You want to set off in an automatic car (hydraulic converter). What must you know?

When setting off in an automatic car with a hydraulic converter, you should keep your foot on the brake (service brake) when shifting the selector lever. This is because automatic cars can start to move as soon as you select a driving gear, even without pressing the accelerator. You do not need to turn off the engine or rev it strongly to prevent stalling. Modern automatics are designed to avoid stalling on their own. Always remember: hold the brakes when changing gears to maintain control and prevent the car from moving unintentionally.
