Käynnistyspainikkeella

Käynnistyspainikkeella is a Finnish term that translates to "with a start button" or "push-button start" in English. It refers to a keyless ignition system found in modern vehicles. Instead of inserting a traditional metal key into an ignition cylinder to start the engine, the driver presses a button.

The system typically involves a smart key or key fob that the vehicle recognizes wirelessly. When the driver enters the car with the fob, the vehicle's immobilizer system is disarmed, and it becomes ready to start. To initiate the engine, the driver presses the designated start button, usually located on the dashboard or center console.

The käynnistyspainikkeella system offers convenience and a modern aesthetic. It eliminates the need to fumble for a key in the dark or during bad weather. In many implementations, the engine will also stop when the button is pressed again while the vehicle is in park or neutral, or when the brake pedal is depressed. This technology has become increasingly common in new car models across various segments due to its user-friendly nature.
