The Correct Method for Beginners to Start a Magotan

The correct method for beginners to start a Magotan: Enter the vehicle, depress the brake pedal, start the engine, press the button on the gear lever, shift the gear to D position, release the parking brake, slowly release the brake pedal, and gently press the accelerator pedal to accelerate the vehicle and complete the start. Precautions for using an automatic transmission car: 1. It is best not to coast in neutral while driving, as this will wear the gears of the transmission and reduce its service life. 2. When switching between P, R, N, and D gears, always stop the vehicle before shifting. When the car is in motion, the gear is locked and cannot be shifted. 3. When waiting at a traffic light, if the wait is long, you can shift to N gear to prevent the need to keep the brake pedal depressed in D gear, which can pose safety hazards and affect the car's braking system. 4. The transmission fluid of an automatic transmission car should generally be replaced after about 80,000 kilometers of driving. If the vehicle is used frequently and mostly in urban areas, it can be replaced after about 60,000 kilometers.
As a new driver who just got my license, I was quite nervous when learning to start the car. After sitting in the Magotan driver's seat, the first thing is to adjust the seat and rearview mirrors to ensure a comfortable back position and clear visibility. Buckling the seatbelt is essential. Press the brake pedal to start the engine, and after a normal start, check that the idle speed is stable. Shifting to D gear requires careful attention—gently push the lever into position. Release the brake slowly; if done too quickly, the car may jerk and become unstable. Then lightly press the accelerator to speed up, avoiding a sudden hard press which could cause the car to lurch forward. I often remind myself to glance at the rearview mirror and blind spots before starting, ensuring no people or vehicles are approaching before moving. After practicing a few times, I found it’s not that difficult—mainly controlling the foot pressure and staying calm allows for a smooth start.
