The joke in the episode is much more clever than this anyway because the cyrillic н produces a latin N sound and is the initialism for нейтральный -- neutral. Crazy Vaclav is telling Homer to put it in neutral for the push-start, but helpfully recognizes that as an American he's going to interpret the character as an H.

Real answer: if it's a manual transmission, you put it in 1st gear and pop the clutch once you get some momentum.

So... actually, I'm not sure how putting it in нейтральный matches up here.

Presumably Crazy Vaclav wants Homer to put it in neutral while being pushed, then once up to speed he'll put it in gear and let out the clutch to start the engine. That's how you push-start a motorcycle engine, for instance, because the wet clutch drags somewhat even when it's disengaged, so the vehicle rolls more smoothly in neutral. It's certainly plausible to me that the strange tiny eastern european car uses a motorcycle engine and Vaclav is well aware of these distinctions.

I like the theory that it's actually a tractor engine, hence its fuel efficiency being measured in hectares.
