The steps for a normal start of the 10th-generation Accord are: 1. Press the start button once, and after the ACC light turns on, press the start button again. At this point, the one-touch start button will turn green, and the vehicle will perform a self-check; 2. After the vehicle completes the self-check, press the brake and press the one-touch start button once more to start the vehicle. The 10th-generation Accord is a mid-size car launched by GAC Honda, with dimensions of 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, and 1449mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2830mm. The 10th-generation Accord is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine and a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with maximum horsepower of 194ps and 146ps, and maximum torque of 260nm and 175nm, respectively.
Last time I drove the 10th-generation Accord, before starting, I made it a habit to sit firmly and fasten the seatbelt, ensuring the handbrake was released. Then, I pressed the brake pedal firmly with my right foot, turned the key or pressed the push-start button to ignite the engine. After the vehicle started, I could hear a slight engine sound—if the auto start-stop function was on, it might not roar immediately. Once all the dashboard lights came on, I shifted the gear lever from P to D, making sure to fully press the brake pedal during this step. Then, I gradually released the brake pedal, allowing the car to glide naturally, and gently pressed the accelerator to start moving. The entire process should be smooth, avoiding sudden acceleration to prevent skidding, especially when starting on rainy days or slopes. It’s crucial to allow extra reaction time to check the rearview mirror and surroundings for safety.
I believe the key to starting the 10th-generation Accord safely is prioritizing safety. Upon first sitting in the driver's seat, I immediately adjust the seat and rearview mirror, fasten the seatbelt, and ensure comfort. Before starting the vehicle, it's essential to confirm that the brake pedal is firmly pressed to prevent any unintended rolling. After pressing the engine start button, wait for the engine to stabilize before shifting to D (Drive) gear. When starting off, avoid rushing to press the accelerator; instead, gradually release the brake to let the car move on its own. If the auto start-stop function interferes, it can be turned off. Throughout the process, remain vigilant of the road conditions ahead and behind, avoid distractions like checking your phone, and maintain a slow, steady speed until it's safe to accelerate.
The first time driving an Accord, starting is quite simple: get in, sit down, and fasten the seatbelt. Keep your right foot on the brake, then start the engine. Once it's running smoothly, shift the gear directly to D, release the brake, and gently press the accelerator to start moving. Be careful not to rush; a slow start is more comfortable.
