What is the shutdown procedure for the Lynk & Co 03?
2 Answers
You need to press the brake pedal to ensure the vehicle is stationary, shift the gear into N (Neutral). Pull up the handbrake, release the foot brake, and then shift into P (Park) to shut down the engine. Alternatively, stop the vehicle completely, press the P (Park) button, engage the electronic handbrake, and then turn off the engine before releasing the brake.
When I first started driving the Lynk & Co 03, it took me some time to figure out the shutdown procedure. After stopping the car, it's crucial to firmly press and hold the brake pedal to prevent any dangerous rolling. Then engage the electronic parking brake and shift the gear to P position - this is key to protecting the automatic transmission. Finally, a gentle press on the start/stop button will turn off the engine. Don't forget to check interior equipment like AC, radio and headlights after shutdown - turning them off saves battery. Although Lynk & Co's smart system sometimes auto-locks, I prefer manually confirming door locks for extra peace of mind, especially in unfamiliar locations. Maintaining this routine has kept my car trouble-free for years with smooth startups. Remember in winter, never shut down a hot engine immediately - waiting a few seconds for cooling makes all the difference. This complete procedure ensures both safety and convenience.
