Fuel Gauge (Digital Tachometer)
When the ignition switch is turned “ON”, the
fuel gauge indicates rough remainder in the
fuel tank.
When it is lled, the top bar is highlighted.
When the bottom bar of the fuel gauge ash-
es, you have to rell immediately.
It is reasonable to keep fuel of more than one
fourth of the capacity of the fuel tank.
If the low fuel level indicator ashes, you have
to rell the fuel tank immediately.
Pointer Instrument: When the ignition switch
is turned “ON”, the fuel gauge indicates rough
remainder in the fuel tank.
When lled, the pointer stops at “F”.
When pointer falls within the red range, you
have to rell the fuel tank immediately.
It is reasonable to keep fuel of more than one
fourth of the capacity of the fuel tank.

gauge
engine coolant
high tempera-
ture indicator
When the ignition switch is turned on, the indi-
cator and warning light indicates the temperature
of the engine coolant. The working temperature
of the engine will vary with the change of the
weather and engine load.
If the temperature of the engine coolant is low
when the ignition switch is turned on, the engine
coolant temperature indicator (blue) goes on. If
the indicator remains on after the engine is fully
heated, you have to immediately contact Geely
service station for inspection of the vehicle.
When the engine coolant high temperature
warning light (red) goes on, it indicates that the
engine is too hot. If the vehicle is too hot, you
have to stop it to cool the engine.
The engine may be overheated in the following
conditions:
 Long Climb in hot weather
 Deceleration or parking after high-speed
driving
 Race the engine for a long time while
turning on the air conditioner under the
condition of intermittent driving
Engine Coolant Temperature Indi-
cation and Warning Light (Needle
Combination Meter)
When the ignition switch is turned on, the engine
coolant temperature gauge indicates the tempera-
ture of the engine coolant. The working tempera-
ture of the engine will vary with the change of
the weather and the engine load.
If the engine coolant temperature is low when
the ignition switch is turned on, the coolant tem-
perature gauge pointer will stop at “C”. If the
pointer remains at “C” after the engine is fully
heated, you have to contact the Geely service
station immediately for inspection of the vehicle.
Engine Coolant Temperature Indi-
cation and Warning Light (Digital
Combination Meter)
Notice
Do not remove the thermostat in the en-
gine cooling system, otherwise the engine
may be overheated. The thermostat is used
to control the cooling flow to confine the
temperature of the engine to the specied
range.
In case of overheated engine, don't
continue the driving.
The engine coolant
temperature indicator
becomes red and ashes
at high temperature and
becomes blue at low

Odometer and Short-distance Odometer (Digi-
tal Combination Meter)
Odometer and Short-distance Odomoter
The tachometer is used to show the engine
rotation, which is taken 1000 multiply rotation
per minute. Driver can select the correct shift
time to prevent the engine load or unload from
over speed during driving. If drive the car un-
der the condition of the engine rotates too fast,
it will results in the over friction of engine and
fuel waste.
Notice
Do not let red pointer enter into the red
range, otherwise the engine may be dam-
aged seriously.

Digital combination meter includes the odom-
eter and short-distance odometer
1. Odometer: displays the total mileage of the
vehicle has drived.
2. Dual Short-distance Odometer: displays
two different mileages since the odometer is
set to zero. You can use one short-distance
odometer to calculate the fuel consumption and
another to measure the mileage of each trip.
3. Short-distance Odometer Knob: adjust the
reading of the dual short-distance odometer to
zero and change the display of the instrument.
To change the display of the instrument, swift-
ly press down and release the knob, each time
you press it, the instrument will change its dis-
play on the order of odometer to short-distance
odometer “A” to short-distance odometer “B”
and back to odometer.
To adjust the reading of the short-distance
odometer “A” to zero, display the reading of
the instrument “A”, then press the knob until
it is set to zero. Use the same method to adjust
the short-distance odometer “B”
4. Backlight adjusting knob:
When the position light is turned on, the
digital instrument will dim automatically. Press
this button to adjust the backlight of the digital
combination light.
