Starting Sequence for Driving a Small Car?
2 Answers
First press the start button once, and after the ACC light comes on, press the start button again. At this point, the one-touch start button turns green, indicating that the vehicle's power is fully connected and self-check is initiated. Then, depress the brake or clutch pedal and press the one-touch start button to start the vehicle. In summary, press the one-touch start button twice first, then press the brake or clutch pedal. In case of an emergency, vehicles equipped with one-touch start can turn off the engine by pressing the one-touch start button for more than 3 seconds or pressing it three times consecutively. Some vehicles require depressing the brake pedal while pressing the one-touch start button to turn off the engine, at which point the power switches to the ACC state.
When I first started learning to drive, the instructor taught me very carefully. Before starting the car, adjust the seat and rearview mirrors first, otherwise, the driving posture would be awkward and affect visibility. Wearing a seatbelt is a must, and I still maintain this habit to this day. For key-start cars, turn the key to the ON position and wait for the self-check lights to go off. For push-button start cars, don't rush to press the brake; press once to power on and wait for all the dashboard lights to illuminate. After the self-check, press the brake or clutch to start the engine. For manual transmission cars, remember to shift to neutral before starting. Once the engine sound stabilizes, shift to D or 1st gear. Before releasing the handbrake, check the left and right rearview mirrors, and be extra careful about slippery roads on rainy days. After starting, don't immediately stomp on the accelerator; wait half a minute for the RPM to drop before moving off. This is good for the engine when the car is cold.
