Evoque wont start!

had a slightly unnerving moment this morning. Jumped in the car, foot on brake, press start button........nothing...just a yellow exclamation mark, and the instruction to depress brake pedal. All very odd. Tried to start it about 4 times, with the same result. Finally on the fifth time it sprang to life....weird

let's hope it doesn't happen again...

RE: Evoque wont start!

do you have keyless entry?

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

hmmm...maybe, although after the first failed attempt, I picked up the key, so i had it in my hand....even tried holding it under the steering column, to no avail....

Sounds like the sensor on your brake pedal may not be working properly. If it couldn't find the key you'd get a "Smart Key not found" error.

Probably worth taking it to the dealer as if it fails completely you'll be stranded.
