What is the correct way to use the one-button start in the Levin?
3 Answers
When ready to start, the driver can press the start button once to illuminate the ACC light, then depress the brake pedal and press the one-button start key to ignite and start the engine. You may choose to warm up the car while stationary, with the duration depending on environmental conditions. The driver should maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead to reduce safety hazards. Shift to D gear, release the handbrake, gradually release the foot brake while gently pressing the accelerator to complete the one-button start procedure.
After getting seated comfortably, don't rush to start the car. The most stable way is to press the brake pedal before pressing the push-start button. The first press puts the car in accessory mode - the dashboard lights up but the engine remains off. Then press again while holding the brake until you hear the engine start. A useful tip: avoid turning on the AC immediately after starting, let the car 'catch its breath' first. For remote start, long-press the circular button on your key fob - especially handy for pre-warming in freezing weather. Important note: If the key battery is weak, pressing it directly against the push-start button can enable emergency starting.
Friends driving the Levin, remember to develop good habits: starting the engine while pressing the brake pedal is the most protective for your car. Keep the remote key within 15 meters, and long-pressing the start button can activate the air conditioning in advance. If you need to temporarily get out of the car to buy a bottle of water without turning off the engine? Just press the start button after getting out with the key to keep the engine running. Particularly useful in winter is the remote pre-heating function, starting it five minutes before getting in to warm up the water temperature. Remember to wait until the READY light on the dashboard is lit before shifting gears, and never attempt to restart the engine while in D gear.
