2. Standardized startup process (applicable to most fuel vehicles)
1.Preparation
• Adjust the seat and rearview mirror to the appropriate position
• Fasten your seat belt
• Make sure the gear is in P (automatic) or neutral (manual)
2.Key steps to start the vehicle

5. Expert advice
According to the latest technical bulletin of the Society of Automotive Engineers:
• Modern EFI engines do not need to warm up the car for a long time and can run at low speed in 30 seconds after starting.
• Vehicles equipped with automatic start-stop function can manually turn off the function in traffic jams
• Drive long distances (more than 20 kilometers) at least once a month to keep the battery active
6. Differences in starting new energy vehicles
The starting process of pure electric vehicles is simpler:
1. Enter the car with the key
2. Press the brake and press the start button
3. Just shift gears and start driving
*Note: There is no need to wait for "heating the car", but in low temperature environments it is recommended to preheat the battery first
It can be seen from the above structured data that the correct vehicle starting method needs to combine the characteristics of the vehicle model and environmental factors. It is recommended that drivers read the vehicle manual carefully and develop good starting habits, which can not only extend the life of the vehicle but also ensure driving safety.
