The Correct Method for Beginners to Start a Magotan
4 Answers
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.
When teaching someone to drive, I emphasize that the basics of starting are the most important. For beginners driving a Magotan, start with checks: adjust the seat so your feet can naturally press the brake, and set the rearview mirror angle to clearly see behind. Sit firmly and fasten your seatbelt. Press the brake to start the engine, ensuring no warning lights on the dashboard. Then move the gear shift from P or N to D. Gradually release the brake pedal, and the car will creep at low speed. At this point, observe the surroundings, confirm safety, and then gently press the accelerator to speed up. The accelerator should be pressed evenly and softly to avoid sudden acceleration leading to loss of control. Developing the habit of always checking blind spots and mirrors before starting is crucial. Practicing this about ten times will help master the rhythm of a smooth start.
Having driven for over a decade, I believe the key to starting smoothly lies in simplicity. Starting the Magotan automatic transmission is quite effortless: sit properly, press the brake to start the engine, shift to D gear, then gradually release the brake. When the car begins to creep, gently press the accelerator to speed up. Avoid impatiently stomping on the accelerator, as it wastes fuel and isn't safe. Beginners should focus on controlling foot pressure—releasing the brake too abruptly can cause jerking. It's also good practice to quickly check blind spots before starting. The car's design makes it easy to handle, and it becomes natural after a few drives.
