Why Can't the One-Button Start Ignite the Engine?
1 Answers
Reasons and solutions for the one-button start failing to ignite the engine are as follows: 1. The steering wheel is locked, preventing ignition. If the steering wheel is not straightened when parking and remains at a slightly larger angle, it will automatically lock as an anti-theft measure. In this case, the key may not turn, causing ignition failure. Solution: Apply force to turn the steering wheel while simultaneously turning the key to unlock the steering wheel, then attempt to start the engine. 2. The smart key for the one-button start may have a low battery. Even if the key is inside the car, the dashboard may display 'key matching error' due to the weak signal emitted by the low-battery smart key, which the start system cannot detect. Solution: Place the smart key directly on the start button and then press the button to start. If the remote key has a low battery or fails to match correctly for other reasons, insert the key into the emergency backup key slot and press the start button to ignite the engine. 3. For new cars, the brake pedal must be pressed before using the one-button start. Pressing the start button without depressing the brake only activates the vehicle's electrical system but does not start the engine. Solution: Press the brake pedal before using the one-button start.
