What are the reasons for the non-response of the Volkswagen Lavida one-button start?
2 Answers
Lavida one-button start non-response reasons are as follows: 1. Smart key battery depletion: This situation is most likely due to the smart key battery being depleted, causing the start system to fail to detect the weak signal emitted by the smart key. You can pick up the smart key and place it on the start button, then press the button to start. 2. Insufficient battery voltage, no power, or damage: Failure to start may be due to reasons such as leaving the headlights on for a long time, resulting in battery depletion or the battery reaching the end of its lifespan. Generally, the battery should be replaced in time according to the maintenance manual. If the battery is dead, you can use another battery to start or use the push-start method to start the car.
Last week I also encountered the issue of the Lavida's one-button start failing, and it took me a long time to figure out the cause. First, check the battery of the smart key—replacing the battery in my spare key solved the problem. Second, there could be a battery drain issue; I borrowed my neighbor's car to jump-start mine, and later testing revealed the battery was five years old and needed replacement. I’ve also made the rookie mistake of not shifting to P gear, especially when parking temporarily. If none of these are the issue, the start button might have poor contact—once, I lightly tapped the button area, and it miraculously worked again. Lastly, a less common situation is a locked steering wheel; remember to try holding the start button while turning the steering wheel.
