What is the method to deactivate the anti-theft system on the Geely Global Hawk GX718?
3 Answers
To deactivate the anti-theft system on the Geely Global Hawk GX718, insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the first position, wait for 15 seconds, then turn it to the power position, wait for another 5 seconds. Then, return the key to its original position and turn it again to deactivate the system. Anti-Theft System: The anti-theft system primarily utilizes existing telephone networks or GSM mobile networks, connecting to the owner's phone or mobile device via wired or wireless means to achieve remote anti-theft functionality. Currently, popular anti-theft system products on the market mainly consist of a signal-receiving anti-theft host and a series of alarm detection heads, such as infrared detectors, door contacts, smoke detectors, and infrared barriers. Principle: A typical car anti-theft system contains an integrated chip with several switch gates. When an external trigger voltage is applied, the switch gates open and output a positive voltage to the driving circuit, activating the execution mechanism and alarm circuit. The radio remote control is a crucial component of the anti-theft system, serving as a remote control device that uses radio signals to control various mechanisms at a distance. These signals are received by remote receiving devices, which can then instruct or drive other corresponding mechanical or electronic devices to perform various operations, such as closing circuits, moving handles, or starting motors, after which these mechanisms carry out the necessary operations. Moreover, with the continuous advancement of technology, the anti-theft system now offers its most powerful and widely requested feature: 'By pressing the lock button on the remote control, the car anti-theft system automatically enters the anti-theft alert state. If the car door is illegally opened, the ignition is tampered with, the vehicle is shaken, or the trunk is illegally opened, the car anti-theft system will automatically send an alert message or call a preset number to ensure the vehicle's safety.'
I've always been quite knowledgeable about car anti-theft systems, and I think when it comes to the issue of deactivating the Geely Global Hawk GX718's anti-theft system, it's best to start by checking the key. Usually, if the original key isn't working, it's likely due to a dead battery or a signal mismatch. Try replacing the battery and re-matching the key. If that doesn't work, the system might have been accidentally triggered or malfunctioned, such as the door lock suddenly getting stuck. In such cases, don't rush to force it, as it might trigger the alarm and damage the circuit. I've often encountered this situation when repairing cars myself, and I recommend going directly to a 4S shop or finding a professional technician to use a diagnostic tool to check the fault codes and match a new chip. After all, anti-theft systems are quite complex in design, and tampering with them might just waste time. Generally, repair shops will check the wiring and ECU module step by step, and deactivation takes about half an hour, with reasonable fees. Remember to regularly maintain and not overlook the key's condition—prevention is the best way to save money. In short, safety comes first; don't believe in unreliable online methods, as they can easily lead to trouble.
As a long-time owner of a GX718, I encountered an anti-theft system issue last year. The car wouldn't start, with warning lights flashing and alarms going off - it was nerve-wracking. Later I discovered it was caused by weak key signal or system memory errors. The standard solution is to reboot the vehicle: disconnect the battery for a few minutes then reconnect, which sometimes resets the system. If that doesn't work, you'll need authorized service center assistance. They use specialized computer matching programs or reprogram the key to systematically unlock the anti-theft module. During this process, be careful to avoid remote interference and never attempt DIY wire disconnection due to significant safety risks. I'm sharing this experience to emphasize: regularly check if anti-theft sensor connections are loose - door locks are linked to the engine immobilizer. When problems occur, stay calm and follow the manual's reset procedures first. From my perspective, timely maintenance prevents headaches - replacing key batteries annually helps prevent malfunctions.
