How to Start a Volkswagen Lamando Automatic Transmission?
2 Answers
Starting method for Volkswagen Lamando automatic transmission: 1. Adjust the seat properly and fasten the seat belt. 2. Turn on the ignition switch, shift to neutral, press the brake, and start the car. 3. Release the handbrake. 4. Press the clutch pedal all the way down. 5. Shift to first gear and release the clutch pedal. Here are some additional details: 1. In terms of configuration, the Lamando comes standard with LED headlights, engine start-stop, auto hold, in-cabin PM2.5 filter, ambient lighting, etc. Mid-to-high trim models offer optional features like sports seats, an 8-inch LCD screen, cruise control, and carbon fiber-style interior trim. 2. In terms of power, the Lamando is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine. The entry-level model features a low-power version with a maximum power output of 96kW (131PS) and a peak torque of 225N·m, paired with a DSG 7-speed dual-clutch transmission or a 5-speed manual transmission.
When I first started driving the Lamando, I wasn't very familiar with it either. I remember the instructor saying that the most important thing about starting an automatic transmission car is not to rush. After getting in the car, first fasten the seatbelt and adjust the seat, then press the brake pedal to start the engine. Wait until the dashboard indicators are normal before shifting the gear lever to the D position. Then release the electronic parking brake—remember to keep your foot on the brake at this point. Check the rearview mirror to ensure it's safe, then slowly release the brake, and the car will start to creep forward. At this point, a light tap on the accelerator will allow for a smooth start. Beginners with automatic transmissions often make the mistake of releasing the brake too quickly or pressing the accelerator too hard. In reality, the car will move on its own at idle speed, and pressing the accelerator too aggressively might even lead to a rear-end collision, especially in traffic jams where extra caution is needed.
