The correct steps to start an automatic transmission car are: 1. Depress the clutch, wait 5 to 8 seconds when turning the ignition key to the ON position; 2. Then turn the key to the start position to start the engine; 3. Immediately release the ignition key after the engine starts smoothly, allowing it to automatically return to the ON position. Automatic transmission means the driver does not need to manually shift gears, as the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. The gears of an automatic transmission are: 1. P gear is the parking gear; 2. R gear is the reverse gear; 3. N gear is the neutral gear; 4. D gear is the drive gear; 5. S gear is the sport mode; 6. L gear is the low-speed gear.

What to Do When the License Plate Retention Period Expires After One Year?

Within one year after transferring or deregistering the old vehicle, you can apply to the vehicle management office to retain the original license plate during this period. Previously, license plates had to be used for more than three years before they could be retained. Many car owners who wanted to change vehicles waited for three years to do so in order to keep their license plates. If there were any road violations or fines incurred while driving the original vehicle, all fines must be paid before applying to retain the original license plate number.
