What are the steps to start a Volkswagen automatic transmission?

[AmirLynn]

Here are the steps to start a Volkswagen automatic transmission: 1. After sitting in the driver's seat, there is no need to press the brake pedal. Simply press the start button once, and the ACC light will turn on. Press it once more, and the vehicle will begin its self-check. It is recommended not to skip the self-check step during every cold start, though it can be skipped during a warm start. 2. Press the brake pedal and then press the start button again to ignite the engine. Under normal circumstances, the engine should start within 3 seconds of pressing the ignition switch. If the engine has difficulty starting, avoid frequent attempts; let the starter rest for a while after every 5 attempts to prevent burning it out. 3. Release the foot brake. You may choose to warm up the car while stationary. The duration can be determined by the environment, specifically by observing the water temperature gauge on the dashboard. When the water temperature reaches and stabilizes around 90 degrees, it indicates that the warm-up is complete. 4. Press the foot brake again, shift to D gear, and release the handbrake (for electronic handbrakes, simply press the button briefly). Before starting, check the road conditions clearly through the rearview mirror to ensure it is safe to proceed. Also, sound the horn and turn on the turn signal to alert other vehicles and pedestrians. 5. Slowly release the foot brake to start moving. After starting, quickly merge into the road and drive at the designated speed. 6. Depending on the road conditions, smoothly press the accelerator to speed up and drive safely.
