Cadillac's starting method is: unlock the car door, carry the key into the car, press the brake pedal, and then press the start button to start the car. Taking the 2021 Cadillac XT5 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4813mm, width 1903mm, height 1682mm, wheelbase 2857mm, and body weight 1830kg. The 2021 Cadillac XT5 features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a five-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 237ps, maximum power of 174kw, maximum torque of 350nm, and is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.

Starting a Cadillac is really super easy, and I find it very convenient every time I drive. For example, my car has a keyless start system. First, sit in the driver's seat, adjust the seat, and make sure the smart key is in your pocket or inside the car. Then, press and hold the brake pedal with your right foot without releasing it, and press the round start button near the steering wheel for about two seconds. The engine will roar to life. If you don't press the brake, pressing the button will only power on the electronics but won't start the engine—this is a very safe design. By the way, if the key battery is dead, don't worry; just place the key near the start button, and the system will detect it. After starting, remember to check if the dashboard indicators are normal, as these are related to driving safety. Cadillac's start-up response is very quick, and it's super convenient in summer when you can adjust the temperature immediately. In short, once you get used to it, it's as easy as flipping a switch—don't overcomplicate it.

Starting a Cadillac is quite straightforward, and after years of use, I find it very reliable. The usual steps are: sit in the driver's seat, fasten the seatbelt, and firmly press the brake pedal with your right foot. For traditional key models, insert the key into the ignition switch and give it a gentle twist; for modern keyless versions, simply press the start button. The key is to press the brake pedal—it's a safety mechanism to prevent accidental activation. During startup, I always check the dashboard for any warning lights, such as the battery or engine icons, which would require attention. Sometimes, if the car doesn't start, it might be due to a low key battery or signal interference inside the car—simply replacing the battery usually fixes it. Cadillac's startup system is intelligently designed, with a smooth and quiet engine after ignition, making it ideal for long trips. In short, just follow the steps, and you'll be fine.

I quickly mastered the process of starting a Cadillac. After getting into the car, first ensure the smart key is nearby, then press the brake pedal all the way down, and finally press the start button to ignite the engine. If the brake isn't pressed, the lights will turn on but the engine won't start, so that step can't be skipped. After starting, I listen to check if the engine sounds normal—any unusual noises might indicate a problem. If the key accidentally loses signal, try placing it near the cup holder. I've tried this method several times, and it always works. Starting the car is simple and safe.

Will a Manual Transmission Car Roll Back?

Manual transmission cars can roll back. Reasons for rolling back in manual transmission cars: Rolling back usually occurs on steep slopes when the clutch disengages automatically or the engagement force is too weak. Even when the accelerator is pressed, there is a buffering time required, which can make the car feel like it's rolling backward. Not engaging the handbrake when parked or a malfunctioning handbrake can also cause the car to roll back. Rolling back: This refers to coasting in neutral or with the clutch pedal depressed. Simply put, when the car is moving at high speed, pressing the clutch or shifting to neutral allows the car to move forward solely by inertia. When starting on a slope, improper coordination between the accelerator and clutch can cause the car to move backward, which is also known as rolling back.
