How to Start a Volvo Car?
2 Answers
Volvo car starting method: First insert the key, turn on the power (without starting the engine), then press the brake pedal, shift to N gear, ignite the engine, shift from N gear to D gear, release the handbrake, lift the foot brake, and start moving. This method avoids the brief reverse impact on the transmission when starting in P gear and passing through R gear. Volvo is a famous Swedish luxury car brand, founded in Gothenburg, Sweden. Taking the Volvo S90 as an example: it is a mid-to-large-sized car launched by Volvo, with a length, width, and height of 5090mm, 1879mm, and 1450mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 3061mm. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 184kW, matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
First time using a Volvo car, I felt a little nervous, but starting it is actually not difficult. I usually sit in the driver's seat first, fasten the seat belt, and make sure my foot is on the brake pedal—this is the key to starting; the car won't move if you press the start button without stepping on the brake. Then, check that the gear shift is in the P position, especially for automatic transmission models. If it's a smart key system, the car will recognize the key as long as it's on you or in your pocket; just approach the steering wheel and press the START button directly to start the engine. Once you hear the sound and see the dashboard lights come on, it's done. For older key models, insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the start position. After starting, wait a few seconds for the air conditioning to begin working, or let the engine warm up in winter for stability. Don't rush to drive off; take a moment to adjust the rearview mirror or set up the navigation for added safety. The whole process takes just over a minute, and new drivers can get the hang of it by referring to the manual more often.
