How to Start a Car with Push Button Ignition?
2 Answers
First, press the start button once to turn on the ACC light. Then press the start button again, at which point the push-button ignition will turn green, and the vehicle will begin self-check. Allow the vehicle about 5-8 seconds to complete the self-check. Once the self-check is done, press the brake and press the push-button ignition once more to start the car. Here are some precautions for push-button ignition: 1. In case of an emergency while driving, you can turn off the vehicle by either holding down the push-button ignition or pressing it three times consecutively. 2. If you accidentally press the push-button ignition once while driving, the car will not shut off due to built-in safety mechanisms. 3. Although push-button ignition is convenient and eliminates the need for a physical key, always remember to turn off the engine when exiting the vehicle.
To start the car with one-push ignition, the key step is to press the brake pedal and push the start button. I remember feeling a bit unfamiliar with it the first time, as I was used to traditional keys, but the system is much more convenient: just keep the key in your pocket or on your person, make sure the gear is in P or neutral after getting in the car, press the brake firmly, and then press the Engine button—the engine will roar to life in seconds. Never press it while driving; only do so when parked. If there's no response, it might be due to a weak key signal, such as when the battery is low—try placing it in the charging induction area in the center console. Alternatively, check if the brake is pressed deeply enough, as many people lightly press it, causing the system not to recognize it. This system is quite intelligent, preventing accidental starts that could be dangerous—for example, it won’t respond at all if the brake isn’t pressed. With regular use, it feels safe and efficient, though in cold winter weather or with battery issues, a slightly slower start is normal—just press it patiently. Overall, it’s just a few simple steps, and developing good habits helps avoid mistakes.
