1 Answers
The correct method to start an automatic transmission car with a foot brake is: 1. After the vehicle comes to a complete stop, shift the transmission to the neutral (N) position; 2. Depress the parking foot brake (this will engage the parking brake) and turn off the engine; 3. With the automatic transmission foot brake depressed, shift the transmission from the N position to the parking (P) position. Automatic transmission means there's no need to shift gears while driving, whereas manual transmission cars require timely gear shifting to change vehicle speed and engine torque. Automatic transmissions also include continuously variable transmission (CVT), electronic paddle shifters, and electronic gear lever shifting. There are three main types of transmissions: manual transmission, automatic transmission, and semi-automatic transmission.
