Manual transmission Santana can start without pressing the brake, while the automatic transmission New Santana requires pressing the brake. When starting the car, pressing the clutch facilitates ignition, and pressing the brake prevents the car from rolling when in neutral. New Santana Models: The 2021 New Santana is available in four versions: Automatic Comfort Edition, Automatic Trend Edition, Manual Comfort Edition, and Manual Trend Edition. Scenarios Requiring Brake Pressing for Ignition: Automatic transmission models and keyless start models require pressing the brake to start. The design principle of these models mandates pressing the brake for ignition; otherwise, the car cannot start. Scenarios Not Requiring Brake Pressing for Ignition: Manual transmission models do not require pressing the brake to start. The purpose of pressing the brake is to prevent the car from rolling or sliding during the starting process. Not pressing the brake will not affect the car's ignition.

Can Keyless Entry and Start Be Installed as Aftermarket Features?

It can be installed as an aftermarket feature. Here is relevant information: 1. The car is equipped with a keyless entry system, which allows the vehicle to detect the key within a certain distance when the owner approaches with the key. The ID of the key chip automatically matches the ID of the engine. After successful pairing, the car door unlocks automatically without the need for a key, eliminating manual operation. 2. The keyless start system uses the most advanced radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, triggered by the chip in the smart card carried by the owner. When the owner enters the car, the detection system inside the vehicle immediately recognizes the smart card. After confirmation, the car's computer enters working mode. At this point, simply pressing the start button inside the car (or turning the knob in some models) will start the vehicle normally.
