How to Operate the Remote Start Feature on the Geely Binyue?

Within 50 meters while the vehicle is locked, use the key to first press the lock button, then hold down the start button (long press the circular button) within two seconds to remotely start the engine. Additional information about the car's remote start feature is as follows: 1. The Geely Binyue's remote start function activates the engine via the car's remote key. Its working principle is: the vehicle starts the engine or motor based on signals received from the remote key. This feature is highly utilized in cold regions. Moreover, when the engine or motor is running, the central locking system remains engaged, ensuring safety. 2. The remote start control system can only be installed in automatic transmission models. This is because automatic transmissions are equipped with a TCU control unit, which informs the ECU engine control unit about the gear position. The engine will only start when the onboard computer confirms the gear is in the P (Park) position, preventing accidental vehicle movement. Aftermarket installations lack this protective feature.

Operating the remote start feature on the Geely Binyue is actually pretty cool. I know many owners love preheating their cars in winter. First, you need to download the Geely Link App to your phone, log in to your account, select your vehicle model, and then tap the 'Remote Start' button. The whole process relies on mobile signals, so don’t go too far—it’s best to use Wi-Fi or 4G within 100 meters, otherwise it might fail. The car automatically checks for unlocked doors or obstacles before starting, which is a safe design. Remember, after starting, the engine will run for 5-10 minutes and then shut off automatically, preheating the AC and engine—super convenient. If the App won’t open, check your phone’s internet connection or update the App. Using this feature regularly can extend battery life and prevent cold-weather wear, but avoid using it frequently in heavy rain to minimize risks. In short, try tapping a few more times—it gets easier once you’re used to it.

I use the Binyue's remote start feature every day, saving a lot of time before driving. The steps are simple: open the Geely Link App on your phone, enter the password to access the homepage, find your car icon, and tap the remote start button—done. Usually, it takes effect in seconds with good signal, indicated by flashing headlights. In winter, starting early warms up the cabin with hot air, while in summer, it cools down with AC, making it much more comfortable. However, it's best to operate in an open parking area, ensuring no people or pets are nearby to avoid accidents. If the App freezes occasionally, restarting the phone usually fixes it—I've tried it a few times without issues. This feature requires the vehicle's built-in module support, which newer models generally have, while older ones may need manual confirmation. Remember not to rely on it too frequently; starting once a week for maintenance is enough to keep the driving experience smooth.

The core of remote start operation is safety first. First, confirm that the Geely Binyue supports this feature, then download the Geely Link App and log in for verification. Ensure the area around the car is safe and unobstructed before starting. After selecting the option in the App, the engine will automatically run for a few minutes. However, avoid using it in enclosed garages due to the high risk of carbon monoxide. Weak signals may cause failure, which can be resolved by improving network connectivity. Before operation, check the App settings to ensure permissions are enabled to avoid accidental activation. Regularly maintain the vehicle system to prevent remote control malfunctions. Safe driving is crucial; if the start fails, do not force it—disable the function and wait for professional inspection.
