What is the correct way to start the Lynk & Co 03?

Lynk & Co 03 correct starting method: First, press the brake pedal, then press the one-touch start button to ignite the vehicle, shift to D gear, and directly press the accelerator. The vehicle will automatically release the electronic parking brake while accelerating. When parking, after the vehicle comes to a complete stop, shift to P gear for parking. The vehicle will automatically engage the electronic parking brake. Release the brake and turn off the power without manually pulling the electronic parking brake. Below is an introduction to the model: The Lynk & Co 03 adopts a cockpit-style design similar to the 02, overall leaning towards the driver's side. It comes standard with a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel and a 10.2-inch central control screen that supports smartphone connectivity and internet functions. The Lynk & Co 03 is built on the global CMA architecture jointly developed by Geely and Volvo, featuring a family-style design language for both its exterior and interior, positioning it as a compact sports sedan.

I've figured out that starting the Lynk & Co 03 is quite particular: The first step after sitting in the driver's seat is to firmly press the brake pedal with your right foot—keep it steady without wobbling. Then locate and press the start button icon on the instrument panel, and the engine will immediately hum to life. If it's an automatic transmission, the gear lever must be in the Park position; otherwise, it won't move. The smart key can usually stay in your pocket or be placed in the central storage area—no need to take it out, thanks to the excellent sensing system. If the car doesn't respond, check the key's battery or move it closer to the sensing area to avoid weak signals from being too far away. The moment you start the car, the 'Ready' light on the dashboard will illuminate, indicating it's truly ready. On cold starts, the engine might hum a few extra seconds, which is normal. The key safety design prevents accidental operations—for example, pressing the start button without stepping on the brake will only power up the radio without starting the engine, reducing risks. As someone with over a decade of driving experience, I always remind friends not to forget the habit of pressing the brake and to regularly check that the brake sensors aren't dirty, ensuring smooth starts and worry-free long drives.

Here's how I start my Lynk & Co 03 daily: Firmly depress the brake pedal (make sure it's deep enough without tentative pressing), then press the ignition button until the engine sound confirms successful startup. Keep the key within sensing range - placing it on the passenger seat or in a bag corner works fine. For automatic transmission, always verify the gear is in Park position before starting. If unsuccessful, the key battery is likely weak - replace it for instant resolution. Once started with complete dashboard display, drive off without unnecessary button presses to conserve battery. Cold start delays are normal - avoid impatience. Developing consistent brake-pedal habits saves time and ensures safety. I always recommend weekly electronic system checks to prevent minor malfunctions.

As a beginner driver, I found starting the Lynk & Co 03 quite easy: sit in the driver's seat, firmly press the brake pedal, press the Start button until the light comes on and the engine starts, keep the key close to your body without placing it too far away, and for automatic transmission, check that the gear shift is in P position before moving. If it fails to start, check if the brake is pressed deep enough or if the key is positioned correctly. Most operations can be mastered quickly and conveniently with just one try. With a bit more practice as a beginner, you'll soon drive smoothly without worries.

Years of driving experience have made me appreciate the quick start of the Lynk & Co 03: sit firmly, press the brake pedal decisively without hesitation, tap the start button, and the engine fires up instantly—much more convenient than the old-fashioned key twist. Pressing the brake is crucial; otherwise, the engine won’t start due to the safety lock. Always confirm the gear is in Park—I’ve seen friends in a hurry forget to press the brake, thinking it was a malfunction for nothing. Timely maintenance of brake components ensures reliable starts and makes daily driving more effortless and comfortable.
