What does it mean when the Honda CRV displays 'Check Starting System'?

[Duarte]

When the Honda CRV displays 'Check Starting System', it means the vehicle's anti-theft system cannot detect the signal from the car key. This prompts the driver to check the vehicle's starting system, specifically the one-button start system. In such cases, you can place the key in the sensing area—either on the one-button start key or in the storage slot next to the gearshift—to perform an emergency start, and then proceed to a service station for further inspection. Below is an introduction to the functions of the one-button start system: 1. Automatic Locking: When the driver turns off the engine and leaves the vehicle, simply closing the doors will automatically lock them and activate the anti-theft system. 2. Door Open Alert: If any side door or trunk is not properly closed when leaving, the vehicle will emit a warning sound to remind the driver to secure the doors, preventing potential damage or loss of valuables. 3. Disabling Anti-Theft Alert: During the anti-theft alert, briefly press the unlock button once to unlock the doors; the horn will sound twice and then go silent. The anti-theft horn will not sound, and the lights will flash twice.
