Press the brake to ensure the vehicle is stationary, then shift the gear into N. Pull up the handbrake; shift into P, and release the brake. 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 one-button start switch to adjust the ignition switch to the OFF position.

I've been driving the XPeng P7 for over half a year, and the shutdown operation is actually quite simple. First, ensure the car is stable when parking, shift to P gear (that's the parking gear), then press and hold the brake pedal, locate the start button on the center console—the one with the power symbol—and give it a gentle press. The car will beep once, and the screen will display a shutdown or turn black. I'm in the habit of locking the car immediately after shutdown using the key or the XPeng APP to completely cut off power and avoid any leakage issues. XPeng's intelligent system is excellent; if there's no activity for a few minutes, it will automatically shut down, but I recommend manual operation for more reliability. Be careful not to shut down on a slope to prevent the risk of the car rolling. Before shutting down, turn off high-power-consuming devices like the air conditioning and audio system to save power and extend battery life. Every time before I get out of the car, I check if the screen has turned black, developing good habits for safety. Additionally, the APP can send reminders to help you remember to shut down, making it easy to solve if you forget.

Having driven for decades, I believe shutting down the XPeng P7 requires attention to safety details. After parking steadily, confirm it's in P gear, then press the start button to power off—a black screen indicates completion. Always turn off all electrical devices like the AC or lights before shutdown to prevent unnecessary battery drain. Immediately use the remote to lock the car after powering off to ensure complete power cut-off, thwarting potential theft. If the button doesn’t respond, avoid forcing it; check the key’s battery or the vehicle’s system status, and restart the APP if necessary. Remember, shutting down on level ground is safest, as slopes may cause the car to shift. Don’t rush the shutdown process; wait until all indicator lights are off before leaving. Regular maintenance of the battery and wiring helps avoid shutdown failures due to abnormalities. Adopting these habits can save a lot of trouble.

The tech in the XPeng P7 really impresses me, especially the shutdown method—it's super cool. Just open the XPeng app on your phone, go to the vehicle page, and tap the shutdown button, and the car turns off immediately. It's even more convenient inside the car—just press the start button to shut down, and the screen will prompt for confirmation. The app also shows real-time status updates, and if you forget to turn it off, it sends a push notification reminder. The key is to maintain a good signal for smoother remote operations. After shutdown, the system enters standby mode, which doesn’t affect the next startup. I always lock the car after each operation for security. Just a few simple steps, and it’s packed with tech vibes.
