how to start automatic gear cars
(OP)
I have bought a toyota premio car with automatic gears.I want to know if the car can be started when the battery is down.Normal gear cars can be started by pushing and the switch on.What do we do with these cars

A few 1960's-era cars with automatic transmissions could be push-started, but I don't think that any automatic tranny car more recent than that can be started that way.

Early automatics had two pumps; the second one was just for starting the engine by pushing the car. I think they were last sold in new cars in 1955.

I used that feature a couple of times in my folks' 1964 Dodge, though I think it had disappeared by the time they bought their '67 Dodge.
A little scary is that I still have the wet-copy duplicating machine pages from that service manual, and that they're still easily readable. Scarier still is that I could find it without much trouble.

Yes it means modern cars cannot be started that way.
