How to Turn Off a Keyless Car?
2 Answers
Steps to turn off a keyless car: 1. Press the brake pedal and bring the vehicle to a smooth stop; 2. Shift the gear from D (Drive) to N (Neutral); 3. Engage the handbrake or activate the electronic parking brake; 4. Release the foot brake, but do not turn off the power, ensuring the car is completely stationary under the handbrake to prevent P (Park) lock-up; 5. Continue pressing the foot brake and shift the gear from N to P; 6. Release the foot brake and press the start/stop button to turn off the power, completing the parking process. The keyless start system allows the vehicle to be started without inserting or turning a key—simply keep the key in your bag or pocket and press the in-car button or turn the ignition switch to start the engine, making the process more convenient and enhancing the sense of luxury and technology.
When I first started using the keyless ignition, I also puzzled over it for a while. Actually, it's quite simple - just come to a complete stop, press the brake pedal, shift to P gear, and gently press the start button. But you need to pay attention to the dashboard prompts - don't just press and walk away. Check if the engine is really turned off. Sometimes pressing once only stops the engine but doesn't cut power, and if the screen is still on, you'll need to press again. My Hyundai won't respond at all if I forget to shift to P gear - the system is quite smart. One more tip: if you're in a hurry to turn off the car after using AC in summer, it's better to turn off the AC first and wait a few dozen seconds before shutting down, otherwise you might damage the compressor. Many experienced drivers don't know this.
