How to Properly Start a Mondeo Automatic Transmission Car?
2 Answers
After the driver sits in the driver's seat, press the start button once, then press it again; at this point, the vehicle performs a self-check. Depress the brake pedal and press the start button once more to ignite and start the engine. Release the foot brake; you may choose to warm up the car in place. Shift to D gear and release the handbrake. Slowly release the foot brake to start; after starting, you should quickly enter the road and drive at the prescribed speed.
I've been driving a Mondeo automatic transmission car for over ten years, and starting the car seems simple but safety comes first. After getting in the car, first adjust the seat and rearview mirrors to ensure a clear view, and fastening the seatbelt is a must. Then, firmly press the brake pedal with your right foot and hold it down—don’t rush to start the engine—and make sure there are no people or obstacles around. Next, turn the key all the way to start the engine; usually, a slight sound is enough. Then gently shift the gear lever from P to the uppercase D, and the Mondeo’s transmission will respond smoothly. Release the brake pedal, and the car will start moving slowly. At this point, don’t stomp on the accelerator; first, get used to smooth acceleration. When starting on a slope, there might be a slight rollback, so remember to quickly switch your foot to the accelerator. Before starting, it’s best to check the dashboard—if the coolant temperature gauge or oil light is on, don’t move yet, as the car might not be warmed up or may need maintenance. Making it a habit to check these things every time you start will double your driving safety and boost your confidence on the road.
