What is the procedure for parking and turning off the engine of the new Volvo S60?
2 Answers
Volvo S60 engine shutdown procedure is to shift the gear lever to neutral (N) position after stopping the car by pressing the brake, then engage the parking brake (handbrake). Release the foot brake and shift the gear lever to park (P) position, confirm that lights, air conditioning, audio and other electrical equipment are turned off, windows and doors are closed, then turn off the engine.
When parking my Volvo S60, I always find a flat and safe spot to stop the car, keeping my foot firmly on the brake pedal. Then I shift the gear lever to the P position to prevent the car from rolling after turning off the engine. Next, I pull the electronic parking brake button to activate the brake system, ensuring its indicator light is on. Finally, I press the start/stop button to shut down the engine and turn off the air conditioning or radio to save power. Before finishing, I glance at the dashboard to confirm no warning lights indicate any issues. The whole process takes just a few seconds, with safety as the priority—Volvo has an auto start-stop function, but I manually check to avoid accidents. After forming this habit, the car's electrical system has become more durable, and the battery life has extended.
