ACC (orange light) : This position allows
you to use the radio, windshield wipers and
other electrical accessories after the engine
is turned off. When the engine is turned off,
you can press the button again, and not
press the clutch pedal (MT) or the brake
pedal (CVT) to keep the ignition switch in
the ACC position. When the ignition switch
is in ACC and you press the clutch pedal
(MT) or the brake pedal (CVT), the indicator
light turns green and you can press the start
button once to start the vehicle directly.
When the ignition switch is in ACC
，
and
the shift lever is in N position (MT) or P
position (CVT), you can press and hold the
start switch for more than 10 seconds to
start the vehicle without pressing the clutch
pedal (MT) or the brake pedal (CVT).
If the ignition switch is still in the ACC
position after the engine is turned off,
it will consume the battery power. If the con-
sumption of battery power is too long, you
may fail to start your vehicle.
ON (orange) : When the switch is in the
ACC position, you can press the button
again, and not press the clutch pedal (MT)
or the brake pedal (CVT) to get the ignition
switch in the ON position. Press the button
again to get the ignition switch back to the
OFF position.
START: The position is used for driving and
starting vehicles. When the engine is turned
off, you can press the clutch pedal (MT) or
the brake pedal (CVT), and then press and
release the button to start the engine. When
the ignition switch is in the START position,
the engine will continue to crank until it
starts running. For more information, see "

ing and Driving".
Starting Engine
If you want to start the engine, you must
press the clutch pedal (MT) or the brake
pedal (CVT).
After changing the engine oil, oil filter
or turbocharger of the turbo engine,
or the vehicle parked for a long period, you
should crank the engine several times to
pre-lubricate the turbocharger before start-
ing the engine. The inlet of the turbo should
have oil pressure within 3 to 4 seconds after
the engine starts, in order to prevent the
damage to the bearing system of the turbo
due to lack of lubrication. When the engine
has just started, you should idle the vehicle
for several minutes (30 s at least) before full
loads are applied to ensure the proper lubri-
cation.
The engine is designed to work with
the electronic devices inside the vehi-
cle. The additional electrical components or
accessories can change the engine perfor-
mance. Therefore, please consult Geely
Service Station before installing electrical
equipment. Otherwise the engine may not
work properly. Any damages resulting from
this will not be covered under your vehicle
warranty.
