ndlela idlala indima yokulwa nobusela. Ezinye iimoto ziyilwe kwaye zenziwe ngaphandle kwesitshixo sokuqhuba, kodwa zisebenzisa enye into ebizwa ngokuba yi-crutch lock ukutshixa ivili lokuqhuba, ukuze ivili lokuqhuba lingajiki, linokudlala indima yokulwa nobusela.
Iswitshi yepointi isetyenziselwa ukuvula okanye ukucima i-injini, ngokwesitshixo sokuvula isitshixo, kodwa ikwadlala indima ethile ekulweni nobusela.
