Geely Emgrand ec718's anti-theft control box is located under the hood, on the left side of the battery in the engine compartment. Flashing Introduction: The car's anti-theft indicator light flashes intermittently at regular intervals, indicating that the anti-theft system is working. Otherwise, it should be repaired, as it is the core and control center of the anti-theft device. No Longer Flashing: The car's anti-theft indicator light is part of the anti-theft system. As long as the car is parked and the doors are locked, the anti-theft indicator light will continue to flash, whether it is day or night. If the anti-theft indicator light stops flashing, it means there is a malfunction in the car's anti-theft system.

Back when I drove my family's old Emgrand, I also looked for the anti-theft light location. There's a small red light at the lower right corner of the instrument cluster that blinks intermittently after locking - that's the anti-theft indicator. In newer Emgrand models, it's generally located in the instrument cluster area behind the steering wheel, usually displayed as a small car with a lock icon. It might not be very noticeable during daytime, but becomes particularly visible when blinking after locking at night. This light being on indicates the electronic anti-theft system is activated. If you notice it's not blinking or stays constantly lit, you should be alert as it might mean doors aren't properly closed or sensors are malfunctioning. By the way, some owners who modified wiring might have relocated it, but factory settings usually keep it in this area.

Having repaired cars for over a decade, I can locate the Geely Emgrand's anti-theft light with my eyes closed. It's right between the tachometer and speedometer in the center of the dashboard - a red light that flashes immediately after removing the key and locking the car. The older models used a key icon, while newer versions feature a small lock symbol with wavy lines. Here's a pro tip: if the light doesn't illuminate after remote locking, either the system isn't activated or there's poor wiring contact. But beware - an improperly closed engine hood can also disable the anti-theft light. Last time a customer made an unnecessary trip to the dealership for this - just check it yourself first.

Last month, I just picked up the Emgrand Champion Edition and specifically researched the position of the anti-theft light. After locking the car, you can see a small red dot blinking near the left front of the steering wheel, positioned close to the edge of the instrument panel. The salesperson mentioned that it's now integrated into the digital instrument cluster and automatically starts blinking within 30 seconds after the engine is turned off. Actually, besides serving as an anti-theft indicator, this light can also help determine the vehicle's status—steady blinking indicates normal system operation, while erratic blinking or constant illumination suggests a need for inspection. Once, when I left the spare key inside the car, I noticed the light blinking very rapidly, which was quite smart.

What does it mean when shift conditions are not met?

That may indicate an issue with the transmission computer, and it's advisable to have it inspected at a 4S shop. Below are some considerations regarding gear shifting while driving: Overtaking: Upshifting during overtaking reduces torque in higher gears, which can actually slow down acceleration. Avoid looking down at the gear lever while shifting: This can easily lead to rear-end collisions and other traffic accidents. Not fully depressing the clutch when shifting: Failing to press the clutch all the way down can cause gear grinding. Frequent gear grinding will shorten the transmission's lifespan and, in severe cases, may even cause immediate transmission failure. Upshifting: Always coordinate the throttle and clutch before upshifting. First release the clutch, then press the accelerator, ensuring a gradual increase in speed without sudden acceleration. Downshifting: If the speed is too high, apply the brakes before downshifting.

Do Sunroofs Need Window Tinting?

Not applying window tint to a sunroof generally has no significant impact, as car sunroofs inherently offer some level of heat insulation and UV protection. However, for larger panoramic sunroofs, the built-in sun protection may be insufficient, necessitating the application of a tint film. This additional layer can also provide some anti-shatter benefits. Below are key points about sunroofs: 1. Functions of a Sunroof: It enables rapid cooling, eliminates fogging, and facilitates quick air exchange. Opening the sunroof while driving accelerates air circulation inside the vehicle, thereby improving ventilation. 2. Usage Tips: In traffic jams, open the sunroof to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the cabin. During congestion, when vehicles are stationary, exhaust emissions inevitably disperse in the air. After prolonged sun exposure, opening the sunroof helps balance the interior temperature. In hot summers, when a car has been under intense sunlight, the cabin temperature rises drastically. In such cases, promptly opening the sunroof is advisable.

Where is Goodride Tires produced?

Goodride Tires are manufactured in Foshan, Guangdong. Here is some relevant information about tires: Tire Introduction: Tires are the only components of a car that come into contact with the ground. Some car owners only replace the tires on the drive wheels when changing tires. For example, some front-wheel-drive car owners only replace the two front tires, while some rear-wheel-drive car owners only replace the two rear tires. In fact, this practice is acceptable. Tire Aging: Tires are rubber products and will age over time. It is recommended that car owners replace their tires every four years, even if the mileage is low during those four years. Since tires can also age when left unused for long periods, it is important to check the production date when purchasing tires.

Can I leave the original driver's license at home if I have an electronic one?

Yes. Here is relevant information about electronic driver's licenses: Introduction: The electronic driver's license, commonly known as "e-license", serves as a supplement to physical licenses. When you don't carry the physical license, you can present the electronic version for roadside checks and other verifications. Latest technology: According to a People's Daily report from Moscow on August 23, 2018, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs is developing a new generation of microchip-based electronic driver's licenses and vehicle registration certificates. The new version will feature markings in three languages: Russian, English, and French. In addition to microchips, the new generation of licenses will have enhanced anti-counterfeiting measures, with laser security layers on both the upper and lower surfaces of the document.
