Steps to turn off a car with one-button start are as follows: 1. Press the brake: Stop the car smoothly and keep the brake pressed throughout the parking process. 2. Shift the gear to N, then pull the handbrake (for electronic handbrakes, simply lift it up). 3. Shift the gear to P. 4. Release the foot brake and press the one-button start button to turn off the power and complete the parking. Precautions during operation are as follows: 1. The handbrake should be engaged before shifting to P, meaning pull the handbrake first, then shift to P. 2. When the car is subjected to external force, engaging the handbrake first means the handbrake bears the force, while shifting to P first means the transmission bears the force.
I'm a new driver who just started driving recently, and the first time I used a car with a one-button start, I was confused about how to turn it off. After parking, I just pressed the button directly, only to hear an alarm sound while the car remained on. Later, I asked a friend and learned the correct steps: the proper method is to shift to Park (P) after the car is fully stopped, keep your foot on the brake pedal, and then press the start button once to truly shut off the engine. Don’t forget to engage the electronic parking brake to prevent rolling, and check the dashboard to confirm the engine-off indicator is lit. Remembering this sequence is crucial—it protects the battery from draining and extends its lifespan. If the steps are incorrect, the car might get stuck in ACC mode and keep consuming power. New drivers with such cars should practice several times to get the hang of it.
