How to Operate and Drive an Automatic Transmission Car?
1 Answers
To operate and drive an automatic transmission car, first start the engine by placing the gear lever in the P (Park) position, as the engine can only be started in this position. Press the brake pedal, then turn the ignition to start the engine. If the engine is cold, let it run for a while. Next, shift the gear lever to the D (Drive) position, release the handbrake, turn on the left turn signal, and honk twice if necessary. Then, release the brake pedal and gently press the accelerator to start moving. During normal driving, keep the gear in D. When encountering uphill or downhill slopes, you can switch to the L (Low) gear or manual mode (M) to manually downshift. If you encounter a red light lasting several seconds, it is recommended to shift to N (Neutral) while waiting. During normal driving, you can freely switch between D and manual mode without stopping. When parking, stop the car, shift to N, engage the handbrake, release the brake pedal, then shift to P (Park). Finally, check that all windows are closed, turn off the lights and all electrical devices, and then turn off the engine.
