Press the release button on the back of the smart key fob to extract the mechanical key, then use the left front door lock cylinder for mechanical unlocking. Depress the brake pedal and ensure the gear is in P position. Place the side of the smart key fob with the Geely logo firmly against the start button.
I've personally experienced this situation. When the key fob for the Geely Borui runs out of battery, don't panic. First, check the side or bottom of the key fob - there's usually a small button that releases a hidden physical key. Use this to pry open the driver's door lock and get inside. Once seated in the car, look for the induction point (mine requires holding the key close to the start button near the lower right of the steering wheel for several seconds), then press the brake and try starting. Sometimes when the battery is completely dead, you might need to wait longer during startup. I recommend keeping a spare key in the car or your bag, and regularly replacing the button cell battery to prevent this. The car's design is quite user-friendly, with simple and effortless operation.
As an experienced driver with years of driving, here's how to handle a dead key fob for the Geely Borui: First, remove the physical key to unlock the door. Once inside, if the start button doesn't respond, push the key directly into the button's induction zone to start the engine, while pressing the brake pedal for assistance. A depleted battery can cause short-circuit issues, so promptly check backup measures. It's recommended for car owners to master basic maintenance, such as DIY battery replacement, which is safe and reliable. Most importantly, avoid disassembling the key randomly to prevent damage to the chip.
