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.

What do the gear letters on a car represent?

The following explains the meanings of the gear letters in a car: 1. P stands for Park, generally used when parking and turning off the engine; 2. N stands for Neutral, typically used for short stops, such as waiting at a traffic light; 3. L stands for Low gear, also known as the climbing gear, which is equivalent to the 1st gear in a manual transmission and is used when climbing hills; 4. D stands for Drive, used when moving forward, and is the most frequently used gear; 5. S stands for Sport, referred to as Sport mode in many models. Engaging the S gear keeps the engine at higher RPMs, increasing torque output for greater power, commonly used when overtaking.

What Causes a Truck to Pull to One Side When Braking?

The reasons for braking deviation are as follows: 1. Uneven braking force on the left and right sides of the same axle: Different clearances between the rear brake shoes and drums on each side can cause asynchronous braking, or variations in contact area can also lead to uneven braking force. If this occurs, adjust the left and right brake clearances according to specifications or resurface the contact area of the brake shoes. 2. Different braking torque on the left and right sides of the same axle: This results in one-sided braking. Common causes include leaking brake wheel cylinders, rusted pistons, oil-contaminated drum brake shoes, or differing surface roughness between brake discs and pads or drums and shoes. Inspect and rectify these issues as needed. 3. Uneven tire pressure, tread patterns, or wear levels on both sides: This can cause the actual rolling radius of the wheels to differ, leading to unequal straight-line travel distances. In such cases, the vehicle may pull to one side even when not braking. 4. Improper body repair on a previously damaged vehicle resulting in unequal wheelbase on both sides: Suspension components such as uneven or failed shock absorber springs, loose suspension ball joints, or deformed connecting rods can interfere with each other during braking, causing the vehicle to pull to one side. Additionally, incorrect wheel alignment can also lead to this phenomenon.

What to Do When the Electronic Parking Brake Fails?

Electronic Parking Brake failure can be resolved by resetting the electronic parking brake: turn on the car key, press the foot brake, then hold down the electronic handbrake for 5 seconds and subsequently pull up the electronic handbrake for 5 seconds. This will complete the initialization and reset of the electronic handbrake. Below is more information about the parking brake: 1. The parking brake, commonly referred to as the manual brake or handbrake, is typically installed in motor vehicles. The common handbrake is usually positioned where the driver's right hand naturally falls, making it easy to use. 2. The function of the parking brake is to stabilize the vehicle after it has come to a stop, preventing accidents caused by the vehicle rolling on sloping roads.
