Starting and Driving
119
If your engine can't run or run at too slow
speed:
1.
Check whether the battery terminal is
screwed down tightly and clean.
2.
If the battery terminal is in good condi-
tion, please turn on the interior lights.
When starting the engine, if the interior
lights are not on, dark or off, it indicates
the battery power has run out, and you
can try to start the engine in the jumper
start way, as shown in "Jumper Start"
section in Chapter 6 "Faults in Driving".
If the lights are normal, but the engine can't
be started, the engine needs to be adjusted
or repaired. Please contact the Geely Ser-
vice Station for maintenance.
Don't use a trailer or cart to start the
vehicle, otherwise when the engine is
started, it may cause a collision or damage
to the vehicle, leading to the overheating of
the catalytic converter and causing a fire.
If the engine runs at a normal speed, but
the vehicle can't be started:
1.
Since the repetitive starting will cause
the engine to be flooded, you can try to
fully press the accelerator pedal and
then start the engine.
2.
If the engine still can not start, it is nec-
essary to adjust or repair the engine.
Please contact the Geely Service Sta-
tion.
Driving
Do not use the "Acceleration - Shut
down - Coast in NEUTRAL" manners
to operate the vehicle with the turbo engine.
When the engine is suddenly shut down
under the full load and high temperature
conditions, the oil pump will stop working,
causing the engine oil unable to bring away
the heat in the turbo components, resulting
in damage to the turbo due to overheating.
New Vehicle Break-in

ments. If the break-in period is 5000 kilome-
