How to start the Roewe RX5?
2 Answers
The starting method for the Roewe RX5: The keyless ignition switch is located on the instrument panel on the right side of the steering column and is push-button operated; simply press it to start the vehicle. For the keyless start system to function, the remote key must be inside the vehicle. To shift out of park, the ignition switch must be in the ON position, and the brake pedal must be depressed. The Roewe RX5 is a compact SUV launched by SAIC Motor, with dimensions of 4571mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1719mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2708mm. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum power output of 127kW, paired with either a 7-speed dual-clutch or a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving the Roewe RX5 for almost two years now, and starting it is really simple, usually with the keyless system. You get in, close all the doors, sit in the driver's seat, and press the brake pedal—this is a must, as the car won't start without it. With the key on you, just press the start button on the center console, and the engine will hum to life. For older models with a mechanical key, you need to insert the key into the slot next to the steering wheel and turn it halfway to the start position. Sometimes, when it's cold or the battery is weak, the response might be slow, but pressing the button again usually does the trick. I always make it a habit to check if the gear is in P or N and ensure the handbrake is properly set to avoid rolling. Before driving, I also take a quick glance at the fuel gauge and tire pressure to ensure a safe trip. The whole process is like starting a phone—once you're used to it, it takes just ten seconds, and even beginners can get the hang of it easily. The key is not to panic.
