Starting Procedure
(
Keyless
Start
)
1.
Your vehicle is equipped with the key-
less start system, so you can press the
clutch pedal (MT) or the brake pedal
(CVT), and then press the ignition
switch button on the instrument panel.
When the engine is started, please
release the button. After warm-up, the
idle speed of the engine will decline.
Don't increase the engine speed imme-
diately after starting the engine. Gradu-
ally operate the engine and the
transmission so that the engine oil can
be preheated and lubricate all working
parts. If the key remote control is not in
the vehicle or suffers some distur-
bances, the driver information center
will indicate the hint that the key is not in
the vehicle. For more information, see "
Vehicle Standby Starting Procedure"
section in Chapter 5 "Starting and Driv-
ing". If the batteries in the key remote
control need to be replaced, please
refer to the "Replacement of Remote
Control Battery" section in Chapter 5
"Starting and Driving". Your vehicle is
equipped with the computer control start
system. This function will assist to start
the engine and protect components.
As long as all starting conditions are met
(engine anti-theft is deactivated, brake
pedal (CVT) or clutch pedal (MT) is
pressed), PEPS will be output for 15 sec-
onds after the ignition switch is pressed
until the system is started successfully. If it
cannot be started successfully after 15 sec-
onds, PEPS will disconnect the start relay
automatically to prevent the starter from
overheating. It is not necessary to press
and hold the ignition switch during starting.
After the start failure, if you immedi-
ately press the ignition switch button
again to start the engine for a long period of
time, it will cause the start motor to overheat
and do damage to the motor, therefore, the
start time interval should be at least 15 sec-
onds to cool down the starter.
If the instrument panel still shows
"Please depress the brake pedal" or
"Please depress the clutch pedal" after the
clutch pedal (MT) or brake pedal (CVT) is
depressed, you can use the emergency
starting method or directly press and hold
the ignition switch for 15 seconds, and then
drive the vehicle to Geely Service Station
for repair.
