How Many Times Should You Press the One-Button Start to Turn Off the Engine?

When in P gear, press once to directly turn off the engine and cut power; when in N gear, press once to turn off the engine but not cut power—you need to shift to P gear and press twice to cut power. Important Note: If an emergency occurs while the vehicle is in motion, you can turn off the engine by pressing the one-button start for more than 3 seconds or pressing it three times consecutively. In this case, the power switches to ACC mode. The correct steps to turn off the engine using the one-button start are as follows: Press the brake, bring the vehicle to a complete stop, and shift from D gear to N gear. Engage the handbrake (if it's an electronic handbrake, simply pull it up). Release the foot brake but do not turn off the power—this is to confirm that the vehicle comes to a complete stop under the handbrake's effect and to prevent the P gear from locking. Continue pressing the foot brake, shift from N gear to P gear, release the foot brake, press the one-button start, and the power will turn off, completing the engine shutdown.
As an experienced driver using a push-button start car, here's how it works: To start the engine, press the brake pedal and lightly press the button once to ignite. To turn off the engine, make sure the vehicle has completely stopped, shift to park, then press the button once again to shut down. The entire process requires just one press each time – never press multiple times unnecessarily, as this may activate accessory mode (draining battery power) or cause system malfunctions. I remember once forgetting to press the brake and pushing the button several times with no response. Since then, I've developed the habit of firmly pressing the brake before pushing the button – it saves time and protects the battery. The push-button start design is simple, efficient, and very beginner-friendly.
