3 Answers
To release the anti-theft lock on Emgrand: Press the XODE button, enter the password, and then press the RESET button to unlock. Taking the Emgrand 2020 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4599 mm, width 1747 mm, height 1482 mm, with a wheelbase of 2615 mm. The Emgrand 2020 is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 109 HP, maximum power of 80 kW, maximum torque of 142 N·m, and is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. It features MacPherson independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
Last time I encountered my Geely Vision's anti-theft system being locked, I was also extremely anxious. It turned out the remote key fob battery was dead, and replacing it with a new one solved the problem. Alternatively, try starting the car with the spare key - that might successfully unlock it. If that still doesn't work, you can disconnect the negative terminal of the car battery for a few minutes before reconnecting it; sometimes this resets the system. When I was operating in my garage, I also discovered that areas with strong signal interference (like near high-voltage power lines or too many electronic devices) can trigger the anti-theft system. If all else fails, you'll have to visit the dealership - they have specialized tools to reprogram keys and usually resolve it within ten minutes. I recommend regular key maintenance to avoid last-minute failures. Also, checking door locks and seatbelts is important, as an improperly closed door might cause the anti-theft lock.
When the anti-theft system is locked, it's best not to force it to avoid damaging the system. As someone who frequently works with cars, I suggest first checking if it was accidentally triggered—such as repeatedly pressing the lock button or a remote control mishap. If the key can unlock other doors but won't start the car, it might be a chip malfunction or a dead battery. Try replacing it with a CR2032 battery; it's a simple operation. If that doesn't work, disconnecting the power to reset is the safest method, but remember that clock and radio settings will be reset. Preventive measures include regularly checking the key's signal strength and avoiding excessive vibration of the key. Visiting a professional shop is a wise choice; they use diagnostic tools to identify module issues, and the cost is reasonable.
