Geely Emgrand GL hidden features are as follows: Trunk escape route: Fold down the rear seats to access the trunk, which requires crawling forward, then pull out the mechanical key, insert it into this small hole, and slide it in one direction to open. If the car is submerged in water, prioritize opening the door to escape or exiting through the windows; the trunk should be the last resort. Child safety lock: Although Geely has adopted Volvo's door technology, requiring the door handle to be pulled twice to open, it's safer to lock it when children are seated alone in the back. Once locked, the door can only be opened from the outside. Adjustable seat belt height: Press down on this buckle to adjust the seat belt position up and down, matching the seat belt to the passenger's height for comfort, avoiding neck strain, and ensuring safety to maximize the seat belt's effectiveness. Rear reading light: Located overhead, it's easy to overlook due to the 'light under the lamp' effect. The brightness of this light is decent, but it's not recommended to keep it on for long periods because excessive interior brightness at night can visually impair driving. Remote key window control: This feature is very practical. Sometimes after turning off the engine, if you find the windows aren't closed, you don't need to start the engine to power up; simply long-press the lock button, and the windows will automatically close. Follow-me home: After the car is turned off, the headlights can automatically stay on for a set period. This helps illuminate the way home in dimly lit parking lots. Additionally, the duration of the light delay can be adjusted, typically around 30 to 50 seconds.
During my time driving the Emgrand GL, I discovered some handy tricks with the remote key: holding the unlock button for more than three seconds automatically rolls down all windows, which is super convenient for ventilating the car in summer before getting in. If you forget to close the windows when locking the car, a long press on the lock button will automatically roll them up. Another feature is accessing the dashboard settings: when the screen is on, simultaneously press the up directional button and the volume button to enter a hidden menu where you can adjust screen brightness or sound modes, like bass boost, which is quite practical. The auto-lock feature is also tucked away in the settings—doors automatically lock when the speed exceeds 20 km/h, adding peace of mind while driving. These little functions aren’t fully covered in the manual but make daily use much easier. The Emgrand GL’s thoughtful small designs really show attention to detail.
