What is the correct way to use one-key start?
2 Answers
The correct way to use one-key start is: 1. The driver presses the start button once to turn on the ACC light, then presses it again to initiate the vehicle's self-check; 2. Depress the brake pedal and press the start button to ignite the engine; 3. Release the foot brake and choose to warm up the engine in place, the duration can be adjusted according to the environment; 4. Step on the brake again, shift to D gear, and release the handbrake; 5. Slowly release the foot brake, gently press the accelerator, and the start is complete. It is not necessary to follow these steps every time you start the vehicle, as long as you ensure that the first start of the day involves pressing the start button twice to allow the vehicle to complete its self-check before ignition. The parking method for one-key start models: 1. Depress the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a smooth stop; 2. Shift the gear from D to N and engage the handbrake.
As a seasoned driver, I find one-button start really convenient, but it must be used correctly. The proper procedure is: After sitting in the driver's seat, fasten your seat belt first—safety comes first. For automatic transmission vehicles, you must press the brake pedal—this is the crucial step; for manual transmissions, you might need to press the clutch. When ready, hold the start button with your finger for about one second—don't press hard or repeatedly poke it, as the system will sense and start the engine. During startup, pay attention to the dashboard; if the self-check lights flash normally, you're good to go. A common mistake is pressing the button without stepping on the brake, which won't start the car and may wear out the control system. Keep the key in your pocket or bag to maintain proximity; if the battery is low or the remote is too far, the system won't work. Developing this habit saves fuel and reduces engine issues. After starting, don't rush to accelerate—let it idle for about 30 seconds to warm up the engine. In short, don't skip these details—they make driving smoother and reduce safety risks.
