Do You Need to Press and Hold the One-Button Start?

One-button start does not require a long press. Here is how to use the one-button start: 1. Press the start button once, and after the ACC light turns on, press the start button again. At this point, the one-button start button will turn green, and the vehicle will perform a self-check. 2. After the vehicle completes the self-check, press the brake and press the one-button start button once more to start the vehicle. Below is some information about the one-button start: 1. The car one-button start device is part of a smart car and is a button device designed to simplify the ignition process. 2. Cars equipped with a one-button start function generally do not require inserting a key, but they still have a key insertion slot.
As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, let me tell you that push-button start absolutely doesn't require holding the button. Normally, you just need to press the brake pedal and then quickly tap that button—the engine will start right up. This is because the car's intelligent system automatically completes the startup process after detecting the signals, including checking oil pressure, electrical circuits, and so on. Holding the button down might actually put the system into sleep mode or trigger certain diagnostic functions, which doesn't help with normal startup and just wastes time. A common mistake beginners make is thinking they need to press and hold the button firmly like turning a key, only to find the car unresponsive. The real key is pressing the brake—without it, pressing the button only powers up the dashboard, not the engine. Remember this good habit: stop, press the brake, then tap the button to start. There might be slight variations across different models—for example, some German cars may require confirming light settings—but the basic principle remains the same: a short press is always the safest approach.
