How to: Automatic Car Wash 2022 XC60

Can y'all help me with the steps for the auto car wash? I turn off the front and rear sensors and put the transmission in neutral, engine still one, All is fine til I get to the end of the tunnel and pull the gear shift level from N to D and it sends me a message to do something before it will engage D. Not sure if it's telling me to tap the brake (maybe not a good idea on a conveyer belt with folks behind me) before I can move from N to D. Can anyone help me with what to do? Thanks.

You don't really need to turn off the sensors.. After the wash is complete, you have to step on the brake to move the gear selector into Drive. You won't damage the carwash and if you do, it's not your problem!

I was thinking about using a touch free carwash in Fort Worth for this, but when I pull the gear shift lever from N to D, it sends me a message to do something before it will engage D.

The issue happens because the engine is still on. For automatic car washes, the engine should be off while the car is on the conveyor. Once the wash is finished, start the engine and then shift from N to D. This prevents error messages and ensures the car’s safety systems allow the gear change.
