Oh, starting an Accord with a key is something I'm very familiar with, because that's how I used to do it with my old car. First, you need to insert the key into the ignition slot on the right side of the steering wheel, turn it to the ON position, but don't rush to start the engine. Let the car listen to the sound and warm up for three to five seconds. Once the engine is properly warmed up, gently turn the key to the START position. When you hear the engine humming, it means it's started. The whole process should be done smoothly to avoid over-twisting and damaging the ignition slot. Why is it so complicated? The key-start design is meant for safety and reliability, especially when dealing with a weak battery—it's more dependable than push-button start. For daily use, make sure the car is parked in P or neutral gear before starting. After starting, check the dashboard indicator lights to ensure there are no abnormalities. If you occasionally have trouble starting, it might be due to a worn-out key or wiring issues—then it's time to visit a repair shop. Develop good habits, and your car will last longer!
