How to Turn Off the Qoros 5?
3 Answers
Press the brake to ensure the vehicle is stationary, shift the gear to N, and engage the handbrake. Shift to P, release the brake, and turn off any unnecessary electrical devices in the car. Check that the gear is in P, all unnecessary electrical devices are turned off, and the steering wheel is straightened. Turn the key counterclockwise to the end or press the start-stop button once to switch the ignition to the OFF position.
I've been driving the Qoros 5 for almost three years, and the shutdown procedure is quite simple. After the car comes to a complete stop, make sure to keep your foot on the brake pedal, then shift the gear to P position - this is the most crucial step. Next, simply press the start/stop button on the center console once, and the engine will shut down quietly. Remember to engage the electronic parking brake afterward for extra safety. Before turning off the engine, I always switch off the air conditioning and audio system first - especially when using AC in summer, sudden shutdowns can put extra strain on the battery during next startup. Finally, don't forget to check if all lights are turned off, particularly for those who've installed LED aftermarket lights. I've maintained this routine for a long time, and it's particularly helpful for extending battery life.
The shutdown procedure for the Qoros 5 is quite similar to other automatic transmission vehicles. After parking, keep the brake pedal depressed, shift to P (Park), and then press the start/stop button. One detail to note: If you turn off the engine with the air conditioning still running, the compressor will start along with the engine the next time you start the car, which suddenly increases the load and isn't ideal for the vehicle. Therefore, I always turn off the air conditioning before shutting down the engine. Whether to engage the handbrake depends on the road conditions; it's optional on flat roads but a must on slopes. Additionally, I've noticed that with keyless start vehicles, after turning off the engine, don't place the key too far away, or the car will automatically sound an alarm if it can't detect the key. This design is quite thoughtful.
