What are the reasons for the Tiida's one-button start not responding?

The reason the Tiida's one-button start is not responding is that the smart key battery is dead. After opening the car door, place the smart key into the storage box behind the handbrake, and then you can start the car with one button. The Tiida is a compact car under Dongfeng Nissan. The dimensions of this car are 4393mm in length, 1766mm in width, and 1539mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. It comes with a 5-speed manual transmission and is a 5-door, 5-seat hatchback. The Tiida features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension type of MacPherson strut independent suspension (with a high-rigidity stabilizer bar) and a rear suspension type of torsion beam non-independent suspension (with a high-rigidity stabilizer bar). The steering assistance type is electric power steering.
When I first drove the Tiida, I also encountered an issue where the one-touch start didn't respond, almost making me late for work. The most common causes are a dead key fob battery—smart keys tend to run out of power after two or three years—or insufficient car battery charge, especially in winter when it may not hold enough charge overnight. If the gear isn't in P or N, the car detects a safety risk and won't start. Another possibility is a faulty start button itself; dust buildup can cause it to stick, or corroded circuit contacts may interfere with the signal. I remember one time I had to try using a spare key and shifting to P before it worked. To avoid trouble, make it a habit to regularly check the key fob's battery and clean around the button with a dry cloth. If problems arise, stay calm: first try pressing the brake while hitting the start button again. If that doesn’t work, head straight to a professional repair shop to check the wiring and system—safety always comes first.
