How to Start a Car with Push Button Start?
2 Answers
Starting method for push-button start cars: After the ACC light turns on, the owner presses the start button again, at which point the start button will turn green, and the car will perform a self-check. Once the self-check is completed, depress the brake pedal and press the start button once more, after which the car can start normally. Push-button start eliminates the need to find keys, insert them into the lock, or turn them; as long as the smart key is carried near the car, the vehicle will receive the induction signal, and pressing the switch while depressing the brake pedal will start the car. However, push-button start can also face some issues, such as the smart key running out of battery. In this case, it's necessary to extract the mechanical key from the smart key to open the door and start the car manually.
For cars with one-button start, I've developed a routine: After getting in and settling down, keep the key in your bag or pocket—no need to take it out. Press the brake pedal firmly with your right foot, then use your index finger to press the start button. Hearing the engine sound means it's started. Don't rush off just yet; glance down at the dashboard—the tachometer needle should stabilize around 800 RPM for a complete start. Next, grip the gear lever with your right hand, pull it down to D (Drive), and release the electronic parking brake. Don't forget to check the surroundings in the rearview mirror before gently releasing the brake pedal. If you need to reverse, shift to R (Reverse) and lightly press the accelerator to move slowly. When parking, first press the brake firmly, shift back to P (Park), and then turn off the engine. After driving this car for over three years, this routine has become as familiar as brushing my teeth.
