The possible reason why the car won't start and the brake pedal is hard to press is that the vacuum booster pump of the brake has failed. The one-button start requires stepping on the brake to start the car. Pressing the button without stepping on the brake will only turn the vehicle's power on or off. Therefore, it is necessary to go to a 4S shop for repair as soon as possible. The correct ways to brake are as follows: 1. When driving at low speed and encountering an emergency ahead, you can perform emergency braking: step on the brake pedal firmly, but this should not be done at high speed to avoid vehicle skidding or rollover. 2. When driving under normal road conditions, you can brake slowly: while stepping on the clutch pedal, release the accelerator pedal, shift to a lower gear, and after the speed drops, lift the clutch pedal and step on the brake pedal until the car stops. 3. In situations where long downhill slopes in mountainous areas or continuous braking easily generate high temperatures: intermittent braking by alternately stepping on and releasing the brake pedal can effectively prevent the brake system from overheating.
