Driving tips for automatic transmission cars: 1. When waiting at a red light: Depending on your driving habits, you can temporarily stop by pressing the brake while keeping the gear in D, because the torque converter in the transmission is equipped with a reaction wheel with a one-way clutch, which amplifies the torque from the engine crankshaft. It does not rotate at engine idle speed and only engages when the engine speed increases. 2. When starting the car: You must press the brake pedal to move the gear lever from P or N to a driving gear. After releasing the brake pedal, the vehicle will start moving slowly. The purpose of pressing the brake in advance is to ensure the safety of the driver and the vehicle. 3. When starting the engine: The engine can only be started when the gear lever is in the P or N position. If the gear lever is in a driving gear, such as D, R, etc., the engine cannot be started.
