The difference between request and instructions
Instructions (also called imperatives)
Instructions require the person receiving them to do something, or to stop doing it. Instructions are directly addressed to the person who has to do them. Therefore, instructions are one of the few types of English sentences that do not need a subject. The subject is usually "you" (understood). If there is any doubt who should do the instruction, the "naming" form- the vocative is used.
Requests :
Requests are often questions, though indirect requesta may not be. Some times an instruction is changed into a request by the addition of "please" or a question tag. To make a request more polite we might use the subjunctive form of the verb. Very often English requests are indirect. Instead of asking someone to do something, the speaker asks if the person is able to do it. There more modals of ability ("can", "may",etc) are very often used.
For the example of dialogue :
Ahmad : What i do first ?

Sinta : How do I start the engine?
Dori : Turn the key and push the accelarator.
Elin : What do I do now ?
Firman : Shake the bottle first and then open the cap of the bottle.
