How to Start an Automatic Transmission Car with One-Key Start?
3 Answers
Enter the driver's seat, press the one-key start button to turn on the ACC light, then press it again to allow the vehicle to perform a self-check. Depress the brake pedal, press the one-key start button to ignite and start the engine (you can also directly press the one-key start button after depressing the brake to start the engine). Then release the foot brake and let the car warm up in place, adjusting the warm-up time according to the ambient temperature. Depress the foot brake again, pull the gear lever to shift from P (Park) to D (Drive). If you need to reverse, similarly depress the foot brake and pull the gear lever to shift from P to R (Reverse). Slowly release the foot brake and gently press the accelerator to start moving.
The first time I used the one-button start feature in my car, I made a mistake by pressing the button without stepping on the brake, and the engine completely ignored me. Later, I learned that the key must be inside the car or in my pocket, as the system has a sensing range. After sitting in the driver's seat, I confirmed the gear was in P (Park), then firmly pressed my foot on the brake pedal. With a single press of the start button, the engine roared to life. The whole process is quite simple, but it's important not to rush—always check the surroundings, like making sure the doors are securely closed. Sometimes, a low battery in the key fob can affect the startup, so remember to replace the key battery when needed. Overall, the one-button start is super convenient, especially in automatic transmission cars, eliminating the hassle of manual ignition.
To start an automatic transmission car with the push-button ignition, safety is paramount. I believe the first step is to ensure the key is inside the vehicle or nearby, then sit properly in the seat and fasten the seatbelt securely. Next, firmly press the brake pedal with your right foot—don't lightly tap it, but apply full pressure. Only then should you press the start button to successfully ignite the engine. If you press the button without stepping on the brake, the car may sound an alarm or not respond, potentially triggering hazards by mistake. Safety measures include checking for surrounding obstacles and dashboard warnings. Make it a habit to always check if the gear is in 'P' (Park) before starting to prevent rolling accidents.
