How to start FAW car with one-key start?
3 Answers
The steps for one-key start in FAW cars are: 1. After sitting in the driver's seat, press the start button to turn on the ACC light, then press again for vehicle self-check; 2. Depress the brake pedal and press the one-key start button to ignite the engine; 3. Release the foot brake; 4. Depress the foot pedal, shift to drive gear, and release the handbrake; 5. Release the foot brake and press the accelerator to complete the starting process. The one-key start system is part of smart cars, serving as a button device to simplify the starting process and can also be used to turn off the engine. FAW's vehicle models include: Hongqi, Jiefang, Besturn, FAW-Volkswagen, FAW-Audi, etc. Taking FAW-Audi A4L as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4858mm, width 1847mm, height 1439mm, wheelbase 2908mm, and fuel tank capacity 56L.
I've been driving a FAW car for over three years, and the one-button start is particularly convenient. When getting in the car, I always put the key in my pocket first, otherwise the system won't detect it and will sound an alarm. While pressing the brake pedal, hold the start button on the right side of the steering wheel for two seconds, and the dashboard will light up as the engine starts. If you press the button without stepping on the brake, the car will only power on without ignition, which is suitable for turning on the air conditioning or listening to music. The shutdown process is even simpler: stop the car, shift to P gear, pull the handbrake, and then press the start button to turn off the engine directly. The only thing to note is not to start the car in the garage and stay inside without getting out. I once almost suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning while waiting for someone in the garage.
The one-button start system in Hyundai cars follows a similar principle, and models like the Bestune B70 also feature this design. First, ensure the key is inside the car—I usually place it in the center console cup holder. Press the brake pedal all the way down and then push the ignition button; the engine starting sound is particularly noticeable. If you need to step out briefly, like to buy cigarettes, there's no need to turn off the engine, but taking the key too far will trigger a beeping alarm. In northern winters, remember to warm up the engine for an extra 30 seconds during cold starts and wait for the tachometer to stabilize before driving off. Most importantly, check the dashboard for any warning lights before moving—once I drove off with the tire pressure light on and ended up with a punctured tire.
