Toyota Corolla automatic transmission starting method: 1. Walk around the vehicle to check if any of the four tires are underinflated or punctured, then insert the key and start the engine; 2. After the engine starts, wait about 1 to 2 minutes until the RPM drops to around 1000, press the brake pedal with your right foot, shift the gear to D (Drive), release the handbrake, then slowly lift your right foot - the vehicle will begin to move forward; 3. When encountering traffic congestion or red lights while driving, simply press the brake pedal to stop the vehicle without changing gears. When the light turns green, just release the brake to continue moving forward.

I have quite a bit of experience driving a Toyota Corolla automatic. First, buckle up and adjust the seat to a comfortable position, ensuring you can reach the pedals. Press the brake to start the engine, and once the 'ready' light comes on, shift gears. Start from P (Park), press the brake to shift to D (Drive), gently release the handbrake, and the car will move as you slowly release the brake. While driving, there's no need to shift gears—press the accelerator to speed up and lightly tap the brake to slow down. At traffic lights, shift to N (Neutral) to rest. For reversing, shift to R (Reverse) and operate at a slow speed. When parking, press the brake, shift to P (Park), pull up the handbrake, and turn off the engine. Remember to regularly check tire pressure and oil levels, and maintain smooth driving. Driving an automatic is very convenient in the city, but be extra cautious on wet or snowy roads. Practice in empty parking lots to get used to sudden stops and smooth starts.
