proper way of starting a automatic car?

[sakurayui]

hello everyone,tanong ko lang po sa mga matatagal na driver at automatic ang gamit..pag po ba ng start kayo ng car inaapakan po ba muna ang brake bago mg starttng engine.or pede start na lang engine ng hindi inaapakan ang brake...masisira po ba sasakyan pag di muna inapakan brake?
confusing lang po..im new driver...thanks

New AT cars won't crank the starter if you dont step on the brakes, this has been the standard safety feature and the best practice to do for starting an AT.

Some MT''s nowadays use similar safety feature, u cant crank the starter if you dont step on the clutch.

my 2010 car starts even w/out stepping on the brakes as long as the gear is in P (park) position.

matagal na yan sa M/T yun mga korean cars circa mga kia pride, ganyan na eh...tinatapakan muna clutch before mag start...

but to answer TS's question, its doesnt make any difference...first hinde nga mag start pag wala sa P yun shifter and hinde mo rin naman maaalis yun susi pag wala sa P, so in essence automatic nasa P before mo ma starrt

depende siguro sa design ng sasakyan. for the 2013 Toyota RAV4, eto nakalagay sa owner's manual.

Starting the engine
1. Check that the parking brake is set.
2. Check that the shift lever is set in P.
3. Firmly depress the brake pedal.
4. Turn the engine switch to the “START” position to start the engine.

pero sa Toyota Revo namin, i can start the engine without stepping on the brake pedal just as long as the shift lever is in P or N.

Depende talaga sa make ng car. Pero standard safety feature is to step on the brakes to assure the tranny is disconnected and wheels are braked - solution ng manufacturers sa mga makakalimutin.

Kahit driving school yan din ang tinuturo, limutan na ang lahat wag lang ang preno when starting and stopping the car.

The technical term is "safety interlock", wherein a certain process will not proceed until some safety features are established.

Most cars will start when the car is shifted in either Park or Neutral only.

[Retz]

Pag de susi, start na agad basta nsa Park position. Pero pag 'Push Start' need mo tapak sa brake.

[CVT]

Tama lahat ang sagot ninyo,- depende iyan sa sasakyan....

TS - whatever works for you,- there you go....

hindi mo mahugot ang susi pag nasa neutral in A/T, kailangan nasa Park talaga.

depende pa rin sa sasakyan. on our Revo, you can turn off the engine and pull out the key even at D pa lang.

Ako AT or MT ito ang ginagawa ko bago mag start ng car

1. iikutan ko ung car para tignan kung meron bang items/bagay bagay na pwede masagasaan pag mag move na ung car
1.1 check ko na din ung body kung meron new scratch baka meron sumalbahe sa car ko
1.2 visually check ko ung shape ng gulong kung me bukol (kulang sa hangin or damage)
1.3 open ko ung gate at visually check ko na wala akong mababanga or masasagasaan paglabas (private road kami at dead end, kaya normally ang tinitignan ko baka meron toys or basura na naiwan sa labas ng gate)

2. every saturday in addition bago mag start
2.1 open ko ung hood and visually check ko ung level ng oils, brakes, power steering fluid, water level, belts, battery terminal, and any other unusual thing or new on the engine bay.
2.2 using tyre presure gauge check ko ung presure of each tyre including reserve tyre.

3. uupo na ako sa driver seat at mag seat belt

4. ilagay ko na ung susi at ipihit hanga ON lang, para ma check ko kung ano ung mga umiilaw sa dashboard, check ko din ung angle ng mga side mirrors at rear view mirror. (AT ang car ko kaya naka P na ang shifter)

5. start na with observing the sound of the engine (for any new sound) and how long does it take to start (para happy naka AMARON na din ako )

6. close my eyes ang pray to God for safety, include ko na din sa prayers ko ung mga drivers na makakasalubong ko sa daan :2thumbsup:
6.1 since cold start, mataas ang rev ng engine kaya need to warm up to normalize, after my prayers normalize na ung rev ng engine

7. After praying, open ko ung drivers window (minimum), para madinig ko ung paligid ng car

8. step on the brakes and shift to D

9. ilabas ko na ung car sa garage at mag park just after passing our gate
9.1 put the gear in P, engage ko ung handbrake
9.2 close ko na ung window
9.3 now ko pa lang on ung blower ng aircon (AC still off)
9.4 labas ako ng car
9.5 tignan ko ung area ng garage particularly kung saan ako nakapark kung meron ba oil, water or any fluid marks
9.6 close the gate at sakay na ako ulit sa car
9.7 now ko pa lang on ung aircon, and ung car radio

10. enjoy the ride

ayos! detalyado. he he he. Ako, aside from above, since I have a pet dog, check ko muna sya na nasa crate, kasi kung hindi baka nasa ilalim at maipit pag umandar na. he he he. As everybody had said in general, it all depends on the make and design of the matic tranny. Majority of which, as a safety feature, is the initial P shifter position and the brake pedal depressed, handbrake engaged, before starting the engine.

re: Manilablock's post
parang pag nagha- hire/interview/test ako ng mga company drivers (for abroad).
kapag ang style ni kabayan eh sakay agad sa sasakyan na hindi man lang
dinaanan ang steps 1 and 2, siguradong bagsak na siya.
napaka-importante niyan... SAFETY FIRST 'ika nga.
nice post... "WAKE UP CALL"...

ps. ibinagsak ko man si kabayan sa trade test, pinapa- alalahanan ko naman siya.
there's a diiferent jungle out there... just be prepared...
the life you're protecting, may just be your own. buckle up!!!

[confused shoes]

I have owned three A/Ts of different makes and models. They won't start with their gears engaged. Kaya kahit ako nasa labas pa pinapaandar ko na. Yung isa kung A/T pag naka P naman at patay ang engine, hindi pwede ilipat ang shift. Kelangan paandarin mo muna.

I think nowadays, manufacturers have considered that some drivers may forget safety.

*Manilabloc: nice share.

if multi-user ang car at may nag-drive previously, i will add..

3.1 adjust seat position
3.2 adjust head rest position
3.3 adjust steering wheel position
