Automatic transmission push-button ignition starting and driving steps are: 1. After sitting in the driver's seat, press the start button once to light up the ACC indicator, then press again for vehicle self-check; 2. Depress the brake pedal and press the push-button ignition to start the engine; 3. Release the foot brake - you may choose to warm up the engine; 4. Depress the brake pedal again, shift to D gear and release the parking brake (for electronic parking brake, simply press the button briefly); 5. Gradually release the foot brake to complete starting. The correct parking method for automatic transmission is: 1. Upon reaching parking position, maintain brake pressure until vehicle comes to complete stop; 2. Shift gear lever to N position without releasing the brake; 3. Engage parking brake, then release foot brake; 4. After ensuring full stop, depress brake again and shift to P gear before locking and exiting the vehicle.
I've been driving an automatic transmission car with a push-button start for several years and find starting it quite simple. To start the engine, you must sit in the driver's seat, press the brake pedal firmly, and then press the start button; the engine will automatically ignite. Next, shift the gear lever to D (Drive), release the brake, and the car may begin to creep forward slowly. At this point, gently pressing the accelerator will allow for a smooth start. Before starting, always check that the seatbelt is fastened and be aware of any obstacles around to avoid scratches or accidents. It's a good habit to check the rearview mirror before moving, especially in parking lots—the reverse lights indicate the car is in reverse gear, so ensure it's safe before proceeding. If you forget to press the brake, the car won't start; just patiently try again without rushing. While driving, maintain steady pressure on the accelerator to control speed, which also helps save fuel.
As a newbie driver, I was a bit nervous the first time I used the one-button start. First, sit firmly and press the brake pedal, because the button won't respond if you don't press it. Press the start button and when you hear the engine sound, it means the ignition is successful. Then shift to D, slowly release the brake, and the car will naturally start moving. Gently press the accelerator to start, don't press too hard to avoid lurching forward. At first, I forgot to press the brake a few times and failed to start, which made my friends laugh. Now I'm used to it, just three simple steps: press the brake, start, and go. Before starting, check the dashboard to make sure no warning lights are on; after starting, take a few seconds to adapt to the speed, especially on slippery rainy roads, be more gentle. Remember to also press the brake and the start button to turn off the car when shutting down.
