Here are the steps to start an automatic transmission car: 1. Get in the car, insert the key, and turn it to the second ignition position (power mode), then wait for the system self-check to complete; 2. Shift the gear lever from P (Park) to N (Neutral); 3. Release the brake and start the car's engine; 4. Press the brake pedal with your foot, shift the gear lever from N to D (Drive), then release the brake and press the accelerator to start moving. Here are some extended driving tips for automatic transmission cars: 1. Start gently by pressing the accelerator lightly. When starting, shift into P or N gear, and avoid coasting in neutral; 2. Shift back to N gear when waiting at traffic lights or during brief stops, and shift into P gear when parking; 3. Do not shift into P gear while driving; 4. When reversing, make sure the vehicle is completely stopped before shifting into R (Reverse) gear.
Driving an automatic transmission car is actually quite simple. Here's how I usually do it: First, fasten the seat belt and adjust the seat and mirrors to ensure a comfortable view. Then, press the brake pedal with your right foot and start the engine. Wait until all dashboard indicator lights are normal, keep pressing the brake, shift the gear lever from P (Park) to D (Drive), and release the electronic parking brake or traditional handbrake. At this point, slowly lift the brake pedal, and the car will start moving forward on its own. Gently press the accelerator to start driving. The car will automatically shift gears based on speed, so there's no need to worry about the clutch. When parking, first press the brake to come to a complete stop, then shift back to P (Park), engage the parking brake, and finally turn off the engine and remove the key. Be careful not to shift gears when the car hasn't completely stopped, as it can seriously damage the transmission. After practicing a few times, muscle memory will naturally form.
