What is the correct ignition sequence for an automatic transmission?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission cars have the correct ignition and starting sequence as follows: ignition, gear adjustment, engine start, moving off, and accelerating. Below are some precautions for driving an automatic transmission car: Regular roads: There are no specific requirements for the car's gear; you can drive normally by keeping it in D (Drive) mode. Parking: When the engine stops running, you need to shift the gear to P (Park) to indicate that the car is no longer in use. Some cars require shifting to P mode to remove the key. Reversing: After pressing the brake and ensuring the car has completely stopped moving forward, you can shift to R (Reverse) mode. Gently releasing the brake will allow the car to move backward. Waiting at a stop or driving in congested traffic: You can shift to N (Neutral) mode. Highways or when overtaking at high speeds: You can shift to S (Sport) mode. S mode is the car's sport mode, allowing free gear changes similar to D mode. You can also choose S mode when climbing hills, as this gear provides the maximum torque output and acceleration.
