Correct Starting and Parking Procedures for the Regal?
2 Answers
Computer system self-check, more than 6 seconds, press the foot brake, shift the gear from P to N. Start the engine, insert the key and turn it to the power-on position, wait for the car system self-check to complete. Release the handbrake, shift the gear from N to D, start on a slope, slowly release the foot brake, start, and accelerate onto the road. Shift out of P to R or D, press the electronic brake, release the foot brake, and start by giving gas. When giving gas here, the electronic brake will automatically release. If the vehicle stays in the speed range of 10 to 20 kilometers for a long time, the automatic transmission may stay in first gear and the engine speed may increase.
The first time I drove the Regal, the starting procedure required real attention: first sit properly and adjust the seat and rearview mirrors, fasten the seat belt, and after igniting to start the engine, take a glance at the dashboard to ensure no warning lights are on; then press the brake pedal, shift to D gear, release the handbrake, and gently press the accelerator to start smoothly—never rush it, or the car might jerk, especially when turning, always scan both side mirrors. Parking also has its specifics: slow down to a complete stop before firmly pressing the brake, shift to P gear, engage the electronic handbrake, and don’t forget to remove the key after turning off the engine; I always double-check if the windows are closed to avoid attracting thieves. New drivers will get the hang of it after a few practices—safety first is always right, and placing a phone holder in the car for navigation reminders is even more secure.
