How to Start the Car with One-Button Start in Winter?
2 Answers
The steps for starting the car with one-button start in winter are: 1. First press the start button once. After the ACC light turns on, press the start button again. At this point, the one-button start button will turn green, and the vehicle will begin self-checking; 2. Allow the vehicle about 5 to 8 seconds to complete the self-check. Once the self-check is finished, press the brake and press the one-button start button once more to start the vehicle. It is normal for a car's engine to have difficulty starting in winter because the low temperatures make the engine oil more viscous, and the battery's performance can also degrade due to the cold. When using the car in winter, try not to park it outdoors overnight, as this can shorten the battery's lifespan.
I have a car with push-button start, and it does sometimes have trouble starting in winter. The main reason is that cold weather reduces the car battery's charge, leading to insufficient ignition voltage. It's recommended to first check the battery's health, either through the onboard diagnostic system or by checking the battery indicator light. Before starting, firmly press the brake pedal, then hold the start button for 3-5 seconds—don't release it too quickly. If the car doesn't start, avoid repeated attempts in succession, as this can easily damage the system; it's better to wait half a minute before trying again. Additionally, ensure engine pre-lubrication: if your car supports remote start, use a mobile app to warm up the vehicle 5-10 minutes in advance, helping the engine and fluids heat up. During regular maintenance, don’t forget to periodically check the battery’s lifespan and electrolyte levels to avoid cold-weather failures. Keep a portable jump starter handy—if the battery dies, you can jump-start it yourself, which is both practical and safe. Develop these good habits, and winter starts will go much smoother.
