Steps to turn off an automatic transmission car: Press the brake, pull the handbrake, shift to P gear, and turn off the engine. When the car comes to a complete stop, shift the gear to P. The method to start an automatic transmission car is as follows: 1. Without pressing the foot brake: Press the start button twice to initiate the car's computer system self-check, for at least 6 seconds. 2. Press the foot brake: Press the start/stop button to ignite. 3. Release the foot brake: Warm up the car while stationary. 4. Press the foot brake: Release the handbrake and shift the gear from P to D. 5. Start: Slowly release the foot brake to start. Then, smoothly press the accelerator according to road conditions.
Turning off an automatic car is actually quite simple, even a newbie like me who just got a driver's license can remember it clearly. First, you need to stop the car completely and make sure your foot stays on the brake pedal without releasing it, so the car won't move. Then, shift the gear to P (Park), which locks the wheels and prevents the car from rolling. Finally, turn off the engine: if it's a key ignition, turn it clockwise to the off position; if it's a push-button start, just press it lightly. Don't forget to engage the handbrake for extra safety, especially on slopes to prevent the car from moving. When learning to drive, the instructor always reminded me not to turn off the engine while in N (Neutral) or D (Drive), as it can seriously damage the transmission. At first, I often made mistakes, but now it's become a habit to check if the dashboard lights are off before leaving the car. Take it step by step, and with practice, it will become second nature.
