Usage method for remote start on Geely Emgrand GS: You need to download the Geely Interconnect mobile app. Through the app, you can send commands to control windows, sunroof, doors, etc. The principle of remote start is that the smart key sends a signal to the car to remotely start the engine. The Geely Emgrand GS features Geely's signature ripple-style front grille, with triangular chrome accents on the fog light areas of the lower bumper. The Geely Emgrand GS is a compact SUV with dimensions of 4440mm in length, 1833mm in width, and 1573mm in height. It is powered by gasoline, equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, has a maximum power of 104kw, and uses turbocharged intake.

I often drive this car to commute, and the remote start feature of the Emgrand GS is quite convenient, mainly operated via a mobile app. You need to download Geely's dedicated application first, such as the Geely Auto Connect App, then register and bind your vehicle on your phone. After logging in, you can find the remote start button on the main interface. When operating, remember to ensure your phone has an internet connection and the car is parked in an area with good signal. Just tap the start button, wait a few seconds, and the car will automatically start. In summer, you can turn on the air conditioning in advance to cool down, and in winter, it saves time for warming up the car. I usually start the car via the app five minutes before leaving, so the temperature inside is just right when I get in. Also, pay attention to app updates. If the remote start fails, try restarting your phone or check the vehicle settings for any errors. The key fob can also be used, but the app is more convenient since you don’t need to be near the car to control it.

I've been driving the Emgrand GS for several years and frequently use the remote start feature. It's simple to operate but has some tips. First, download the Geely App and bind your vehicle. The remote control interface will then display the start option—just press the button. However, remember that the car must be locked, and the battery level shouldn't be too low, otherwise, it won't start. I like to use the App to start the engine and preheat the air conditioning 10 minutes before driving, especially in winter—it's so comfortable stepping into a warm car. If there's no response, check your phone signal and App permissions, as it might be a data network issue. The remote button on the key also works: press the lock button twice, then the start button to activate the engine, which is more suitable for temporary use. Overall, the App is more practical—after binding, you can check fuel levels and GPS location. Don’t overlook safety: ensure the car is parked in a secure area when starting, and keep children or pets away from a running vehicle.

I've tried the remote start feature on the Emgrand GS, which is quick to get the hang of but requires a step-by-step approach. First, download Geely's app on your phone, register and bind your vehicle by entering the identification code for pairing. Then, simply click the start button on the control page. The startup is fast—success is indicated as soon as the engine roars, and the app will also notify you of the status. Using the key fob, a combination of pressing the unlock and then lock buttons also makes for a simple start. I feel the app version has greater advantages, allowing remote start and preheating, which is useful in both summer and winter, and even setting timed starts to save time. However, be mindful of battery health; frequent remote starts can drain the battery quickly, so regular maintenance can help extend its lifespan.
