The consequences of one-key shutdown without stepping on the brake are: 1. If the car is in P gear or N gear, there is no damage to the engine. 2. If the car is in gear when shutting down, it will cause certain damage to the car. The following are relevant materials about one-key shutdown: 1. The shutdown operation steps for models with one-key start are to step on the brake and park the vehicle smoothly first. 2. Then shift the gear from D gear to N gear, tighten the handbrake and release the foot brake. 3. Remember not to turn off the power first, then step on the foot brake again and shift the gear from N gear to P gear. 4. Release the foot brake and press the one-key start button to turn off the power, and the shutdown is completed.
I've been driving for several years, and I remember one time when I was waiting at a traffic light, I absent-mindedly pressed the engine start/stop button without paying attention to my foot position. Surprisingly, the engine actually turned off while the gear was still in D. The car suddenly shook a bit, and the electronic power steering also failed. Fortunately, the speed was almost zero, so nothing serious happened. Looking back now, it's really scary to think about what could have happened if I had been on a slope or if there had been a car behind me that could have rear-ended me. The main reason for this is that the one-touch engine stop system is designed to allow the engine to be turned off without pressing the brake pedal at low speeds or when the vehicle is stationary. However, the vehicle instantly loses power assistance, such as brake boost and steering becoming heavier, which increases the risk of an accident. So now I've developed the habit of always pressing the brake when stopping, and I also remind everyone to check the system status before driving—don't take shortcuts for convenience. Additionally, this kind of operation might cause slight interference to the vehicle's electronic systems, so it's advisable to have a full vehicle inspection regularly just in case.
