When I first got the Audi Q3, I was quite nervous about starting it, but it became simple once I got used to it. After getting in, I first adjust the seat and seatbelt for comfort, then keep my foot on the brake pedal and lightly press the start button with my finger—the engine will hum to life. Next, I shift the gear lever from P to D. The automatic transmission design of the Audi Q3 means I don’t have to worry about a clutch. Releasing the brake and gently pressing the accelerator gets the car moving smoothly. When practicing in the parking lot, I make sure to check my surroundings to avoid blind spots, especially when reversing—adjusting the rearview mirrors properly is crucial. Audi’s intelligent start-stop feature is also thoughtful; the engine automatically shuts off at red lights and restarts with a tap on the accelerator, saving fuel and being eco-friendly. Beginners should practice multiple times in open spaces first to avoid mistakes due to nervousness.
