Sylphy starting steps: 1. Press the foot brake and press the start button twice to initiate the car's computer system self-check, lasting at least 6 seconds; 2. Press the foot brake and press the start-stop button to ignite; 3. Release the foot brake and warm up the car while stationary; 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. Then, according to road conditions, steadily press the accelerator to increase speed and drive safely. The Sylphy is a compact car under Dongfeng Nissan, with dimensions of 4641 mm in length, 1815 mm in width, and 1450 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2712 mm. In terms of suspension, the Sylphy features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
I was a bit nervous when I first drove the Sylphy, but the steps are actually quite simple. First, sit in the driver's seat, adjust the seat and rearview mirrors, and fasten the seatbelt. For the key-start version, insert the key into the ignition switch, press the brake pedal firmly, turn the key to the start position, and release it once you hear the engine sound. After starting, check the dashboard to ensure no warning lights are on, then shift into D or R gear to begin driving. Don’t forget to confirm the gear is in P before starting—it’s safer. Beginners often forget to press the brake, causing startup failure, but the Sylphy has a warning sound to remind you to press it firmly. After starting, don’t accelerate immediately; wait half a minute for the engine to stabilize at idle to reduce wear. If the engine doesn’t start smoothly, avoid continuous attempts—pause for a few seconds before trying again to prevent damaging the starter motor.
