It would seem that starting a car, including a Ford Focus, is the easiest thing for a driver to do. However, you must clearly know the sequence of actions and adhere to them exactly. Especially if you are just learning to drive.
It is necessary
- - car;
- - calmness and absolute concentration.
Instructions
Step 1
Insert the key into the ignition switch. Make sure that nothing is hindering the start of the movement, even if you just want to start your car. When you get behind the wheel, even just to sit, you must be fully prepared to start driving.
Step 2
Regardless of what type of gearbox your Focus has, make sure the shift lever is in the neutral position.
Step 3
Move the key to the engine start position. Keep it in this position until the moment when the engine "starts". This will be understood by the characteristic smooth operation and specific noise and vibration in the cabin.
Step 4
When starting a cold engine, especially at low temperatures outside, turn the key to the position when all electrical systems of the vehicle are working. Turn on airflow and ventilation. This will slightly "cheer up" the engine starting system and supplying the fuel mixture to the cylinders. This will make starting easier and more painless for your Ford Focus.
Step 5
If your car stalls while driving directly on the road, then immediately shift the gear lever to neutral. If you have a mechanical box, squeeze the clutch. Start the engine with the ignition key and keep driving. Starting the engine in a mode other than neutral or moving the lever to other positions can cause serious problems in the transmission system or gearbox.
