The steps to start an Envision are: first press the brake, then press the ignition button to start the engine. Wait for the vehicle to complete self-inspection and warm up, then shift to D or R gear. Release the electronic parking brake and foot brake, and press the accelerator to drive. Taking the 2021 Envision as an example, its body structure is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV with dimensions of 4694mm in length, 1839mm in width, and 1686mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 2750mm, a fuel tank capacity of 68 liters, and a curb weight of 1610kg. The 2021 Envision is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 169PS, a maximum power of 124kW, and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
When driving the Buick Envision, starting the vehicle is simple and safe. I first sit in the driver's seat, ensuring the seatbelt is fastened and the gear is in Park position. Then, I press the brake pedal—this is crucial because the system needs to detect the brake signal to allow startup. Next, I press the one-touch start button near the steering wheel, and within seconds, the engine roars to life. After starting, I like to glance at the dashboard to confirm no warning lights are illuminated; if lights like the battery or oil pressure indicators are on, there might be an issue that needs checking. In winter, I let the car warm up for 10 to 20 seconds before driving off, which helps ensure smooth oil circulation. Developing a habit of regularly checking the battery can prevent breakdowns on the road.
When I first bought the car, I wasn't very familiar with the starting procedure, but now it's become second nature. The first step is always to ensure the surroundings are safe, then press the brake pedal—if you don't press it, the start button won't respond. The one-touch start button is usually located near the center console, and pressing it once will start the engine. I remember the first time I used it, I forgot to keep the key close to the car, and the startup failed. Later, I learned that the key's sensing range is roughly within one meter. After starting, I quickly set the air conditioning temperature or radio station. If the startup is slow, it might be due to an aging battery or a dead key fob, and it's time for a check-up.
Starting the Buick Envision is quick and efficient: get in, press the brake, and push the start button. Once done, I prefer adjusting the seat or mirrors immediately. Modern push-button start saves time and effort. If nothing happens after pressing, first check if the brake is fully depressed or if the key is in your pocket. A related tip: avoid prolonged idling after the engine starts; driving off directly is more eco-friendly.
