What are the steps for driving an automatic transmission car?

Here are the steps for driving an automatic transmission car: 1. For an automatic transmission vehicle, to start the engine, the gear must be placed in N (Neutral) or P (Park) position. The engine cannot start normally if placed in other gear positions. 2. After starting the engine, wait a few seconds before shifting gears to allow the transmission to be fully lubricated. Then, press the brake pedal, shift to the correct gear, and slowly release the brake pedal to start the vehicle normally. 3. When driving on regular roads, keep the gear selector in D (Drive) position. Gradually increase the throttle; avoid sudden acceleration unless necessary. When driving in D gear, continuously pressing the accelerator does not necessarily shift to a higher gear. On the contrary, if the throttle opening is too large, it may result in downshifting. The correct operation is to release the accelerator to upshift in advance once the RPM reaches a certain value, and press the accelerator to downshift in advance. 4. For a brief stop (not exceeding 3 minutes), you can place the gear in N (Neutral) position, engage the handbrake, and release the foot brake to reduce driving fatigue. For long-term parking, shift to P (Park) position and engage the handbrake.
