What is the correct way to start the 10th-generation Accord?
2 Answers
The correct way to start the 10th-generation Accord is: First, press the start button once. After the ACC light turns on, press the start button again. At this point, the one-touch start button will turn green, and the vehicle will perform a self-check. Once the self-check is complete, step on the brake and press the one-touch start button once more to start the vehicle. The 10th-generation Accord is a mid-size sedan under GAC Honda, with dimensions of 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, and 1449mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2830mm. In terms of power, the 10th-generation Accord is equipped with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 130kW and a maximum torque of 230Nm, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
As a new driver, I was a bit nervous when I first bought my 10th-generation Accord, but the starting procedure is actually quite simple. First, sit in the driver's seat and fasten your seatbelt—safety always comes first. Then, press down on the brake pedal; this is crucial because the start button won't respond otherwise. Next, with the smart key near the steering wheel, gently press the round button. When you hear the smooth sound of the engine turning over, you've succeeded. I always glance at the dashboard to make sure no warning lights, like the battery or oil indicators, are on. In winter, I usually wait a minute or two for the idle speed to stabilize to avoid accelerating sharply when the engine is cold, which can cause damage. The whole process takes less than 10 seconds, but developing good habits is important for extending the car's lifespan. Every time I start the car, I recall my driving instructor's advice—never overlook the details—which has helped me avoid many minor issues.
