How to Start with One-Button Start?
2 Answers
To start the car with one-button start, press the start button until the ACC light comes on, then press the start button again. At this point, the one-button start button will turn green, indicating the car is ready to start. Below are specific reasons why the one-button start might not respond: 1. Steering wheel lock. The steering wheel lock is an anti-theft feature. When the car is turned off, turning the steering wheel from the centered position to a certain angle in one direction will lock the steering wheel. In this locked state, the one-button start function will not work. To release the lock, turn the steering wheel left and right while pressing the engine start button to relieve tension. 2. Gear not in P (Park) position. 3. Smart key battery is dead. When the smart key's battery is depleted, the key's transmission power is low, making it difficult for the car's sensors to detect the key. In this case, the one-button start cannot complete the ignition process.
The first time I used a car with push-button start, it felt quite novel. You need to first sit in the driver's seat, close the door securely, and make sure the key is in your pocket or nearby inside the car, as the vehicle needs to detect the key signal. Then, press the brake pedal and gently push the start button on the center console—usually a circular design. Pressing the brake is crucial; if you don’t, pushing the button only powers the dashboard without starting the engine. Once started, the engine sound will come on, and the system enters the ready state, allowing you to shift gears and drive. If it doesn’t work, the key battery might be dead or the brake pedal wasn’t pressed firmly enough. I recommend beginners try it a few times to get familiar—it becomes super convenient once you’re used to it. But if issues arise, don’t panic—check the manual or visit a repair shop to inspect the car battery. Remember to press the button to turn off the engine when parking, and keep the brake pressed to prevent accidental starts. Overall, this design eliminates the hassle of fumbling for keys, making driving more convenient and stylish.
