Which of the following is not one of the steps for starting a vehicle?

To start a vehicle safely and correctly, it is important to follow a specific process that ensures the vehicle is ready for operation. The step that involves quickly releasing the key when the engine starts is not a recommended practice.

When starting a vehicle, the key should be turned until the engine starts, which allows the ignition to engage properly. Turning the key should be done in a manner that lets the starter engage for as long as necessary to start the engine without forcing it. Releasing the key too quickly can lead to an incomplete process or potential damage to the ignition system.

Successful starting of a vehicle involves ensuring the vehicle is in "park" to prevent it from moving unexpectedly, placing a foot on the brake pedal (rather than the accelerator) to control the vehicle's motion, and then turning the key or pressing the start button until the engine fires up. These steps prioritize both driver and passenger safety and support proper vehicle operation.
