How To Start A Car With An Automatic Transmission (Step-By-Step Tutorial)

In this video, I show you how to start a car with an automatic transmission. It may seem like basic car knowledge for someone that has been driving for many years; however, this is crucial information for a beginner driver or someone that wants to get their license soon. I outline all of the instructions in a step-by-step manner.

Y'all salty. I needed this because I always start it wrong

I've been a mechanic for 10 years and you missed a step. Turn the key to the "on" position, then wait a couple seconds. I usually count 3 dings of the seat belt warning. This let fuel get to the motor and get under pressure as it needs since every car is now fuel injected. Also results in a smoother start. Just "turning it on" will result in fouled spark plugs which will require a $150 tune up sooner than it should be.

this video is intended for beginners and actually it's very informative in term of the safety of the car battery and engine...Please no sarcasm and dumb comments unless your just renting your car that's why u don't care...

there’s a lot of people hating but i’m taking drivers ed now with an older car and i’ve only ever driven cars with button starts before, so nobody ever taught me how to start it. this really helps

Driving School don't teach you all this

[OneEyedWinker]

Honestly really helpful. I kept killing batteries and starters by holding it too long. Never knew to watch the rpms thank you

First make sure your shifter is on the Park position then step on the brake, and finally switch on the ignition using your key!

"If your key is retractable, flip it out" - Excellent advice!

This actually helped me. Thank you. Ignore the salty commenters.

Basically basic but probably helped some beginners!

[smccookie]

Thank you for explaining this, and about when to when to stop turning the key when the meter goes up, you're the only one that explains this. When my bro tried to teach me to drive 2 years ago, he bit my head off when I was turning the key for too long but didn't explain when you stop turning the key.
