How to remotely start the Hongqi H5?
2 Answers
Press the lock button on the smart key. Press and hold the circle button at the bottom left for 5 seconds until the turn signals flash, indicating the car has started. When the engine is remotely started, the wipers, lights, and audio system remain off, while the security system stays on. The engine will run for a maximum of 10 minutes, and this can be extended for another 10 minutes by repeating the same procedure. If the car owner unlocks the door, enters the vehicle, steps on the brake pedal, and presses the start button within the given time, the computer will activate all systems.
I've been researching the Hongqi H5 for quite some time. The remote start mainly relies on the smart key or mobile app. For key operation, first press the lock button, then hold the start button for about 5 seconds until you see the lights flash, indicating the engine has started. The mobile app is more convenient—download the Hongqi Zhilian APP, bind your vehicle, and simply tap the remote start icon. It's super practical in winter for pre-heating the car, as the air conditioning automatically turns on to the set temperature, and it can also pre-cool the cabin in summer. However, note that the car must be in P gear, the fuel tank shouldn't be empty, and the doors remain locked after starting—you'll need the key nearby to drive away. It might fail in areas with poor signal or beyond 30 meters, so it's best to operate within that range.
