How to turn off the engine without cutting power with one-button start?

Do not press the brake pedal, simply press the one-button start button to turn off the engine without cutting power. Here are some related details: 1. The function of the one-button start system differs from traditional mechanical key ignition and conventional starting procedures. Just lightly press the one-button start button to start or stop the engine. Even if the key battery is dead or the key is lost, the vehicle can still be started quickly. During the ignition process, stepping on the brake pedal is mostly required. 2. Related functions of one-button start: (1) Enhanced safety and anti-theft performance. When the driver enters the vehicle, the car can quickly recognize them. If the owner is not inside, the vehicle will not start, featuring a comprehensive anti-collision technology. The electronic key encryption system uses fourth-generation RFID chip technology, making key duplication virtually impossible. (2) Even if the vehicle's anti-theft device is illegally removed, the one-button start system will lock the circuit, fuel system, and starting mechanism, preventing the vehicle from starting.
To turn off the engine without completely cutting power, using the one-button start feature is quite simple. I often do this, especially when waiting for someone or listening to music. Without pressing the brake pedal, just lightly press the start button once to switch to accessory mode (ACC). At this point, the engine is off, but the radio, cigarette lighter charging port, etc., can still work. The whole process takes just two or three seconds. Don’t press the brake pedal, as doing so will either start the engine or prevent the switch. Remember not to stay in ACC mode for too long, such as more than half an hour, as it can easily drain the battery, making it difficult to start the next time. My own car is a newly bought SUV, and it’s fine to sit there listening to music for 20 minutes, but older cars should be more cautious. It’s a good habit to check the battery status before getting in or out of the car, and using a multimeter to measure the voltage is more reliable.
