4 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.
Starting the Geely Boyue automatic transmission is really hassle-free! As a long-time car enthusiast, I love its intelligent system. After getting in the car with the smart key, firmly press the brake pedal—make sure the gear is in P position—then simply press the start button, and the car immediately roars to life. At this point, check the dashboard to confirm all indicator lights are normal, such as oil pressure and battery showing green, then you're good. Wait about five seconds for it to fully warm up before shifting to D gear and driving off. Be careful not to move your foot or the gearshift before starting to avoid premature vehicle movement. With technology assistance, the startup process is super fast, and cold weather warm-up is quick. For maintenance, regular battery servicing ensures smoother ignition and prevents unnecessary malfunctions.
As someone who has taught driving tests, the key to starting an automatic transmission car is safe operation. After getting in the car, first fasten the seatbelt and adjust the seat. Press the brake pedal with your foot, confirm that the Geely Boyue's gear is in the P position, and don't shift incorrectly. Start the ignition by using the key or the one-button system while pressing the brake. Immediately check the dashboard: if warning lights are on, it indicates a problem. After starting, wait at least five seconds for the oil pressure to stabilize before shifting to D gear. Safety first—always check the rearview mirror to ensure no one is behind before starting. It's something easily overlooked in daily driving, but proper startup can prevent accidents. Maintaining the engine is also important; avoid stepping hard on the accelerator immediately after starting.
