Hi again - another question.... as I am new with the push button technology.

 

In my old car, I would turn the key to turn on the ignition (position "2" or something) wait for some electronic checks to complete (i.e. for some yellow and red lights on the dashboard to turn off) and then turn the key further to start the engine.

 

Moving to Octavia, there are two things I can do with the push button:

 

1 Brake and push the button to start the engine

2 Only push the button to turn on the ignition without starting the engine.

 

Doing the second (engine not on) there is like a dozen lights that turn on, some of which turn off after a few seconds.

 

Question is, before I start the engine, should I first turn the ignition on for any car's checks to complete, or I am not doing any harm when I just pop in, close the door and brake push start the engine straight away?

You can simply go ahead without the additional step. Car will do all the checks anyway and spin the engine when ready.

As wlange said, just press the brake, tap the Start button (you dont need to hold it just press it once).

The engine will do the necessary checks & start the engine when it is ready.

Thank you guys. Good to know that.
