2 Answers
To drive a Corolla automatic transmission: 1. Step on the brake and insert the key to start the engine; 2. Step on the brake, shift into D gear, and release the brake to start driving; 3. When parking, step on the brake and shift into P gear. The dimensions of the Corolla are 4630mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1480mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. This car is equipped with Michelin 215/45R17 tires, TRD Sportivo high-performance shock absorbers, TRD TF4 17-inch sport rims, reinforced clutch, and high-performance brake pads. The Corolla features a newly developed inline 4-cylinder 1.8L engine with dual VVT-i technology, paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 100kW and a peak torque of 175Nm.
I was a bit nervous the first time I drove a Corolla automatic, but I got the hang of it quickly. After sitting in the driver's seat and fastening the seat belt, I pressed the brake pedal and started the engine, which sounded smooth. Then I shifted the gear lever from P to D, gently released the brake and added a bit of throttle, and the car slowly moved forward without needing to shift gears. When stopping at a red light while driving, I simply pressed the brake and waited; after the light turned green, I pressed the throttle to continue driving. In traffic jams, just keeping the gear in D is simple and worry-free. When parking, first press the brake to stop completely, then shift to P and pull the handbrake to prevent rolling. The Corolla's steering wheel is light and offers good control, making it easy for beginners to adapt. After a few days of driving, I felt much more confident. For daily driving, remember not to press the throttle too hard to save fuel, maintain smooth acceleration, and prioritize safety first.
