Should automatic transmission cars be driven with one foot or two feet?

Driving an automatic transmission car should be done with one foot. Here are the details related to starting an automatic transmission car: Steps for starting the vehicle: Insert the key into the ignition switch, press the brake pedal to start the vehicle. After the engine starts, release the brake pedal and wait for 1 minute (this can be extended appropriately in winter) to allow the engine to be fully lubricated. During this time, you can fasten your seatbelt, adjust the seat, check the dashboard for any abnormal warnings, and ensure the rearview mirrors provide good visibility. Turn on the necessary lights if needed. Then, press the brake pedal, shift into gear, and finally release the handbrake. After checking the surrounding environment, you can release the brake pedal and prepare to start. Safe starting method: Press the foot brake, shift to D gear, release the handbrake, and then release the foot brake before pressing the accelerator to start. Some automatic transmission models may have an electronic handbrake. When the engine is idling, closing the door, fastening the seatbelt, and pressing the accelerator will automatically release the handbrake on most models. For manual transmission models with an electronic handbrake, the system will automatically release the electronic handbrake during startup with the coordination of the throttle and clutch.
