How to Start the Qoros 3?
3 Answers
Starting steps for the Qoros 3: 1. Start the vehicle by pressing the one-touch start button; 2. Shift into D gear; 3. Release the handbrake; 4. After releasing the handbrake, move your right foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal, gently press the accelerator, and the vehicle will start successfully. In terms of body dimensions, the Qoros 3 measures 4615 mm in length, 1839 mm in width, and 1445 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2690 mm. Regarding configurations, the Qoros 3 comes standard with an 8-inch capacitive touchscreen, an onboard Bluetooth system, a USB port that supports iPad playback, and an AUX audio input port. The top-of-the-line 1.6T dual-clutch Zhizhen model also features an electric sunroof, a rearview camera with dynamic reversing guide lines, and ultrasonic distance measurement.
When I first drove the Qoros 3, I also pondered the starting procedure. After sitting in the driver's seat and fastening the seatbelt, for the key-start version, insert the mechanical key into the ignition lock hole on the right side of the steering wheel, press the brake pedal (for manual transmission, press the clutch), then turn it clockwise all the way until the engine starts. The keyless start is even simpler: as long as the key is inside the car, press the brake pedal firmly while holding down the engine icon button on the center console, and the engine will start in two seconds. After starting, remember to check the dashboard—if the tachometer needle jumps, it means success. For cold starts in winter, it's best to wait about thirty seconds for the coolant temperature to rise before turning on the heater, which is better for the engine.
Veteran drivers of the Qoros 3 emphasize a smooth operating sequence. Don't rush to start the engine after getting in the car—first adjust the seat and mirrors for comfort. Insert the key and turn it to the ACC position, allowing the onboard computer to complete its self-check (wait until all dashboard warning lights go off), then turn to START to ignite. For models with push-button start, you can lightly press the button without stepping on the brake to power on for self-check, wait five seconds, then press and hold the button while stepping on the brake to start. After ignition, listen carefully to the engine sound—if it makes a clicking noise, the battery might be low. Remember to turn off the AC before starting on rainy days to reduce the starting load.
