Press the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a smooth stop. Shift the gear from D (Drive) to N (Neutral), and simultaneously engage the parking brake (for electronic parking brakes, simply pull up the switch). Continue holding the brake pedal, then shift the gear from N (Neutral) to P (Park). Release the brake pedal, press the one-touch start/stop button to power off the vehicle, completing the shutdown process.

I've been driving a Li Auto for a while, and the shutdown operation is actually quite simple. After parking, first make sure the car is completely stationary, shift the gear lever to P, then press the start button on the center console, and the system will automatically turn off the power. Remember to check if the lights are turned off before shutting down to prevent drain. Li Auto is electric, so after shutdown, the vehicle can still maintain some functions like remote control, but it's recommended to ensure the battery is sufficiently charged when parking for a long time. To lock the car, just press the lock button on the key or the mobile app, which is safer, especially when parking in public places.

As a technician working with Li Auto vehicles, I must emphasize the importance of following proper shutdown procedures to avoid damaging the electrical system. Come to a complete stop by pressing the brake pedal, shift to the P position, gently press the start button once, and wait until all dashboard indicator lights turn off. Never shut down the vehicle while in D gear, as this puts stress on the transmission system. Li Auto's range-extending technology makes shutdown smarter - after parking, the system automatically enters energy-saving mode to protect life. If your key fob runs out of power, you can still perform shutdown via Bluetooth sensing with your smartphone, which is both convenient and reliable.

When I first got my Li Auto driver's license, the shutdown process confused me a bit. Later I learned it's actually quite simple: drive to your destination and come to a complete stop, don't touch the steering wheel or accelerator, gently push the gear lever to P position, then press the round button in the center once. After shutdown, remember to check if the car is locked. Once you get used to it, you'll find it even easier than a gasoline car. New drivers might worry about forgetting things like leaving the wipers on, but the vehicle automatically handles these small details after shutdown. With a few more practices, it'll become second nature.

The ignition-off function of Li Auto is designed with high-tech features. After parking, you can not only turn off the engine with one button but also through sensing. For example, the car starts when you approach with the key, and conversely, it shuts down when you leave or via the APP, avoiding energy waste. It is recommended to wait a few seconds before turning off to allow the interior to cool down, preventing system overheating. The vehicle's self-check function examines the battery status during shutdown, and if the battery level is too low, the central control screen will prompt you to recharge. This is more eco-friendly and worry-free compared to traditional cars.

Having driven for decades, the way the Li Auto shuts down impressed me. After parking, simply press the start button—no need to turn a key like in older cars. The system records driving habits upon shutdown, making the next start smoother. Remember to turn off the AC and headlights before shutting down to extend life. Li Auto's electronic gearshift is highly responsive; shifting to P automatically prepares for shutdown without any hassle. In daily use, the car remains connected after shutdown, allowing features like remote status checks—a true convenience of modern vehicles.
