How to Start a Hongqi with One-Button Ignition?
3 Answers
Hongqi one-button ignition method is to press the brake - ignite - shift to D gear (or R gear) - release the handbrake - release the footbrake - press the accelerator - start. The following is an introduction about Hongqi: 1. Introduction to Hongqi: Hongqi is a high-end automobile brand directly operated by FAW. On January 8, 2018, FAW released the new Hongqi brand strategy, with "Chinese new noble and exquisite doctrine" as the brand concept. On July 31, 2018, the 60th anniversary celebration of the Hongqi brand officially kicked off. On October 23, 2018, the Hongqi brand signed as the diamond partner of the fifth World Internet Conference. 2. Hongqi's service concept: Create the "Hongqi Heart Service System" to establish Hongqi offline experience centers, digital experience centers, Qishi groups, Hongqi shared travel and lifetime free (warranty, rescue, pick-up and delivery) Hongqi service commitment.
When driving my Hongqi, the one-button start operation is simple but requires attention to detail. After getting in the car, first ensure the brake is fully pressed—you need to apply some force with your foot, not just lightly rest it there. Then press the button with the engine icon, and the car starts immediately. Beginners often overlook firmly pressing the brake—I made the same mistake at first, pressing the button with no response and thinking it was broken, but it's actually a safety mechanism to prevent accidental starts. This one-button start system relies on smart key detection—the key must be inside the car to be recognized. Once, my key was too far away in my pants pocket, and the system didn’t recognize it, causing a delay. If the button light flashes yellow, it could indicate low battery or a malfunction, so it's best to check promptly. Once you get used to it, it’s incredibly convenient—no need to fumble for the keyhole, especially in rain or snow. Hongqi’s design improves driving efficiency, and I recommend friends press the brake firmly before pressing the button to avoid awkward situations.
As a driver with over a decade of experience, here's my insight on Hongqi's one-button start operation: After getting in the car, firmly press your foot on the brake pedal, confirm you feel solid resistance, then press the start button - the engine will ignite smoothly. This design mandates brake input as a safety confirmation to prevent accidental neutral gear starts. Once I saw a novice press the button without proper brake pressure - the car didn't move and they thought it malfunctioned, when actually the system requires safety confirmation. Daily use proves one-button start far more convenient than keys, with key fob detection range around one meter (keep keys within proximity). If unresponsive, check brake pressure, confirm gear in Park, and verify key presence. Regular battery maintenance prevents power issues affecting ignition. Hongqi's intelligent system delivers reliable performance that satisfies me daily.
