How many times do you need to press the one-button start to start the car?

Here is an introduction to the one-button start function: 1. Nowadays, the vehicle's computer operates at increasingly faster speeds, so you can simply press the one-button start while stepping on the brake to start the car directly. 2. The one-button start does not require pressing two or three times. The original design of a segmented function was merely to facilitate the use of multimedia or lights without starting the engine, not to complicate the starting process. 3. Regarding the operation of the one-button start, when the vehicle is turned off, pressing and holding the one-button start for 3 seconds without stepping on the brake will only power on the vehicle without starting it. Alternatively, some models require pressing the ignition switch twice consecutively. Therefore, it is not universally true that the one-button start can only power on the vehicle but not start it. 4. If the one-button start is accidentally pressed while the vehicle is in motion, it will not cause the engine to shut down. Vehicles equipped with a factory-installed one-button start feature have protective mechanisms to prevent mechanical damage and erroneous operations.

I've driven several cars with one-button start, most of which only require pressing the button once to start the engine, provided the brake pedal is depressed. This feature is designed to simplify operations and avoid the hassle of repeatedly turning a key. The first time I used it, I was a bit nervous, worrying that pressing the wrong number of times might damage the car. But in reality, as long as you follow the standard procedure: the car is in park, the brake is depressed, and the start button is pressed once, the car will start smoothly. Some older models or specific brands might have a setup where the first press powers on the electronics without the brake, and the second press starts the engine, but this isn't part of the mainstream one-button start design. Occasionally, if the start button seems unresponsive, don't rush to press it repeatedly—it might be due to a weak battery or a dirty button, and cleaning it should help. Safe driving is crucial, so always ensure there are no obstacles around when starting the car.
