How to Start a Lavida Automatic Transmission Car?
2 Answers
Lavida automatic transmission starting method: When starting an automatic transmission car, ensure the gear lever is in P (Park) or N (Neutral) before starting the engine. Pay attention to coordinating the brake, handbrake, and throttle properly during startup. After shifting to D (Drive) gear, allow the vehicle to start slowly. Avoid stomping on the accelerator pedal, as it not only wastes fuel but also damages the vehicle. Note: Do not release the brake pedal when shifting gears. In terms of body dimensions, the Lavida measures 4600mm in length, 1700mm in width, and 1500mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm. Exterior-wise, the Lavida's front fascia design differs significantly from Volkswagen's previous A-segment models, particularly its unique teardrop-shaped headlight design. The traditional Volkswagen family grille and U-shaped front face design are also prominently featured and inherited in the Lavida.
As a novice driver, I was always worried about making mistakes when first learning to drive an automatic transmission car. After getting in the car, I would first sit steadily, adjust the seat and rearview mirrors to ensure a comfortable view. Fastening the seatbelt is the primary safety measure. Then, keeping my right foot firmly on the brake pedal, I would turn the key to start the engine, listening for the smooth operation of the engine. Next, I would use my right hand to shift the gear lever to the D (Drive) position. Gradually releasing the brake pedal, the car would gently start moving; at this point, I would lightly press the accelerator to gain speed, but with smooth control to avoid sudden jerks. In the Lavida, the automatic transmission responds sensitively, allowing even beginners to experience smooth transitions, especially when starting at traffic lights in the city. I remind myself to check the dashboard before starting to ensure no warning lights are on. Developing good habits can prevent accidents and boost driving confidence.
