What is the starting method for a car with one-button start?

One-button start car starting method: Press the brake and press the one-button start button once. Precautions for using one-button start are as follows: Steering wheel lock: When the engine start/stop button is in the OFF state, the steering wheel is locked to prevent theft; when the door is opened or the smart key is removed from the smart key cylinder, the steering wheel will automatically lock. Generally, when the engine start/stop button is in the ACC state, the steering wheel will automatically unlock. If the steering wheel does not unlock normally, you can release the tension and unlock the steering wheel by turning the steering wheel left and right while pressing the engine start/stop button. Turning off the engine while driving: In case of an emergency while the vehicle is moving, the engine can be turned off by pressing the engine start/stop button for more than 3 seconds or pressing it three times consecutively. At this time, the power will switch to the ACC state.
I find the one-button start feature very convenient for daily driving. I remember one morning driving to work, after getting in the car, I first made sure the key was in my pocket or placed on the center console, not too far away otherwise it wouldn't be detected. Then I sat in the driver's seat and pressed the brake pedal all the way down - you must press it completely, otherwise the car might only power on without starting the engine. Next, I lightly pressed that big start button, usually located near the center console. With one press, the engine starts and the dashboard lights up very intuitively. If there's no response, it might be due to a weak key battery or signal interference, like when placed in a metal box. After starting, the car will shake slightly, which is normal. To turn off the engine, just press the button again - it's very convenient. On rainy days when going out, I often remind my friends not to forget to put the car in P gear, ensuring it's safely parked before walking away to prevent the car from rolling.
Operating a push-to-start car isn't complicated. After experiencing and solving several malfunctions, I've learned quite a bit. The key steps are just three: get in and close the door, ensure the smart key is within the car's range; press the brake pedal to ensure safety lock; finally, press the engine start button to ignite. If you don't press the brake, the button might only activate ACC mode to power the radio. After starting, listen to the engine sound and check the tachometer to confirm success. An extra tip from me: replace the key battery every 1-2 years to avoid startup issues. Sometimes when starting in a garage, open the window for ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide buildup. These little details are what I often share with beginners to enhance driving safety.
