Precautions for novice drivers when driving the Geely Xingrui are as follows: 1. Warm up the car in advance: The Geely Xingrui 2.0T is equipped with an advanced one-key ignition start system. Even with one-key start, the car still needs to be "warmed up," although the current warming process differs from the traditional idle warm-up. After getting in the car, first adjust the seat to a suitable position and fasten the seatbelt. 2. Speed control: During the "break-in period," it is best to keep the speed between 40 km/h and 100 km/h. Driving at excessive speeds places a greater burden on the vehicle compared to moderate speeds. Always accelerate gradually and avoid maintaining the same speed for extended periods. During the first 300-500 kilometers of a new car, frequent sudden acceleration or deceleration can cause the car to adapt poorly.

For new drivers hitting the road with the Geely Xingrui, I recommend prioritizing safety—avoid driving too fast and apply brakes/acceleration gently to prevent skidding. Maintaining a safe distance is crucial, especially in urban traffic or on highways; using adaptive cruise control if available is even better. While the Xingrui features active safety systems like Lane Keeping Assist, beginners shouldn’t over-rely on them—practice steering control first. Staying focused is key: avoid distractions like phones or overly loud music, which significantly increase accident risks. Familiarize yourself with emergency light and hazard alarm switch locations in case of sudden breakdowns. For the first few weeks, stick to familiar routes and avoid peak hours—this car has stable handling but still requires a break-in period. Take time to learn dashboard warning light meanings, and pull over immediately if anything seems abnormal.

When I first got my Xingrui, I focused on getting familiar with the tech features. The touchscreen and navigation system are quite smart, but beginners might feel overwhelmed. I recommend practicing basic settings first—don’t rush to connect Wi-Fi or Bluetooth until you’re sure the connection is stable to avoid distractions. The steering wheel controls for music and calls should be tested a few times beforehand to prevent fumbling while driving. Checking tire pressure monitoring and fuel consumption display became a daily habit—Xingrui’s Eco mode is really practical, activating it helps save some fuel. Be flexible with parking; the rearview camera is helpful, but don’t rely on it to hone your skills—beginners should find empty spots to practice a few times. Cabin temperature settings are often overlooked; in summer, avoid setting the auto AC too cold to prevent fatigue. Always check the spare tire and toolkit in case of emergencies.

Driving the new Geely Xingrui, my focus is on fuel efficiency and peace of mind. Avoid stepping hard on the throttle when starting; smooth acceleration helps save fuel, and the Xingrui maintains good average fuel consumption in the city. Keep an eye on the tachometer to avoid high RPMs—staying below 2500 RPM is beneficial for engine break-in. New drivers often overlook tire pressure and oil level warnings, so make it a habit to check these on the dashboard regularly. Don’t set the air conditioning too high; use a reasonable mix of internal and external circulation to ensure fresh air, and opening windows occasionally is healthier for ventilation. While the automatic headlights work well at night, manually confirming their operation can prevent potential hazards. For commuters, avoiding congested routes reduces sudden stops, benefiting both the car and your wallet. Don’t exceed the first maintenance interval of 3,000 km—timely checks extend the car’s lifespan.

As a daily driver, I emphasize comfort when driving the Xingrui. Adjusting the seat to the right position is key—beginners should avoid bending over to reach for things randomly to ensure a clear view. Noise control is important; it's fine to open windows at low speeds, but keep them closed at high speeds to avoid distractions. Set the air conditioning to a comfortable temperature, not too cold, and use the recirculation mode to enhance comfort. Keep the audio and entertainment system volume low to avoid missing important road sounds. Avoid cluttering the trunk—traveling light makes parking easier for beginners. Additionally, understanding the suspension system helps adapt to road conditions, and gently navigating speed bumps improves shock absorption. During the break-in period, drive more on smooth roads to allow the engine and transmission to work together seamlessly.
