How to Start the X-Trail with One-Key Start?
2 Answers
To start the X-Trail with the one-key start function, follow these steps: 1. First, press the start button once: After the ACC light turns on, press the start button again. The one-key start button will then turn green, indicating that the vehicle is performing a self-check. 2. Once the self-check is complete: Depress the brake pedal and press the one-key start button once more to start the vehicle. 3. Starting the engine while driving: If the engine stalls while the vehicle is in motion, you can restart it without depressing the brake pedal by shifting the gear lever to the N (neutral) position and pressing the engine start/stop button.
As a long-time X-Trail owner, the one-push start is incredibly convenient. You must have the key on you before getting in the car—even if it's just tossed in your bag, the sensors will automatically detect it. Once in the driver's seat, firmly press the brake pedal, then directly press the round button with an arrow icon on the center console, and the engine starts in just one second. If you forget to press the brake and just push the button, the car will only power on without starting the engine—simply press the brake and push the button again. After starting, all dashboard indicators light up, and the tachometer stabilizes within seconds. In cold winters, I love using the remote start feature: hold the lock button, then press and hold the start button for a few seconds—it can ignite the engine from 10 meters away, warming up the car and turning on the AC in advance. However, I recommend avoiding this in enclosed garages—safety first. Shutting down is even easier: once parked, shift to P mode and lightly press the start button once.
