The steps to start a BMW X5 are: 1. Sit in the driver's seat and press the start button to turn on the ACC light; 2. Press the start button again for the vehicle to perform a self-check; 3. Depress the brake pedal and press the start button to ignite and start the engine; 4. Depress the foot brake, shift to D gear, and release the handbrake. The BMW X5 is a 5-door, 5-seat mid-to-large SUV with body dimensions of length 4930mm, width 2004mm, height 1776mm, and a wheelbase of 2975mm. It has a fuel tank capacity of 83 liters and is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 265 PS and a maximum power output of 195 kW.
As a first-time driver of the BMW X5, I found starting it quite straightforward: First, sit comfortably and fasten the seatbelt. Then, press the brake pedal and push the start button to ignite the engine. Next, shift into D gear (automatic transmission is super convenient), gently release the brake, and the car will start moving slowly. If the initial speed feels too slow, just lightly press the accelerator to pick up speed. Important reminder: Always check the rearview mirrors to ensure safety around you, especially in parking lots or crowded areas. The BMW X5's power delivery is very smooth, so don’t panic at first—just get familiar with it after a few tries. Also, remember to check the tires and lights before starting to avoid any surprises.
