Geely Boyue starting methods vary depending on the transmission type: 1. Manual transmission: Start the car in neutral, depress the clutch and engage first gear, slowly release the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator, release the handbrake when reaching semi-engagement state, and fully release the clutch after moving forward; 2. Automatic transmission: Depress the brake pedal, press the start button and shift to D gear, release the handbrake and brake pedal, then press the accelerator to drive. Taking the 2021 Boyue Manual 2WD Standard as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category with body dimensions of 4519mm in length, 1831mm in width, 1694mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2670mm.

I've been driving a Geely Boyue for almost two years now and have some experience to share about starting it up. First, sit in the driver's seat and close the door for safety, then fasten the seatbelt—this is an absolute must. Adjust the seat and rearview mirror to a comfortable position. Press the brake pedal firmly with your right foot while sitting upright. Most Boyue models come with keyless start, so just keep the key in your pocket or place it in the center console sensing area, then press the engine start button (located next to the gearshift) for one or two seconds until the engine fires up—you'll hear a slight rumble. After starting, quickly check the dashboard for fuel level, coolant temperature, and any warning lights. I recommend waiting about 20 seconds before shifting to D and driving off, especially in winter, to let the engine warm up and protect its components. A helpful tip is to always confirm the gear is in P before starting to avoid risks. Once you get used to the routine, the whole process becomes smooth.

As a novice who just got my hands on a Geely Boyue, I picked up the starting procedure pretty quickly. After getting in and closing the door securely, I always make sure to fasten the seatbelt tightly as a precaution. Then, I firmly press the brake pedal all the way down until it won't budge further—experienced drivers taught me this is a crucial step. The start button is located below the right side of the steering wheel; a single press fires up the engine. Once started, the dashboard lights illuminate, and I carefully check for any warning lights flashing. If the car doesn't start, don't panic immediately—first check if the key fob battery is low, if the brake pedal isn't fully depressed, or if the gear isn't in Park. Through daily practice, I've learned it's vital to scan the surroundings before starting to ensure no people or vehicles are approaching—safe driving begins with attention to detail.

From a technical perspective, starting the Boyue is quite intelligent. Basic steps: After getting in the car and fastening the seatbelt, press the brake pedal, and the keyless system will automatically unlock by sensing the key. Press the start button to trigger the ECU-controlled ignition, and the engine starts instantly. During the startup process, the computer completes a self-check to ensure normal oil pressure and circuit conditions. Safety settings ensure that the car can only be started when in P gear and with the brake pedal pressed. Simple, efficient, and user-friendly, suitable for all age groups.
