How to Properly Start a Geely Boyue Automatic Transmission?
2 Answers
To properly start a Geely Boyue automatic transmission, ensure the vehicle is stationary, depress the clutch pedal, and press the start button. Taking the 2021 Geely Boyue as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4519mm, width 1831mm, height 1694mm, with a wheelbase of 2670mm, fuel tank capacity of 58 liters, and curb weight of 1575kg. The 2021 Geely Boyue features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a multi-link non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.8L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 163PS, maximum power of 120kW, and maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
To properly start a Geely Boyue automatic transmission, as a driver with several years of experience, the first step is to ensure you are safely seated in the car. Then, press your foot on the brake pedal—this is crucial, otherwise the car may not move or an alarm might sound. The Geely Boyue is usually parked in P (Park) or N (Neutral) gear, so check the gear selector position; do not start the car directly in D (Drive) or R (Reverse). Next, turn the key to ignite the engine, or if equipped with a keyless system, press the start button while keeping your foot on the brake. After ignition, don’t rush to drive off; wait patiently for 10-15 seconds to let the engine warm up and ensure all indicator lights on the dashboard are functioning normally. Then, shift to D (Drive) gear, release the brake, and start moving. Once, I forgot to check the gear position before starting, which triggered the car alarm and made me a bit nervous. So, I’ve made it a habit to always scan the surroundings before starting, ensuring there are no people or obstacles for peace of mind. Consistently starting the car correctly can extend the engine’s lifespan.
