Automatic transmission car starting method is: 1. Turn the ignition key to the power position; 2. Press the foot brake and shift the gear from P to N; 3. Release the foot brake and start the engine; 4. Warm up the car while stationary; 5. Press the foot brake, shift the gear from N to D, and release the handbrake; 6. Slowly release the foot brake and gently press the accelerator to start smoothly. Precautions for shifting gears in an automatic transmission car: 1. Do not press the accelerator pedal when shifting gears; 2. Do not immediately press the accelerator pedal hard after shifting into gear; 3. The vehicle can only be started in P or N gear; 4. The gear lever must be pressed with the brake when shifting out of P gear; 5. Do not shift into N gear while driving to coast; 6. Do not push into P gear while the car is moving; 7. When changing driving direction, switching between D and R gears must be done after the vehicle has come to a complete stop; 8. Placing the gear in N while driving prevents the oil pump from supplying oil normally for lubrication, which can cause the internal components of the transmission to overheat and become damaged.

As someone who loves chatting about cars with friends, starting an automatic transmission car is really quite easy. Sit in the driver's seat, firmly press the brake pedal to ensure the car won't move, and make sure the gear is in P or N position. Then start the engine and wait for it to run smoothly before proceeding. Shift to D (Drive) gear, slowly release the brake pedal, and the car will begin to coast forward. Gently press the accelerator according to road conditions. Remember one important thing: never start the engine in D gear as it may damage the transmission. When parking, select P gear to lock the wheels and prevent rolling. I also recommend regularly checking tire and brake conditions as they affect smooth starts. New drivers can practice in open areas to build confidence before handling daily driving situations, including using the handbrake for reversing or small inclines - it's both safe and convenient.
