What is the method to start an automatic transmission engine?
2 Answers
Automatic transmission engine starting method 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 to start the engine. The gears of an automatic transmission are: 1. D gear refers to the drive gear; 2. R gear refers to the reverse gear; 3. P gear refers to the parking gear; 4. L gear refers to the low-speed gear; 5. N gear refers to the neutral gear; 6. W gear refers to the snow/rain gear; 7. S gear refers to the sport mode driving gear. An automatic transmission car is: while driving, the driver operates the accelerator pedal as needed during the driving process, and it can automatically shift into different gears according to the engine load and the vehicle's operating conditions.
Starting my automatic car is quite simple. First, shift the gear to P (Park), firmly press the brake pedal, and then ignite the engine: if using a key, turn it clockwise to the start position and release immediately once the engine starts; for push-button start, hold it for a second or two until the engine runs. Never skip this step, as many beginners try to start the car without pressing the brake or mistakenly leaving it in D (Drive), which can result in no response from the car or even damage the system. After starting, don’t immediately stomp on the accelerator—let the engine idle for a few seconds to allow the oil to circulate, and wait a bit longer in cold winter starts until the temperature gauge moves before driving. Regularly check the battery voltage and maintain the ignition system to ensure good connections, preventing startup failures and ensuring a safe and worry-free trip every time.
