Steps to start the Buick Verano: First, press the brake pedal, start the engine, shift into D gear, and release the brake pedal to begin moving. When starting, don't forget to release the handbrake. For automatic transmission models, before starting the engine, make sure the gear is in P position and the brake pedal is pressed. Many automatic transmission models cannot start the engine if the brake pedal is not pressed or the gear is not in P position. The Buick Verano is a mid-size sports sedan under SAIC-GM Buick, with dimensions of 4723mm in length, 1802mm in width, and 1466mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. In terms of appearance, the Buick Verano features a winged chrome grille, winged LED automatic sensing headlights, winged LED taillights, 17-inch ten-spoke two-tone aluminum alloy sports wheels, and a fastback roof.

Every time I start my Buick Verano, I habitually press the brake pedal first and confirm the gear is in the P position. Then I take out the smart key and press the unlock button, sit in the driver's seat to adjust the seat and rearview mirrors. At this time, I keep my right foot on the brake and press the ignition button directly to start the engine, listening to the smooth sound of the engine running and observing whether the dashboard indicator lights turn off normally. Special attention should be paid to not rushing to turn on the heater during cold starts in winter; wait half a minute for the RPM to stabilize. The 2023 Verano now also features remote start functionality, which is particularly useful in summer for turning on the air conditioning in advance via the mobile app. After starting, don't drive off immediately; first check the tire pressure monitoring and fuel gauge display.

To start this car, I always let the system perform a self-check first: press the ignition button without stepping on the brake to enter the power-on mode, and watch the dashboard warning lights illuminate and then turn off. Next, firmly press the brake pedal while holding down the electronic parking brake button to release the parking state, and finally press the ignition switch steadily. A little trick is that when the key battery is low, placing it against the sensing area on the right side of the steering wheel allows for an emergency start. After starting, I usually turn on the auto-hold system, which automatically applies the brakes when stopping at a red light. Note that the auto start-stop function is enabled by default; to turn it off, you need to manually disable it in the vehicle control settings on the central display screen.

After approaching the Buick Verano with the key for automatic unlocking, directly sit in the driver's seat. Press the brake pedal firmly to ensure it's fully depressed, then press the one-touch start button to ignite the engine. After starting, wait for the tachometer to drop to around 1,000 RPM before shifting gears to avoid excessive engine load. Special reminder: Pay attention to the maintenance alerts and tire pressure data displayed on the dashboard. If you encounter difficulty starting the engine, it may be due to the brake not being fully pressed or the key fob battery being depleted.
