How to Start an XPeng Car?
2 Answers
Insert the key and turn it to the NO position, then wait for the car's computer system to start up. Shift the car from Park (P) to Neutral (N). Turn the key clockwise to the START position to ignite the engine, and release the key once you hear the engine running. After the engine starts, do not rush to drive; allow the engine to warm up, which helps prolong its lifespan. Once the engine is warmed up, press the brake, shift the gear to Drive (D), and begin normal driving.
I just bought an XPENG car, and the startup process is quite simple but involves many details. As an ordinary owner, I've gotten used to it now: First, when I approach the vehicle with the key or the mobile app, it automatically unlocks the doors without any button presses. After getting in and sitting down, I need to press the brake pedal, which is crucial because the start button won't respond otherwise. Then, I lightly press the circular start button next to the steering wheel, and the dashboard lights up, showing the READY status, while the air conditioning system starts running. Using the app to start the car is also very convenient, especially in winter for pre-warming the seats. The whole process takes less than 10 seconds, without the noise of a traditional engine. Occasionally, if the key runs out of battery, the app can save the day, ensuring I can always hit the road. I recommend new owners familiarize themselves with these steps first to avoid any confusion.
