How to Start the Changan Alsvin Automatic Transmission?

Press the start button, at this time the ACC light will turn on, then press it again to begin the vehicle self-check. If it's a mechanical key switch, turn the key to the second position. Depress the brake pedal and press the start button once more to ignite. For a mechanical key, directly turn the key to the ignition position to start the engine. Release the foot brake, and you can choose to warm up the car in place for 1-3 minutes. Turn on the turn signal, depress the foot brake again, shift to D gear, and release the handbrake (for electronic handbrake, simply press the button). Slowly release the foot brake, press the accelerator, and the start is complete. Return the turn signal to its original position.
As a veteran driver with twenty years of experience, starting a Changan Yuexiang automatic transmission is actually quite simple, but it must be done step by step: After getting in the car, first fasten the seatbelt, adjust the seat and steering wheel position, and ensure the rearview mirrors provide a clear view of the rear. Then, firmly press the brake pedal and keep it depressed to prevent the car from rolling when starting. Next, turn the key or press the one-touch start button to ignite the engine, and wait for the RPM to stabilize. Now, gently shift the gear lever from P (Park) to D (Drive) with your left hand—never force it. As you slowly release the brake, the car will begin to move gently; at this point, lightly press the accelerator with your right foot and gradually increase speed to start smoothly. The key to the whole process is not to rush, especially for beginners who might forget to press the brake before shifting, which could damage the transmission or cause an accident. Regular maintenance, such as checking the brake fluid to ensure smooth operation, will make starting more stable and safer. Remember, good driving habits start from the very beginning.
I just got my driver's license not long ago, and starting the Changan Alsvin automatic transmission is quite interesting. After sitting in the driver's seat, I always remind myself to step on the brake first, which is as important as squeezing the brake on a bicycle. After starting the engine, the sound becoming quieter indicates everything is normal. When shifting the gear lever from P to D, I find the click sound quite reassuring, but it's important to operate gently. Releasing the brake, the car moves forward on its own, which feels effortless; then, adding a little throttle makes the tachometer rise, ensuring a smooth start. At first, I was too nervous and pressed the accelerator too hard, causing the car to jerk forward, but later I learned to control the pressure for a smoother start. Additionally, it's better to start slower in cold weather or after rain to avoid skidding. After practicing a few times, it becomes much easier, and now starting the car is almost effortless. I also remember to always keep a bottle of water in the car and open the window for better ventilation.
