The method for starting an automatic transmission car is as follows: 1. After the driver sits in the driver's seat, press the start button once. At this point, the ACC light will turn on. Then press it once more for the vehicle to perform a self-check. 2. Depress the brake pedal and press the start button again to ignite and start the engine. 3. Release the foot brake and allow the car to warm up in place. The duration can vary depending on the environment, specifically by observing the water temperature gauge on the dashboard. When the water temperature reaches and stabilizes at around 90 degrees, it indicates that the warm-up is complete. 4. Depress the brake pedal again, shift to D (Drive) gear, and release the handbrake. For an electronic handbrake, simply press the button briefly. Before starting, check the road conditions clearly through the rearview mirror to ensure it's safe to proceed. Also, sound the horn and turn on the turn signal to alert other vehicles and pedestrians. 5. Gradually release the foot brake to start moving. After starting, quickly merge into the road and drive at the prescribed speed. 6. Depending on road conditions, smoothly press the accelerator to increase speed and drive safely.

Starting an automatic transmission car is actually quite simple, and this is how I do it every day for my commute. After getting into the car, don't rush to start the engine. First, place your foot firmly on the brake pedal and press the start button. Then, hold down the unlock button on the gear lever and shift it to the D (Drive) position—the dashboard will display the D gear indicator. When releasing the handbrake, make sure the car is on level ground to prevent rolling. Before moving, quickly check the rearview mirror and blind spots—safety comes first. Gradually release the brake pedal, and the car will start moving forward on its own. Avoid pressing the accelerator too hard at first, as this may cause the car to jerk forward and startle passengers in the back. Once you get used to it, you'll find that starting an automatic transmission car is much easier than a manual one, and your legs won't get tired even in heavy traffic.

Should Rear Passengers Fasten Seat Belts on Highways?

Rear passengers should fasten seat belts on highways. Below are specific details about rear seat belt buckles in cars: 1. Rear seat belt buckles in cars can protect passengers' safety, especially on highways where rear passengers need to fasten seat belts. A seat belt buckle is a device that can be inserted into the car's seat belt socket, preventing the seat belt alarm from sounding when the driver does not fasten the seat belt. These buckles come in a variety of designs. 2. Seat belts are the only guarantee of a driver's safety and represent an active safety measure. Even when a car is moving at a relatively slow speed, in the event of a collision or emergency braking, the resulting inertia, though relatively small, is still enough to prevent drivers and passengers from controlling their bodies, leading to collisions with hard components such as the steering wheel and windshield, causing bodily harm.

Is it still necessary to affix the annual vehicle inspection sticker?

It is not necessary to affix the annual vehicle inspection sticker. Because electronic annual inspection labels have been implemented nationwide, vehicle owners can check, download, and use the electronic inspection certificate online. The electronic inspection certificate has the same effect as the paper certificate. It is recommended that vehicle owners download and save the electronic certificate on their mobile phones after receiving it, so that it can be presented even when the phone is offline. Relevant information about vehicle annual inspection is as follows: Introduction: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory inspection for every vehicle that has obtained an official license plate and registration certificate. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety". Function: Vehicle annual inspection can promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, urge the strengthening of vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.

What are the differences between National 5 and National 6 emission standards for passenger cars?

The differences between National 5 and National 6 emission standards for passenger cars lie in their control levels, release dates, and issuing authorities. Here are the specific differences between National 5 and National 6 emission standards for passenger cars: Different control levels: The emission control level of National 5 standard is equivalent to the European Phase 5 emission standard currently in implementation. The National 6 standard for motor vehicle pollutant emissions is formulated to prevent environmental pollution caused by exhaust emissions from compression-ignition and gas-fueled spark-ignition engine vehicles, protect the ecological environment, and safeguard human health. Different release dates: The National 5 standard was released on September 17, 2013. The National 6 standard for motor vehicle pollutant emissions was released on June 22, 2018 (for heavy-duty diesel vehicles). Different issuing authorities: The National 5 standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection. The National 6 standard for motor vehicle pollutant emissions was jointly issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.

How is speeding determined?

Determination of speeding is based on: Motor vehicles driving on the road must not exceed the speed indicated by speed limit signs or markings. On roads without speed limit signs or markings, motor vehicles must not exceed the following maximum driving speeds. Relevant information about speed limits is as follows: Introduction to speed limits: Speed limits typically refer to the regulation of driving speeds within a certain numerical range over a specified length of road. Purpose of speed limits: The main purpose is to pre-warn drivers to reasonably control their speed in subsequent sections of the road ahead, prevent the dangers of speeding, and ensure driving safety. Speed limits are an indispensable and most important part of road transportation safety.

How Many Years Until a Gasoline Pickup Truck is Scrapped?

In China, gasoline pickup trucks are required to be scrapped after 10 years, with a maximum limit of 15 years. Below is relevant information about mandatory vehicle scrapping: Reaching the service life: Reaching the stipulated scrapping service life. Failing to meet safety technical standards: After repair and adjustment, the vehicle still does not meet the national safety technical standards for in-use vehicles. Emissions or noise: After repair, adjustment, or adoption of control technology, the vehicle's atmospheric pollutant emissions or noise still do not meet national standards for in-use vehicles. Failing three consecutive inspection cycles: Failing to obtain the vehicle inspection qualification mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection validity period.

What to Do If Too Much Antifreeze Is Added?

If too much antifreeze is added, you can directly use a syringe to extract the excess antifreeze or use absorbent paper towels to soak it up until the liquid level is below the maximum mark (MAX). Method for Replacing Antifreeze: Before completely replacing the antifreeze, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes, with a focus on the five-way hose. The five-way hose is named for its five connection points to various parts, as antifreeze flows through it and is distributed to different sections of the car to function. If there is any antifreeze leakage in this area, replace the hose or re-secure the connections as needed. Drain the old antifreeze, then flush the fluid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the antifreeze reservoir, then continue filling the reservoir to allow water to flow continuously through the engine cooling system. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water flowing out of the reservoir may appear slightly pinkish. Continue adding clean water until the outflow is clear. Note: Remember to disconnect the heater hose and drain the water from the heater core. After draining for about an hour, add the new antifreeze through the radiator hose—this allows the antifreeze to flow quickly into the radiator. Then, add another bottle of antifreeze to the reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. As the cooling system expels some air, the liquid level will drop. Top up the antifreeze to the "MAX" mark on the reservoir.
