Steps for Starting and Parking an Automatic Transmission Car
1 Answers
The steps for starting are: Turn the ignition key to the second position, to the power position, allowing the car's computer system to begin self-checking for at least 6 seconds or more. Then, press the foot brake and shift the gear from P (Park) to N (Neutral) (if reversing, start the engine directly in P). Release the foot brake, turn the ignition key to the start position to ignite the engine (the warm-up time depends on different car models and environmental temperatures, but avoid sudden acceleration and braking in low-temperature conditions). The steps for parking are: Press the foot brake to stop the car, then shift the gear from D (Drive) to N (Neutral). Engage the handbrake firmly, turn off the engine, and release the foot brake, but do not turn off the power (the purpose is to ensure the car comes to a complete stop under the handbrake's effect). Press the foot brake again, shift the gear from N to P, release the foot brake, turn the key back, turn off the power, and remove the key.
