The push button start system on the Honda HR-V is generally reliable, so you're unlikely to experience many issues. If you find that the vehicle is not starting when you push the button, or if it takes 2-3 attempts before it does, the first thing to check is the small lithium battery in your key fob as they have a short lifespan and are easy to replace. Additionally, if it has been more than three years since you replaced your car's battery, it may be worth checking to ensure that it is still providing enough power. Lastly, when using the push button, make sure to firmly press on the brake pedal as insufficient pressure may prevent the car from starting.

    The HRV is well-known for experiencing problems with the push-to-start button unrelated to the lithium battery in the key fob. I received a recall notice regarding this issue on my 2016 HRV.

    I've been dealing with issues related to the push start feature in my 2016 HR-V for over a year. It's not an issue with the key fob battery. Strangely, it tends to happen more frequently during the colder months, even though it worked perfectly fine all summer. I was hoping for a simple solution, like changing the key fob battery, but it looks like I'll need to bring it to a mechanic for further diagnosis.

    The primary issues with starting the Honda HR-V using the push button are often caused by the key fob running out of battery power.
