Automatic transmission car with one-button start steps are: 1. After the driver sits in the driver's seat, press the start button, at this time the ACC light turns on, then press the start button again, the vehicle will perform a self-check; 2. Step on the brake, press the one-button start to ignite and start the car; 3. Release the foot brake, you can choose to warm up the car in place; 4. Step on the foot brake again, shift to D gear, release the handbrake; 5. Slowly release the foot brake, gently press the accelerator pedal, and the start is completed. The gears of an automatic transmission are: 1. P gear is the parking gear, start gear; 2. R gear is the reverse gear; 3. N gear is the neutral gear; 4. D gear is the drive gear; 5.

Oh, I was all thumbs the first time I drove a keyless start car too. Here's the correct procedure: After getting in, don't step on the brake immediately. Press the start button twice to power up the car for self-check - you'll see all sorts of dashboard lights flashing. Wait until the airbag and oil pressure warning lights go off, then firmly press the brake pedal with your right foot. Now you can hold the start button until the engine roars to life. Remember to shift the gear lever below the steering wheel to D mode - never rev the engine in P mode! When releasing the handbrake, double-check the dashboard indicators. Finally, gently release the brake pedal to move smoothly. For parking, reverse the process: shift to P mode after the car comes to a complete stop before turning off the engine, otherwise you might damage the transmission.

Actually, starting an automatic transmission car can be summarized in eight words: press brake, ignite, shift gear, and go. To be more specific: 1. Keep the key in your pocket, directly open the door and sit inside without inserting it into the ignition slot; 2. Firmly press the brake pedal all the way down without hesitation, and hold the start button until the engine sound is heard; 3. After the LCD dashboard displays READY, move the electronic gear lever to D (Drive) position; 4. Use your right hand to release the electronic parking brake, then slowly release the brake pedal to move off. Note that the brake may slip on rainy days, so press it a couple more times to remove moisture. When starting on a slope, remember to engage the parking brake before shifting gears to prevent rolling back.

Let me teach you a mnemonic: Sit, step, start, shift, release, and lift gently. First, adjust the seat and mirrors properly upon entering the car, and fastening the seatbelt is a must. Then, press the brake pedal all the way down with your right foot and hold the ignition button for two to three seconds to start the engine. Wait until the dashboard self-check is complete with no warning lights on. Use your right hand to move the gear lever to the D (Drive) position. Next, release the electronic parking brake button, check the surrounding road conditions through the windows, and finally, ease off the brake pedal as if stepping on an egg to start the car smoothly. The most crucial part of the whole process is to firmly press the brake before ignition.
