Using the traditional remote key: Press the [Lock] button on the key three times consecutively. Using the LCD key: After swiping up to unlock, press and hold the middle [START/STOP] button for about 2 seconds to start the engine. Navigate to the [Vehicle] menu, then enter the interface displaying the vehicle status and control buttons, locate the [Ventilate Now] button, and confirm.
My own car comes with a remote start feature, and it's very simple to operate. Just press the key fob five minutes before heading out to warm up the car. First, quickly press the lock button, wait for the indicator light to flash, then press and hold the start button for about three seconds. At this point, the car lights will flash twice, and the engine will start. It's especially useful in winter when temperatures drop below minus ten degrees Celsius—starting the car in advance ensures it's warm when you get in. It's also convenient in summer, as the air conditioning cools the car before you enter. However, there is a distance limitation; too many walls can interfere, so it's best to use it within a 50-meter range. If no doors are opened within ten minutes after the engine starts, the car will automatically shut off to prevent forgetting to turn it off. Before using it, make sure all doors are locked, the fuel level isn't too low, and no warning lights are on—otherwise, the feature won't work. For older cars, check the key fob's battery, as low power can cause malfunctions.
