For starting an automatic transmission car, first turn on the power, then shift to N (Neutral) gear and ignite the engine, and finally shift to D (Drive) gear to start moving forward. Correct Method for Starting an Automatic Transmission Car: To start an automatic transmission car, first turn on the power, then shift to N (Neutral) gear and ignite the engine, and finally shift to D (Drive) gear to start moving forward. This method avoids passing through R (Reverse) gear from P (Park) while the engine is running, thus preventing potential damage to the transmission. This operation is the least likely to cause damage to the transmission. Steps for Starting an Automatic Transmission Car: Turn the ignition key to the second position (power mode) to allow the car's computer system to perform a self-check for at least 6 seconds. Press the foot brake and shift the gear from P (Park) to N (Neutral). Release the foot brake and turn the ignition key to the start position to ignite the engine. After prolonged parking, it is recommended to warm up the engine for 1-2 minutes. Press the foot brake and shift the gear from N (Neutral) to D (Drive), then release the handbrake (for electronic handbrakes, simply press the button briefly). Slowly release the foot brake to start moving.
