How Many Turns of the Car Key Are Needed to Start the Engine?
1 Answers
Two turns of the car key are needed to start the engine. This is because the car key has two positions: the first is the vehicle's operating position, also known as the ON position, and the second is the starting position, referred to as the ST position. Functions of the ON and ST positions: When in the ON position, the vehicle's entire electrical system is activated, including the engine's electronic control system. At this stage, most of the vehicle's electrical devices are turned on, and all dashboard lights illuminate, indicating this position. In the ST position, the vehicle cuts off power to the body circuits to ensure the starter motor operates, retaining only the engine's electronic control system power. The starter motor then engages to start the engine. Once the engine is running, releasing the key automatically returns it to the ON position, allowing the vehicle to operate normally. Introduction to Manual Transmission Gears: 1st Gear: Used for normal starts or climbing very steep hills. Speed typically around 10 km/h; 2nd Gear: A transitional gear for acceleration after starting or for low-speed driving, speed generally around 20 km/h; 3rd Gear: Used at speeds between 20-40 km/h, commonly used in urban driving; 4th Gear: Used at speeds between 40-60 km/h; 5th Gear: Used at speeds above 60 km/h; N Gear: Neutral, used when idling or parked; R Gear: Reverse gear, engaged when the vehicle is stationary to move backward.
