What is the correct way to use the one-button start in Volkswagen Sagitar?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Sagitar one-button start correct usage is: First press the start button, after the ACC light turns on, press the start button again, at this time the one-button start will turn green indicating vehicle self-check; After the vehicle completes self-check, depress the brake pedal and press the one-button start once more to start the engine. The Sagitar series is equipped with three engine options: 1.4TSI, 1.8TSI and 1.6L naturally aspirated, providing consumers with more choices. The Sagitar is a spacious A+ class comfort sedan featuring a mature 1.6L naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine technology with 4 valves per cylinder. Compared to the previous generation's 2 valves per cylinder, this configuration improves both intake and exhaust flow, enhancing low-speed torque and high-speed power output.
Operating the one-button start in the Volkswagen Sagitar is quite simple, and I do it every day when driving. After getting in the car, first ensure the key is inside the vehicle or in your pocket, then sit properly. Press the brake pedal firmly—don’t rush to press the button—and check if the surroundings are safe. Once the brake is firmly pressed, push the round start button on the center console, and the engine will start, with indicator lights illuminating on the dashboard. If you press the button without stepping on the brake, it only enters ACC mode, allowing you to listen to music but not drive, which can drain the battery quickly. The same applies when parking: press the brake and then the button to turn off the engine. Why emphasize pressing the brake? To prevent accidental operation, especially when children are in the car. I recommend checking the key battery regularly to avoid being unable to start the car due to a dead battery. New drivers shouldn’t panic—take it slow and develop the habit of fastening the seatbelt while starting the car. This ensures safety, peace of mind, and extends the vehicle’s lifespan.
