The vehicle is equipped with a one-key start function. The doors feature sensor-based locks that automatically unlock when the key is detected nearby. With the key on your person, first press the brake pedal. After starting the vehicle, you can shift gears by moving the gear selector. Press the one-key start button while holding the brake pedal to start the vehicle. The vehicle will power on and start only after sensing the key. Ensure the vehicle is stationary by pressing the brake, shift to N (Neutral), engage the parking brake, shift to P (Park), and then release the brake.

I just started driving the WM EX5 not long ago, and starting this electric vehicle is quite simple. After unlocking the car door and sitting in the driver's seat, keep your foot on the brake pedal without moving, then press the start button on the right side of the steering wheel—the dashboard will light up, indicating the vehicle is ready to drive. Shutting it down is just as easy: after parking, shift into P mode, press the start button again, and the car will power off completely—just lock the door and leave. The whole process is quick and quiet, with no engine noise. In daily use, I’ve found it best to check the remaining battery level when starting to avoid issues with low charge. After shutting down, I habitually check the dashboard to confirm it’s fully powered off, preventing accidental operations. This smart design of electric vehicles is much more convenient than traditional gas cars, eliminating the need to turn a key and making life easier. After a month of driving, I genuinely recommend it to urban commuters—once you get used to it, it’s very user-friendly.

Drivers accustomed to gasoline cars need some adaptation when switching to the WM EX5. To start, firmly press the brake pedal and lightly press the central control button—the vehicle will enter ready mode with all dashboard lights illuminated. To turn off, press the same button once, or simply lock the doors after parking for automatic shutdown, which is convenient. For safety, ensure your foot is on the brake before starting to prevent rolling; after turning off, remember to shift to P (Park) to avoid accidental starts. From my years of driving experience, the biggest differences from gasoline cars are: no engine noise upon starting, but faster response; instant quietness and energy savings when shutting down. Key points to note: difficulty starting when the battery is in poor condition, so maintain regular servicing. In short, it’s simple but requires attention to details.

As a family car owner, driving the WM EX5 to pick up and drop off kids is worry-free. Starting: Sit down, press the brake, and push the button to start. Shutting down: Press the button to turn off. Just one or two steps to complete. Daily driving tips for energy saving: For example, avoid stomping on the accelerator when starting, and turn off the lights after shutting down to save power.

For tech enthusiasts, the WM EX5 starts by pressing the brake and the button, with the smart system waking up for confirmation via the APP or key sensing. To turn it off, press the button or use the phone to shut it down. Interestingly, energy management begins the moment it starts, with relevant battery temperature displayed on the screen.
