What is the correct way to start a key-ignition car?

[LaIker]

Insert the car key and first turn it to the ON position, then pause and wait. At this time, the vehicle's self-diagnosis program will activate, and many icons on the dashboard will light up, such as the engine oil, brake, and ABS indicators. Wait until the flashing icons turn off before turning the key to the START position to ignite the engine. Here is some additional information: 1. The self-diagnosis is the vehicle's self-check function, which primarily reads internal faults. If any fault codes are detected, they will be displayed as warning lights on the dashboard after the self-check is completed to alert the driver. 2. If the car is started directly without allowing the self-diagnosis to complete, it can not only damage the battery and engine, disrupt electronic devices, but also pose significant safety risks. The self-diagnosis process typically takes 6-10 seconds, during which you can fasten your seatbelt and remind the front passenger to do the same before igniting the engine and starting slowly.
