The method for remote starting the Emgrand GS is: 1. Press the lock button on the remote key; 2. Immediately hold down the start button for more than 4 seconds. Taking the 2020 Emgrand GS as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4440mm, width 1833mm, height 1573mm, wheelbase of 2700mm, and a body weight of 1365kg. The 2020 Emgrand GS is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 141PS, maximum torque of 235Nm, maximum power of 104kW, and is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.

When driving my Emgrand GS, I use the remote start feature to preheat the car or turn on the air conditioning. The method is quite simple: operate it through the Geely GNetLink mobile app. First, download the app from the application store, register an account, and then bind your vehicle's VIN. After binding is complete, open the app and navigate to the remote control interface, click the "Engine Start" option—it will require a second confirmation to prevent accidental operation. Once confirmed, the vehicle starts. I often use this to turn on the air conditioning in advance during summer, so the car is cool by the time I get in—very practical. Remember to park in a safe location, such as an open area, to avoid starting in a garage where exhaust could be an issue. The entire process is quick, and after starting, the engine runs for about 10 minutes before automatically stopping, or you can stop it manually via the app.

My Emgrand GS has a remote start function, mainly controlled by the original car key. If your vehicle supports it, there's a dedicated button on the key—just press and hold it for a few seconds to start the engine. I often use this feature to warm up the car in cold weather, saving me from waiting for the engine to heat up after getting in. Before operating, make sure the vehicle is in park mode with no other warning lights on, otherwise the start may fail. Starting with the key is simple and direct, with sufficient range—I can press the button from upstairs. It's recommended to regularly check the key battery to avoid failure. If the key malfunctions, try using the app as a backup method. For safety, ensure the car is parked in an open area and avoid starting it in an enclosed space.

I often use the remote start feature of my Emgrand GS for convenient travel. The usual method is to use the key fob button, holding it down for one or two seconds, or operating it through the mobile app. I use the app more often: after downloading the Geely GNetLink app and binding the vehicle, I tap the "Remote Control" section in the menu to start. Once started, the air conditioning or heating works in advance, so taking the kids out isn't a worry about them getting too hot or cold. The operation is quick, taking just one or two minutes to complete.
