Looks like the battery power is weak... Button start type ignition won't allow to crank the engine if the battery power is weak/low. Unlike the key pushing ignition type(mechinical type), U can still attempt to crank even the battery power is weak/low.

BTW, the Honda is farking stingy(should I say shitty cost down)... only 1 ground/earth cable on the battery connection. Unlike the rest of Jap Car manufacturer which offer 2 ground/earth cables(1 to body & 1 to engine) battery connection.

Goodluck to those 6 years+ Honda city users, you will experience the symptom
slow cranking during start up the engine due to cable oxidized(heat built up due to high resistance).

Why don't you go and look at other Jap brands car battery connections.
It should be 2 cable connections on the negative pole. 1 to engine, 1 to body.

Most of the car user never look into this til it caused problem on starting the engine.
Some still experiencing slow cranking after replaced a new battery.

It can be Quite annoying if 1st attempt cranking failure. I can't imagine what will happen in coming 5 years.

Dont worry, most of new car (lesser than 6 yrs)engine starting issue is battery related.
