Insert the key and turn it to the ACC position, then wait for 2-3 seconds to allow the main power relay contacts to stabilize and make proper contact; This allows the first set of components requiring power to be energized; Continue turning the key to the ON position, then pause and wait for 6-10 seconds to let the fuel pump relay engage; After waiting for all sensors to complete their adjustment states, turn the key to the START position until the engine runs continuously, then return it to the ON position.
I've been driving for decades, and starting a sedan is quite simple but don't be careless. First, sit in the driver's seat, close the door properly, and adjust the seat position and steering wheel to make yourself comfortable—this step is crucial for long trips. Then fasten your seatbelt—safety first. Next, press the brake pedal; whether it's a manual or automatic transmission, pressing the brake prevents the car from moving unexpectedly. If the car uses a key ignition, insert it into the ignition switch, slowly turn it to the ON position and wait two seconds (to let the system self-check), then gently turn it to START until the engine starts and release. Some newer cars have push-button starts—just press the button while holding the brake. After starting, take a glance at the dashboard; if the RPM is normal, everything's fine. If it doesn't start, it might be a dead battery or a key with no power—try turning on the headlights to check their brightness. Regular maintenance should include checking the battery's lifespan.
