What does starting the car mean?

[DelOscar]

Starting the car is the fundamental technique and experience for driving safety. Steps for starting the car: Engage the handbrake (to prevent sliding); insert the key; turn on the power and perform a self-check for 5 seconds; press the foot brake; shift from P to N gear; start the engine and warm up for 15 seconds (during this time, fasten the seatbelt and adjust the rearview mirror); shift into D gear; release the handbrake; slowly release the foot brake; start moving. Precautions for starting the car: Carefully inspect the surroundings of the vehicle, paying attention to any obstacles under the car or around the body. Cold starts require warming up the engine, with the warm-up time depending on the temperature; generally, it is sufficient to start when the idle speed returns to normal. Always remember to fasten the seatbelt and check if the driver's seat and rearview mirror positions are appropriate; adjust them if necessary.
