How to Start a Car with Push-Button Ignition?
2 Answers
To start a car with push-button ignition, follow these steps: 1. First, press the start button once. 2. Wait until the ACC light turns on, then press the start button again. 3. At this point, the push-button ignition will turn green, indicating that the vehicle is performing a self-check. 4. Once the self-check is complete, press the brake pedal and press the push-button ignition once more to start the vehicle. Additional information: 1. Typically, the smart key for push-button ignition also includes a traditional key with notches or grooves, which serves as a backup in case the push-button ignition fails, allowing the vehicle to be started manually. 2. Cars equipped with push-button ignition usually do not require inserting a key, but they still have a key slot for emergencies when the push-button ignition is not functioning properly.
I've been using a car with push-button start for several years, and starting it is very simple. When you get into the car, don't rush. The most crucial step is to confirm the gear is in the P position; otherwise, the car might roll forward, which is very dangerous. You need to press the brake pedal firmly with your foot, then use your right hand to press the start button with the lightning symbol. During startup, the dashboard will light up completely, and you can release the button once you hear the engine sound. Pay attention during cold starts in winter—don't turn on the heater immediately after pressing the button; wait until the tachometer needle stabilizes. The key must be kept in your pocket or near the cup holder; if it's too far away, it won't be detected. If there's no response, don't panic—it might be because the key's battery is dead. Try pressing the start button again with the key touching it. After starting, remember to check the warning lights. If the yellow engine light stays on, you should visit a repair shop.
