What to do if the Geely Boyue suddenly won't start?

The solutions for a Geely Boyue suddenly failing to start are: 1. Dead or faulty battery; 2. Faulty spark plugs; 3. Poor contact in high-voltage wires; 4. Ignition circuit failure; 5. Severely aged fuel lines. Taking the 2021 Geely Boyue as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4519mm, width 1831mm, height 1694mm, and a wheelbase of 2670mm, with a curb weight of 1575kg. The 2021 Boyue features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.8L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 163ps, a maximum power of 120kW, and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
My Geely Boyue has also experienced starting issues, which are often minor but require step-by-step troubleshooting. The most common causes are a dead battery or loose connections. First, check the battery terminals under the hood—if they're rusty or loose, tighten them with a wrench. Next, listen to whether the starter motor sounds normal. If there's no sound, the starter might be broken; if there's sound but the engine won't start, the ignition system or fuel pump could be faulty. Avoid repeatedly turning the key to drain the battery—ask a friend for a jump-start or try using a portable jump starter. Safety first—if nothing works, call a tow truck to the 4S shop. Remember, this happens more often in winter; my car’s aging battery died in subzero temperatures, but regular maintenance and replacement solved it. Also, check if any dashboard warning lights are flashing—if the anti-theft system is interfering, try removing and reinserting the key. Stay calm, and regular battery checks can prevent most issues.
