What are the common faults in Geely's parking system?

[AnaRose]

Geely's parking system faults include the exclamation mark fault. This phenomenon occurs in traditional gasoline vehicles. Apart from a dead small battery, any other fault causes could indicate significant issues. Fault causes: After ruling out hardware problems, this fault is mostly related to software and system calibration issues. The main reasons are that the system detects the battery temperature exceeding preset safety values, or it detects sporadic fault signals, autonomously restricting certain vehicle functions. In this state, the vehicle cannot start or charge, remaining completely unresponsive like a dead car. Solutions: Similar to troubleshooting computer crashes or smartphone lag, restarting can resolve most issues. Pure electric vehicles can essentially be considered as large electronic devices, where all electronic systems and the main unit's power supply are managed by the small battery in the engine compartment.

That day in the garage, I ran into this exact issue. My Geely Boyue's automatic parking system suddenly went on strike—the radar kept beeping frantically, but the car didn't move an inch. After struggling for a while, I found out that the small radar sensor on the rear bumper was completely covered in mud, like it had been blindfolded. During the next car wash, I specifically asked the attendant to clean the sensor thoroughly, and sure enough, it worked perfectly again. Another buddy of mine had it worse—his Xingyue L's steering wheel went crazy during parking, and it turned out the side camera was coated with tree sap, making it look like frosted glass. So now, every time I get a car wash, I make sure the attendant polishes all 12 radar sensors and 4 cameras until they shine, especially after rainy days—those 'eyes' need timely cleaning.

After studying the Xingrui's automatic parking system manual, faults are typically categorized into three levels. At the hardware level, the most common issue is ultrasonic sensor failure, especially during winter when ice can cause false obstacle alerts. Some car enthusiasts have detected the C1632 fault code using an OBD scanner, which indicates a problem with the front radar circuit. At the software level, control module crashes are frequent; in such cases, holding the trackball on the left side of the steering wheel for 10 seconds forces a reboot of the APU module. The most severe issue is fusion perception failure, such as conflicts between the surround-view camera and millimeter-wave radar data, which requires a visit to the 4S shop to upgrade the ESP-HEV firmware. For daily maintenance, it's recommended to disable the waxing function of automatic car washes, as wax mist can clog the sensor vents.

Never ignore parking failure warnings! A colleague's Geely ICON suddenly lost its automatic braking function while reversing last week, resulting in a cracked rear bumper. The 4S inspection report stated: 'Electronic parking brake actuator hydraulic circuit leakage.' Any warning light related to the EPB system requires immediate parking for inspection. Another dangerous case involved a Boyue PRO owner whose vehicle suddenly accelerated forward during automatic parking. Diagnosis revealed that three wires in the gateway controller harness near the longitudinal beam had been chewed through by rats. So when the dashboard displays 'Please check parking assist system,' never take chances—immediately pull over, power off and restart. If it fails, call for roadside assistance right away.

The most frustrating issue I've encountered was the remote parking failure on the Geometry C. The mobile app always displayed 'Weak environmental signal', when in reality the garage's 4G signal was blocked by reinforced concrete walls. The solution was surprisingly simple: enable the Bluetooth direct parking connection in vehicle settings, then press your phone against the driver's window to operate it. Another common issue is fogging on the multifunctional camera at the top of the windshield, which triggers a 'Front camera obstructed' warning during rainy weather. I've developed a habit of cleaning the camera area with chamois before driving. If you frequently see 'Parking system unavailable' alerts, remember to check the 15A fuse labeled F37 in the fuse box located on the right side of the trunk.

My newly purchased Xingyue L has turned me into a mobile parking pole. Once, it absolutely refused to recognize a parallel parking spot, only to find out later that the old parking lines on the ground had faded. Actual tests show that parking spots with auxiliary lines have a recognition success rate over 40% higher than blank spots. The funniest moment was when the system mistook a fire hydrant's shadow for an obstacle—the sudden brake stop nearly made me throw up from the seatbelt's tight grip. Now I've figured out some tricks: turn on the low beams in advance to help the cameras in low light, and use a tissue to dry water droplets on the door handles after rain (where the millimeter-wave radar is located). If the system acts up, turning off the engine and locking the car for ten minutes to let the onboard computer fully reboot works better than any reset method.
