Correct Method for Starting a MG Automatic Transmission Car
2 Answers
After the driver sits in the driver's seat, there is no need to press the brake pedal, just press the start button directly. Then shift the gear from P (Park) to N (Neutral). Shift the gear from N (Neutral) to D (Drive), and smoothly release the brake pedal. After the car starts moving slowly, gradually press the accelerator pedal to give it some gas, and the car will start moving.
When I first drove the MG automatic transmission, I always paid attention to safety and a comfortable start: Before getting in the car, I would walk around it to check for any obstacles nearby; after entering, I adjusted the seat and rearview mirrors to the most comfortable position and fastened the seatbelt to ensure my safety. Then, I firmly pressed the brake pedal, started the engine, and let it run for a few seconds to warm up; next, I smoothly shifted the gear lever from P to D, making sure the movement was steady and not too hasty. After releasing the handbrake button, I gradually eased off the brake, feeling the car start to move slightly before gently pressing the accelerator to speed up. MG's electronic systems are excellent, with an automatic parking function on slopes that prevents rolling back, which is very reassuring. After starting, I avoided pressing the accelerator too hard, maintaining a steady speed for greater safety, especially on slippery roads during rain or snow, where extra caution is needed. This approach not only helps develop good habits but also extends the lifespan of components, giving me a sense of security every time.
