What is the correct starting method for an electronic gear shift car?
2 Answers
Here are the steps for starting an automatic transmission car: 1. Turn the ignition key to the second position, to the power-on position, for automatic detection, for at least 6 seconds or more. 2. Press the foot brake and shift the gear from P to N. 3. Release the foot brake and turn the ignition key to the start position to ignite the engine. 4. After prolonged parking, it is recommended to warm up the car for 1-2 minutes while stationary. 5. Press the foot brake, shift the gear from N to D, and release the handbrake. 6. Slowly release the foot brake to start moving. Here are the precautions to note when starting: 1. Press the brake pedal before shifting gears and check if the gear lever position is correct. 2. When starting over bumps or steps, press the brake pedal with your right foot, and while the car is stationary, slightly release the right foot and press the accelerator pedal.
I've been driving an electronic gear shift car for several years and found the correct starting method is quite simple, but the key is not to skip steps. First, ensure the gear is in P (Park) when stopping - otherwise, the car simply won't start. Then sit properly, fasten your seatbelt, and firmly press the brake pedal - this step absolutely cannot be skipped because the electronic control system requires the brake signal to respond. After starting the engine or powering on, gently move the gear lever or press the button to D (Drive) position. Don't rush to press the accelerator heavily at this point; slowly release the brake to let the car move forward gently. Pay attention to the side and rearview mirrors to confirm there are no pedestrians or vehicles around before accelerating. I've emphasized this method since teaching my child to drive to avoid sudden movement risks. The advantage of electronic gear shifts is their foolproof operation, but developing good habits ensures greater safety on slopes or in congested traffic. Remember to regularly check the brake system to prevent malfunctions. In summary: press brake, shift to D, release brake to start - a seamless but careful process.
