Starting steps for Nissan Sylphy automatic transmission: First, press the start button, step on the brake, then shift from P to D gear, release the brake, and start. Below is an introduction to starting an automatic transmission: 1. The driver sits properly in the driver's seat, without stepping on the brake, directly presses the start button, at this time the ACC light turns on, press the start button again, and the vehicle performs a self-check. Note: It is recommended not to skip the self-check step every time during a cold start, while a hot start can choose to skip. 2. Step on the brake, then press the start button to ignite and start. Normally, pressing the ignition switch for 3 seconds can start the engine. If the engine is difficult to start, do not start frequently; let the engine rest for a while every 5 attempts to avoid burning out the starter. 3. Release the foot brake. You can choose to warm up the car in place, and the time can be determined according to the environment. Specifically, you can look at the water temperature gauge on the dashboard. When the water temperature reaches and stabilizes at around 90 degrees, it means the warm-up is complete. 4. Step on the foot brake again, shift to D gear, and release the handbrake. Before starting, observe the road conditions clearly through the rearview mirror to see if it is suitable to start, and also honk the horn and turn on the turn signal to alert other vehicles and pedestrians. 5. Slowly release the foot brake and start. After starting, you should quickly enter the road and drive at the prescribed speed.

Starting the automatic Nissan Sylphy is actually quite simple. I've been driving it for several years and believe the key is to follow clear steps to ensure safety. First, after getting in the car, always fasten your seatbelt and adjust the seat position for good visibility. Firmly press the brake pedal with your right foot, then shift the gear lever from P (Park) to D (Drive). If the handbrake is engaged, press the button to release it. Next, gently lift your right foot off the brake to allow the car to coast for a second or two, then lightly press the accelerator to start moving—avoid stomping on the gas pedal. The Sylphy's CVT transmission ensures smooth acceleration without jerking, making it ideal for daily commutes. After starting, maintain a steady speed and stay alert to road conditions, especially during city rush hours. Developing good habits saves fuel and enhances safety. Beginners are advised to practice in an open area first.

What should you do when driving a motor vehicle on wet roads?

Maintain a longer distance from the vehicle in front. A longer following distance can reduce the impact of water spray from the front vehicle's tires on your visibility. Control the steering smoothly. In case of heavy rain, stop the vehicle immediately. After driving through a waterlogged area, perform several light brake applications to dry the brake pads.
