Does the 2017 Lavida require a long press for one-button start?

Lavida's one-button start is activated with a single press. One-button start, instant ignition. Simply lightly touch the START/STOP button to start/stop the vehicle, eliminating the hassle of fumbling for keys and the awkwardness of not seeing the ignition switch at night. Relevant information about one-button start is as follows: 1. Introduction: The one-button start device is part of a smart car, a button device that simplifies the starting process and can also stop the engine. This device can be retrofitted at the original car key lock position or installed as an independent panel. 2. Function: Unlike traditional mechanical key ignition and conventional starting procedures, simply pressing the one-button start button enables starting and stopping, avoiding the trouble of lost or misplaced keys. Most ignition processes require stepping on the foot brake.

I've been driving the 2017 Lavida for over three years now, and the one-button start feature is incredibly convenient. After getting in the car, I just press the brake pedal and give the start button a quick tap with my finger—the engine starts immediately without needing to hold the button down. Holding the button for a long time actually activates other functions in some car models, like diagnostic mode or emergency engine shutdown, but in the 2017 Lavida, a brief press is all it takes to start. At first, I mistakenly thought I needed to hold it down and wasted effort trying several times before checking the manual to learn the correct method. I'd advise new owners to develop this habit: make sure the key is inside the car and the brake is firmly pressed before hitting the button. Also, check the key battery regularly to avoid signal weakness issues. The one-button start was designed for speed and convenience—simple operation enhances the driving experience, so don't waste time with unnecessary actions.

As someone very interested in automotive electronic systems, I'm quite familiar with the one-button start operation of the Volkswagen Lavida. The 2017 model starts with a short button press without needing to hold it down; holding the button might trigger the engine shutdown function instead of starting. After the key is detected inside the car via RFID, a brief press of the button sends the start command, with pressing the brake pedal being the crucial step. I previously tested the Lavida's system data using an OBD tool, confirming that a short press quickly responds to the start signal. If the button doesn't respond, first check if there's any prompt on the dashboard or if the key battery is low. Replacing it with an original battery costs just a little over ten yuan. Remember to operate decisively—the one-button start is designed to simplify the driving process, so don't complicate things with incorrect operations.

I use the 2017 Lavida as a family car to pick up and drop off my family. The one-button start operation is very simple: after pressing the brake pedal, just press the button once to start the car—there's really no need to hold it down. Holding the button down might actually put the car into setup mode in some cases, but starting the engine is an instantaneous action. When teaching my kids how to operate it, I emphasize pressing the button just once to avoid them getting nervous and pressing it repeatedly. Once in a parking lot, the button didn’t work, and I realized the key was too far away—moving it closer solved the issue. I recommend family users regularly check the car battery and brake system to avoid affecting startup safety. This feature in the Lavida is very reliable, and operating it correctly saves time and ensures punctual trips.
