Turn the ignition key to the second position, to the power supply position, allowing the car's computer system to begin self-checking for at least 6 seconds or more. Shift gears, press the foot brake, release the handbrake, move the gear from N to D, and slowly release the handbrake to start smoothly.
Driving the BMW X6, the starting process is quite straightforward, and I find it very user-friendly for daily use. First, sit in the driver's seat and adjust the seat position, then securely fasten the seatbelt—this is crucial. Press the brake pedal firmly and push the start button to ignite the engine, confirming the startup by the sound. Next, shift the gear lever from Park to Drive, or to Reverse if backing up. The current gear will be displayed on the dashboard. Then, gradually release the brake pedal, and the vehicle will begin to glide. Once you feel it moving, gently press the accelerator to speed up—avoid pressing too hard to prevent jerky movements. The BMW X6's automatic transmission is smooth, ensuring a steady start without any shuddering. Every time I drive, I take a few seconds to check the rearview mirror and blind spots to ensure there are no pedestrians or obstacles. In rainy or snowy conditions, be extra cautious with the accelerator to minimize the risk of slipping. Developing this habit makes driving safer and more reassuring.
