One-button start does not require pressing hard, just press and hold to start. Passat one-button start: Press the one-button start button once to power on, press and hold to start. Press the handbrake down to release, then shift gears to drive. One-button start: The one-button start device is part of a smart car, a button device that simplifies the starting process and can also turn off the engine. This device can be retrofitted at the original car key lock position or as an independent panel. Unlike traditional mechanical key ignition and conventional starting procedures, simply pressing the one-button start button can start or turn off the engine, avoiding the hassle of losing or searching for keys. Most of the time, you need to step on the foot brake during the ignition process.
The Passat's one-touch start button is designed to be highly responsive, requiring no forceful pressing. Having driven my friend's Passat several times, I noticed just a light tap suffices, akin to touching a smartphone screen. If owners feel the need to press harder, it might be due to dust accumulation in the button crevices or minor internal circuitry issues—cleaning may help. Regular maintenance, like wiping the button surface with a soft cloth, can prevent this. Additionally, low car battery voltage slowing system response could also make pressing feel harder. In short, keep operations gentle; avoid forcing the press to protect the device and minimize safety risks.
