The method for starting an automatic transmission car is: 1. Turn the ignition key to the power position; 2. Press the foot brake and shift the gear from P to N; 3. Release the foot brake and start the engine; 4. Warm up the car while stationary; 5. Press the foot brake, shift the gear from N to D, and release the handbrake; 6. Slowly release the foot brake and gently press the accelerator to start smoothly. An automatic transmission car refers to a vehicle where the driver does not need to manually shift gears, as the car automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. The gears in an automatic transmission car include: 1. P for Park; 2. R for Reverse; 3. N for Neutral; 4. D for Drive; 5. M for Manual mode; 6. L for Low gear; 7. S for Sport mode.
Starting an automatic transmission car is quite simple. Each time I sit in the driver's seat, adjust the seat and rearview mirror position to ensure a clear view, and then fasten the seat belt. I press the brake pedal, turn the key or push the start button to ignite the engine. After the engine is running, I check that the dashboard indicators are normal, then shift to the D gear. Slowly releasing the brake, the car will automatically move forward. At this point, I gently press the accelerator pedal to smoothly accelerate onto the road. If the car has an electronic parking brake or auto-hold function, I make sure it's disengaged before starting to avoid getting stuck. In winter, I warm up the engine for a few dozen seconds to allow the oil to lubricate properly and reduce wear. The key to the entire operation is caution. When starting, I always check the mirrors for pedestrians or other vehicles. Developing good habits can prevent many accidents and also extend the car's lifespan.
