How to Start a Car Correctly?

The one-button start is part of a smart car. After getting into the car, make the necessary preparations before starting, then press the brake and push the one-button start button to ignite the vehicle. After successful ignition, the car can begin normal operation. China's one-button start technology for cars is relatively advanced globally. As long as the smart key is within the car's sensing range, the vehicle can detect the key's presence and enable remote start. This not only reflects the vehicle's intelligence but also plays a significant role in anti-theft measures. The one-button start technology greatly simplifies the car ignition process and reduces the use of car keys. However, even vehicles equipped with a one-button start function usually have a key lock, but the key is more often used as a backup option to prevent the car from failing to start due to a malfunction in the one-button start feature. Additionally, during driving, the one-button start function can automatically lock and unlock when the engine is off, avoiding safety hazards associated with opening doors.
As a beginner learning to drive, I was quite nervous at first, worried about making mistakes during startup. The correct way to start the engine is actually very simple. For an automatic transmission car, first sit properly and insert the key, make sure the gear lever is in the P position, then press the brake pedal with your right foot, turn the key to the start position, and release it once you hear the engine sound. For a manual transmission, you need to press the clutch, shift to neutral, and then turn the key to start. Key ignition is the most common method, but many new cars now have push-button start, which operates similarly—just press the button. However, it's important to check if the handbrake is engaged and ensure there are no obstacles around before starting. A common mistake beginners make is forgetting to press the brake before turning the key, resulting in the engine not cranking. You'll get used to it after a few tries—safety first, take it slow. Regularly check fuel levels and coolant temperature to ensure a smooth startup. In short, follow the steps one by one, avoid rushing, and you'll be able to start your car without any issues.
