The steps to shut down a car with one-push start are: 1. Depress the brake pedal to ensure the vehicle is stationary, then shift the gear to N; 2. Pull up the handbrake; 3. Shift to P gear and release the brake; 4. Turn off any unnecessary electrical devices in the car; 5.

Starting the car with a push-button start is simple and convenient. I always make sure the key is in my pocket or within the effective range inside the car, then I sit in the driver's seat. To start, firmly press the brake pedal first—this is a crucial step to prevent accidental engine ignition and potential hazards. Then, lightly press the start button, and the engine runs smoothly; the whole process takes just a few seconds. When turning off the engine, I always shift to P (Park) first, ensuring the car is completely stopped in a safe position, before pressing the same button to shut off the engine. Once, I forgot to press the brake, and the car didn't respond—later, I realized it was a safety feature. I also regularly check the key fob's battery to avoid signal issues due to low power. Remembering these steps helps even beginners get the hang of it quickly and avoid unnecessary trouble.
