Let me start from the beginning of Geely's history. In the 1980s and 1990s, Li Shufu initially made his start by producing refrigerator parts, and it wasn't until 1997 that Geely truly entered the automotive industry, launching economical models like the Haoqing, which imitated Toyota. At that time, the cars were cheap but often had minor issues, such as unresponsive brakes or excessive noise. Later, Geely penetrated rural and small city markets with its low-price strategy and sold quite well. After 2000, they independently designed the Free Cruiser, improving quality gradually and building some reputation. The game-changer came in 2010 with the bold acquisition of Volvo, absorbing international safety standards and making increasingly reliable cars. Nowadays, new models like the Xingyue adopt electric platforms, featuring luxurious interiors and enhanced performance. Geely's transformation from a copycat to a leading brand mirrors the leap of China's automotive industry—every time I test drive a new model, I can't help but give it a thumbs up.

Reasons for Stripes Appearing on the Car's Central Control Screen?

The following are the related reasons for stripes appearing on the central control screen: 1. Poor line contact: The screen distortion on the car's central control screen may be largely due to poor line contact. It is necessary to promptly check whether there is any loose connection in the lines. 2. Aging of power signal lines: It could also be due to the aging of power signal lines. You can try replacing them with new ones. If the issue is resolved, it indeed indicates a problem with the power signal lines. 3. Failure of the car's multimedia module: The probability of this situation is relatively higher. Sometimes, due to the abundance of electronic products in the car's multimedia system, the content displayed on the large screen becomes too much, leading to interference between internal modules. This can easily cause issues with the car's multimedia system, and repeated restarts may not help. The only solutions are to restore factory settings or go to a 4S store for a system reflash.

What Does It Mean When the Car Key Light Stays On?

When the car key warning light comes on, it indicates that there may be an issue with the car's anti-theft system or the car key itself. Possible causes include a dead car key battery or an engine malfunction. Here are some relevant details: 1. Car Key: The primary function of a car remote key is to remotely lock and unlock the car doors. In addition to controlling the doors, it can also operate the windows and the trunk, both of which are commonly used in daily life. For instance, when you want to increase air circulation inside the car for ventilation or to remove odors, you can simply use the key to roll down the windows. 2. Working Principle: When the owner presses a button on the key, the key sends out a signal. This signal contains specific command information. The car's antenna receives the radio signal, and after authentication by the Body Control Module (BCM), the actuator performs the lock/unlock action.
