How to Start a Haval Big Dog?
3 Answers
For the traditional key start method, fully depress the brake pedal, insert the key and turn it to the second position, which is the START position. Hold for two seconds and then release your hand. Generally, the engine will start smoothly. In winter, it is recommended to warm up the car. Release the foot brake and let the engine idle to reach the operating temperature as quickly as possible. Press the foot brake again, shift to D gear, and release the handbrake. Slowly lift your right foot off the brake pedal, allowing the speed to gradually increase, and then enter the correct lane as soon as possible.
As a newbie who just bought a Haval Big Dog, I was a little excited during my first startup! The steps are actually quite simple: First, sit in the driver's seat, make sure the doors are closed, and most importantly, fasten the seatbelt. Then, press the brake pedal firmly with your right foot—this is essential, or the car won't respond when you press the start button. Next, hold down the circular start button on the center console, and you'll hear the engine roar to life. After starting, check the indicator lights on the dashboard, such as fuel level and coolant temperature, to ensure everything is normal. I like to wait a few seconds in cold weather for the RPM to stabilize before driving to avoid engine wear. The whole process takes less than a minute, but beginners might forget to press the brake, so a few practice runs will make it second nature. The smart key can stay in your pocket—it's automatically detected, which is super convenient. After startup, don’t rush to accelerate; ease into the throttle for safety first.
As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, starting a Haval Big Dog is second nature to me. Sit firmly in the seat, press the brake pedal hard with your right foot, quickly press the start button with your left hand, and the car starts. The whole process is smooth, and if parked on a slope, pressing the brake prevents rolling. Trouble starting? Just check the key battery or car battery connections. I usually let the car idle for a few seconds after starting, checking if the coolant temperature light is normal, avoiding revving the engine in cold weather. Years of experience tell me not to ignore the surroundings when starting, ensuring the gear is properly engaged before moving off. Regular maintenance of the electronic system is essential to prevent start button failures. Technology has advanced, but mastering the basics remains crucial.
