What is the Lynk & Co 03 remote start function?

[CharlotteFitz]

Automobile remote start function is to remotely start the engine or motor through the remote key. The following are the features of remote start: 1. High reliability: Since the remote start of the engine or motor is no different from manual ignition in terms of the vehicle's internal structure, there is no problem of mechanical wear of the heater, thus greatly reducing the probability of failure. 2. Whole vehicle heating: This function, like parking heating, raises the temperature of the radiator coolant, so whether it is the cabin, the engine, or the windows, they can all be effectively heated. 3. Automatic timing: Usually, if the remotely started engine or motor does not perform any operation after a period of time, the engine or motor will automatically shut down to avoid fuel waste caused by forgetting to turn it off.

I've been driving the Lynk & Co 03 for a while now, and I particularly love its remote start feature. Simply put, it allows me to start the car in advance via the mobile app without having to physically sit inside and turn the key. I use it most often in winter or summer. When I wake up in the morning, still cozy in bed, I open the Lynk & Co app, select the start option, and the car's engine fires up while the air conditioning automatically runs to preheat or precool the cabin. By the time I walk to the car, the interior temperature is just right, sparing me from enduring a freezing steering wheel or a blast of heat. The operation is super simple—the app interface has a start button, and it just takes a few confirmations. You can even set a timed start, like scheduling it for your regular commute time. For safety, the feature only works when the car is locked, preventing accidents, and the app has encryption protection. After using it, I find my outings much smoother, and I highly recommend giving it a try. This function is integrated into Lynk & Co's entire vehicle connectivity system, representing one of its smart upgrades.

Remote start is essentially an extension of vehicle connectivity, which I control via the Lynk & Co 03 app. The core principle involves sending a signal via the mobile network to the car's ECU unit, triggering the engine ignition while simultaneously activating the air conditioning system to pre-adjust the temperature. When operating, it's essential to ensure the vehicle is in a secure location, such as a home or office parking lot. The app verifies identity to prevent unauthorized use. I usually start the car 10 minutes early in extreme cold—warming up the engine reduces wear, and in summer, the cooling effect kicks in faster. The benefits go beyond comfort; it saves time by eliminating the need to wait for the engine to warm up—just get in and drive. The Lynk & Co app features an intuitive interface and supports customizable start cycles, like a 5-minute duration. A minor drawback is slower connectivity with poor network signals, though this rarely occurs. Overall, it’s a tech-savvy feature that represents the future trend.

As a safety-conscious person, I always check that the car is locked before remotely starting my Lynk & Co 03. This feature allows me to start the engine from a distance, but the car itself cannot be driven away directly—it requires inserting the key or having the phone nearby to unlock, preventing theft. If someone tries to forcibly open the door after starting, the alarm will sound. I’ve set restrictions in the app, such as limiting the start time to no more than 15 minutes, to avoid prolonged idling and fuel waste. The operation is convenient: just open the app and press the start button, remembering to set the desired temperature. In practice, this feature is highly useful, such as preparing the car in advance in a mall parking lot, allowing me to drive off immediately upon entering. Lynk & Co has thoughtfully designed the safety features, and after a year of use, I’ve encountered no issues.
