Which button to press for one-key start in a car?

For one-key start in a car, press the ENGINE START/STOP button located on the panel below the right side of the steering wheel. The one-key start is a component installed in smart vehicles, serving as a simplified button device for both ignition and engine shut-off. This system can be retrofitted either at the original key lock position or as an independent panel. The functions of one-key start include: 1. Intelligent door control - automatically closes doors when starting the vehicle and opens them when turning off; 2. Protection of the vehicle's power supply system by promptly cutting off fuel and electrical circuits; 3. Anti-theft feature - if the smart key runs out of battery or gets lost, pressing the one-key start button and entering the original activation code can deactivate the anti-theft mode.
It was quite interesting when I tried the one-push start for the first time after buying my car. The start button is usually located in a prominent position either below the right side of the steering wheel or on the upper part of the center console, labeled with "START ENGINE." When operating it, I make sure the smart key is in my pocket or within the car's sensing range before getting in, then sit firmly and press the brake pedal—this is crucial, as pressing the button without stepping on the brake may only activate the electronic systems, not the engine. Once, on a rainy day, the button was slippery, so I handled it carefully to avoid accidental presses. Different car models have varying button layouts; for example, my friend's car has the button near the armrest, but the principle remains the same—it requires coordination with the brake pedal. Keeping the button clean and free of dust can improve responsiveness. Convenient and safe, one-push start is now a standard feature in new cars, but if issues arise—like a dead key fob battery—replacing the battery and holding it close to the button may help. Overall, one-push start simplifies the driving process, making it easy even for new drivers, and reduces the hassle of fumbling for the keyhole at night.
