What is the correct method to start a Volkswagen Tharu automatic transmission vehicle?
2 Answers
After the vehicle is normally started, press the brake pedal, move the gear lever to the D position, and press the button on the gear lever when shifting. Release the parking brake of the vehicle, slowly release the brake with your right foot, and the vehicle will move forward. Use the accelerator pedal to accelerate.
I've been driving for over a decade and find the Volkswagen Tharu's automatic transmission quite simple to start, with safety being the top priority. First, sit properly, fasten your seatbelt, and adjust the seat and rearview mirrors to ensure a clear view. Then, firmly press the brake pedal before starting the ignition. Once the engine is running, don't rush to shift gears. Check the dashboard for any warning lights, and only proceed to shift the gear lever from P to D while pressing the brake when everything is normal. At this point, don't release the brake suddenly—lightly lift your foot to let the car glide slowly, and once stable, gently press the accelerator to speed up. Especially when starting in parking lots or on slopes where the car is more prone to rolling, pay extra attention to pedestrians and other vehicles around. Remember, don't be hasty when starting; developing good habits can prevent many accidents and also reduce engine wear.
