The method for starting an automatic transmission car is: 1. Without pressing the foot brake, press the start button twice to initiate the car's computer system self-check, which should last at least 6 seconds; 2. Press the foot brake and press the start-stop button to ignite; 3. Release the foot brake and let the car warm up in place; 4. Press the foot brake, release the handbrake, and shift the gear from P to D; 5. Slowly release the foot brake to start moving; 6.

When parking an automatic transmission car, first bring the vehicle to a complete stop at the intended spot, firmly applying the foot brake to prevent any movement. Then engage the parking brake—whether it's electronic or mechanical—making sure it's fully activated. This step is especially crucial on slopes or uneven surfaces to prevent the car from rolling. Next, shift into Park (P) to lock the transmission; take it easy, then slowly turn off the engine by turning the key or pressing the button. Finally, don't forget to check that the doors are locked and the windows are fully closed. I do a lot of city driving, and on slopes, I also make a habit of turning the wheels toward the curb and using wheel chocks for extra security—safety first! Once, I forgot to engage the parking brake before shifting to P, and the car rolled slightly, costing me a few hundred dollars in repairs. I've been practicing these detailed habits for ten years now, and my car has stayed trouble-free, saving me headaches and extending its lifespan.
