How to Operate the One-Button Start in a Geely Manual Transmission?
2 Answers
Geely New Emgrand is equipped with an electronic keyless start/one-button start switch, which is a push-button start. For the system to operate, the remote must be inside the vehicle. OFF: This position turns the engine off. When the start switch is in the OFF power mode, press the clutch pedal (MT) or brake pedal (CVT), the indicator light turns green, and press the start button once to directly start the vehicle. Additional relevant information is as follows: 1. ACC (Orange Light): This position allows you to use electrical accessories such as the radio and windshield wipers after the engine is turned off. When the engine is off, pressing this button once without pressing the clutch pedal (MT) or brake pedal (CVT) will place the start switch in the ACC position. When the start switch is in the ACC power mode, press the clutch pedal (MT) or brake pedal (CVT), the indicator light turns green, and press the start button once to start the vehicle. 2. Precautions: If the start switch remains in the ACC position after the engine is turned off, it can drain the battery. If the battery is drained for too long, it may not be possible to start the vehicle. ON (Orange Light): When the start switch is in the ACC position, pressing this button once without pressing the clutch pedal (MT) or brake pedal (CVT) will place the start switch in the ON position. Pressing the button once more will return the start switch to the OFF position. START: This position is used for driving and starting the vehicle. When the engine is off, press the clutch pedal (MT) or brake pedal (CVT), press and release the button, and the engine will start. When the start switch is in the START position, the engine will continue to start until the engine begins to operate.
My Geely manual transmission's one-button start operation is very simple. After entering the car, make sure the gear is in the neutral position, which is crucial because starting a manual car in gear poses risks. Then fully depress the clutch pedal with your foot until you feel it bottom out, and gently press the start button on the center console. The engine will start immediately with a loud sound. After starting, slowly release the clutch to avoid unstable idling. If the start fails, check the battery level or whether the clutch is fully depressed. I've driven other manual cars without this one-button feature before. While new technology brings convenience, it's essential to develop safe habits. When parking on a slope, use the handbrake to secure the wheels before starting to ensure they don't shift.
