How to Start the Envision?

Here are the steps to start the Envision: 1. Press the brake pedal with your right foot, and use your right index finger to press the 'one-touch start' button (ensure the gear is in P position when parked). The Envision's engine will then start running. 2. Shift to R gear or D gear (use R gear for reversing and D gear for moving forward). 3. Release the handbrake (keep your right foot on the brake pedal until this step). (1) If reversing is needed, gently lift your right foot to release the brake (but keep it ready on the brake pedal to control the reversing speed effectively). After reversing to the desired position, press the brake pedal firmly and shift to D gear. Move your right foot to the accelerator pedal and gently press to move forward. (2) If moving forward is needed and already in D gear, simply move your right foot to the accelerator pedal and gently press to move forward.

I've been driving the Envision for many years, and starting it is a basic task. Let's begin with getting into the car: sit in the driver's seat, make sure the door is closed, and fasten the seatbelt—safety first. Then, press the brake pedal firmly; this is crucial because most Envisions are automatic, and pressing the brake is necessary to start the engine to prevent accidental movement. For models with a push-button start, simply press the start button near the steering wheel, and the engine will roar to life in a few seconds. For older models that use a key, insert the key into the ignition switch and gently turn it to the start position. After starting, don't rush to drive—observe the dashboard: wait until all warning lights go off and the RPM stabilizes before shifting into gear. During cold starts in winter, let the engine warm up a bit to improve oil temperature and efficiency. The whole process is simple yet essential; make it a habit to protect your car.

The one-button start in the Envision is really convenient, I use it every day. The steps are super simple: bring the key into the car, get comfortable in the seat, then press the brake pedal—the button will light up prompting you to press it, and the engine starts within seconds. If you press the button without stepping on the brake, it only powers on without starting the engine, which is a thoughtful design to prevent misuse. After starting, as long as the engine sound and dashboard are normal, it's good to go—I usually wait for the self-check to complete before driving. The key needs to be within the car's sensing range; if the battery dies, just replace it. This is much more hassle-free than inserting a key and saves time on daily commutes. Occasionally, I've also tried remote start by holding down the key button to pre-warm the car and adjust the AC, making getting in and out more comfortable.
