What Are the Reasons for Push-Button Start Not Igniting?

[VanKarter]

Push-button start not igniting can be due to the following reasons: 1. Steering wheel lock: The steering wheel lock is a simple anti-theft feature. In the locked state, the push-button start function will not work. Solution: Turn the steering wheel left and right while pressing the push-button start to release tension and unlock the steering wheel. 2. Gear not in Park (P) position: This is an important safety logic set by manufacturers to prevent the vehicle from moving unexpectedly during ignition. If the gear is in Reverse (R) or Drive (D), the vehicle could lurch forward or backward upon ignition. Solution: Shift the gear back to Park (P) before attempting to start. 3. Smart key battery dead: When the smart key's battery is low, its signal strength is too weak for the car's sensors to detect, preventing push-button start from working. Solution: Most smart keys come with a mechanical key that can be inserted into the ignition slot to start the car manually. 4. New car not started with brake pedal pressed: Push-button start vehicles require the brake pedal to be pressed during ignition. Solution: Press the brake pedal before pushing the start button.
