Should You Slowly Release the Brake When Starting an Automatic Transmission Car?

[VanFrank]

When starting an automatic transmission car, you should smoothly release the foot brake to allow the vehicle to start slowly using the creep phenomenon. Below is a related introduction about starting an automatic transmission car: 1. Correct method: (1) First move the gear selector to the intended driving position before pressing the accelerator pedal. (2) When pressing the accelerator, avoid stomping on it; instead, press it gently and gradually to accelerate slowly. 2. Precautions: When accelerating from a start in an automatic transmission car, avoid stomping on the accelerator and holding it down, as this will only increase the engine RPM, leading to engine roar and transmission wear, resulting in unnecessary fuel waste. Instead, gently press the accelerator to utilize low-speed downshifting for increased torque, allowing for gradual and uniform acceleration. Once the speed has increased, you can then accelerate further. This method will make driving an automatic transmission car feel smoother.
