How to Start a Borgward Automatic Transmission Car?
2 Answers
There is no need to press the brake pedal; simply press the start button once, at which point the ACC light will turn on. Press it once more, and the vehicle will begin its self-check. Press the brake pedal and then press the start button again to ignite and start the engine. Under normal circumstances, the engine will start within 3 seconds of pressing the ignition switch. Release the foot brake. You can choose to warm up the car in place, and the duration can be adjusted based on the environment. Press the foot brake again, shift to D gear, and release the handbrake (for electronic handbrakes, simply press the button briefly). Slowly release the foot brake to start moving. After starting, you should quickly merge onto the road and drive at the designated speed.
Starting a Borgward automatic transmission car is actually quite easy. First, I sit in the driver's seat, adjust the seat and mirrors, and make sure the seatbelt is securely fastened. Before starting the engine, I always press the brake pedal, then press the start button or turn the key to ignite, waiting for all dashboard indicator lights to go off before proceeding. Then, I shift the gear from P (Park) to D (Drive) smoothly without rushing. Gradually releasing the brake pedal allows the car to start moving naturally—avoid stomping on the accelerator right away. After starting, gently press the accelerator to speed up, ensuring smooth operation. In rainy or snowy conditions, starting slower helps maintain stability and reduces the risk of skidding. Borgward's responsive electronic systems make driving effortless and safe.
