"WE" got a new vehicle that "WE" both can drive but mostly mine. Routine to go: unlock door, open door, hit unlock button to open rear door and put cooler and box on back seat. Get in, close door, hit lock button. Seat belt on, key in ignition and start. Press "auto start shut-off" ( so it stays running when you stop ), push button to release parking brake-make sure foot is on brake pedal, turn knob to "D", rotate knob twice to turn lights off during day, press last button below screen to turn all the stuff of and just leave the clock on. I think that's it...unless you want to pick a "mode" other than normal to drive in or turn off traction control.
