push button start

Press to start

Push button start is an ignition system that starts a vehicle's engine with the press of a button rather than turning a key.

The system detects a key fob nearby and allows the driver to start the car while the fob stays in a pocket or bag: I love push button start—no more fumbling for keys.

Also called keyless ignition or keyless start.
