Ease of use is designed for each person to choose
How to start the car is now common to push-start with the push of a button. It extends to light vehicles. The push-start system, which comes with a remote control key, eliminates the need to twist the key, so the convenience of being able to start with one touch is attractive. There is no need to search for the hole to insert the key at night. Push start is effective even when you are in a hurry.
On the other hand, there are still "prehistoric" cars that start by inserting the key into the cylinder and turning it, depending on the grade within the same model. It is not possible to choose the same grade, but mainly there is a ritual of twisting the key to the cheaper grade.

But the "old-fashioned" and troublesome specification of turning the key has some advantages. First of all, it has nothing to do with relay attack damage, which is becoming a hot topic now. Since the electronic key and the starter are communicated, the relay attack is possible, so the type that turns the key is safe in that respect.

Also, with push start, you can lock, unlock, and start the door even with the electronic key in your pocket or bag, but sometimes you don't know where the electronic key is. However, if you turn the key, you need to operate the key button to lock and unlock the door even with the remote control key, and you must insert the key into the cylinder to start the car, so you can't find the key. It's unlikely that you'll be able to do it.
The parking brake, which used to be a side lever type or a foot-operated type, is being replaced by an automatic or button-operated electronic parking brake. Although the foot-operated type has the advantage of being able to use the center console effectively, and it is possible to pass through the first and second row seats in minivans, etc., it has the disadvantage of having to step on it with considerable force and getting your shoes caught. or

People who drive using the handbrake aside, the electronic parking brake makes the area around the center console and the foot of the driver's seat neat, and has a hold function that automatically activates when stopped, so it's good. Full of things. However, as a disadvantage, there is no work to pull and step on, so the feeling that the parking brake is applied is weak, and the method of operation is not unified. Many high-end cars automatically apply the parking brake when the engine is turned off, and automatically release it when starting in the D range. This is the convenience of an electronic parking brake.

There are quite a few types where the parking brake is applied and released manually by operating a switch. There are a lot of situations where you forget to put it on or leave the electronic parking brake on while trying to start. At the same time, like the Odyssey HV, there are cars where the switch is operated in the opposite direction, which is troublesome. Generally, it is engaged when pulled up and released when pushed (same direction as the side lever type), but Odyssey HV is engaged when pushed and released when pulled up. Odyssey's petrol car has a foot-operated brake, so is it aligned with its direction of action? Of course, the ideal is fully automated.
For Toyota and Nissan navigation, you can select T-Connect Navi for Toyota and Nissan Connect Navi for Nissan. Speaking of what is different from just navigation, you will be able to use voice operator services via microphones, speakers, and communication equipment. You need to connect to a smartphone, but if your car is equipped with a dedicated in-vehicle communication device (docomo, au, Softbank SIM), you can use it without connecting to a smartphone.
Toyota's T-Connect Navi offers free communication for three years, and Nissan's Nissan Connect Navi offers free communication for one year. In the case of Toyota and Nissan, services such as remote control of destination setting, introduction of nearby repair shops, medical facilities and recommended restaurants (remote destination setting), as well as emergency (operator grasps the position of the vehicle with GPS). It's super convenient because it's there.

From now on, it is the trend of the "age" to choose connected navigation that allows you to move safely and comfortably.
