push-button start

Press to start

Push-button start is a vehicle ignition system that uses a button rather than a traditional key.

The driver carries a key fob that the car detects automatically; pressing the start button while the fob is nearby starts the engine.

The feature has become standard on most new vehicles: I love not having to dig for my keys with push-button start.
