How to Start a XPeng Car?
3 Answers
Insert the key and turn it to the NO position, then wait for the car's computer system to start. Shift the car from the parking gear (P gear) to the neutral gear (N gear). Turn the key clockwise to the START position to ignite, and release the key once you hear the engine working sound. After the engine starts, do not rush to drive; allow the engine to warm up, which will help extend its lifespan. Once the engine has warmed up, press the brake, shift the gear to drive, and begin normal driving.
I've been driving my XPeng car for several months, and the startup process is really simple. After getting in the car, first make sure the key is on you or the mobile app is properly connected, then press the brake pedal for a few seconds. Next, press the circular start button near the steering wheel, and the car will immediately wake up. The dashboard lights up displaying the remaining battery level and self-check information, and the whole process takes less than half a minute. Sometimes I start it remotely via the app, especially in summer when I can turn on the air conditioning in advance to cool down. If it's cold, the system automatically preheats the battery for a faster start. After starting, I just set the navigation and head out. I find this small feature particularly practical and time-saving, and it also reduces the frustration of waiting. Every time I go out, I feel much more relaxed because everything goes smoothly without delay.
As someone with some automotive technical knowledge, I find XPENG's startup design quite ingenious. Pressing the brake pedal after entering the vehicle confirms the driver's presence, with sensors sending signals to the electronic control unit. Pressing the start button then activates the high-voltage battery system to supply power. The entire process relies on wireless communication technologies like Bluetooth or NFC. If the key fob battery is low, the mobile app can take over the startup procedure. I recommend regularly checking for app updates and monitoring key fob battery life to ensure system stability. Additionally, the system intelligently detects battery conditions and automatically preheats in cold weather to prevent malfunctions. Understanding these fundamental principles helps me operate the vehicle more safely and reduces unexpected issues.
