How many little secrets do you have? The secret of Geely Geometry C (Part 2)

For fans of in-depth test drives of hydrogen and krypton travel, you must have some understanding of Geometry C after reading several recent articles. Geometry C is the first SUV launched by Geely Automobile's mid-to-high-end pure electric brand Geometry Auto in Shenzhen in June this year. It represents the emerging force of Geely Automobile, an established car company, in the new energy electric vehicle market. After the static experience, the autonomous driving L2 level experience, and the autonomous parking experience, let’s talk about the large central control screen of the Geometry C. How many secrets are hidden in this 12.3-inch central control screen? This article is the next one (please read the previous article for the previous article)

1. Lighting This car supports the headlights accompanying me home function, which in layman’s terms is the function of delaying the headlights to turn off. From actual experience, when your vehicle is turned off, the headlights can be delayed to turn off. The time can be set to 30 seconds, 60 seconds, or 90 seconds to help you see the way home clearly. You can also set the turn signal to have a shooting star or running water effect. You no longer have to envy Audi's running water turn signal from the light manufacturer. In actual experience, this turn signal is very cool. You can also customize the welcome light. The actual experience is that when you open the door, the lights automatically turn on and illuminate the road under your feet. Of course, if you like to be more low-key, you can also turn off the welcome lights and running water turn signals.

2. Security settings Safety can be said to be the most important function in car settings, and Geometry C is quite powerful in this regard. The first is the convenience of using your car. When you approach the vehicle with the key, you can set it to automatically unlock, eliminating the need for you to unlock it. Secondly, you can set it to automatically lock the car away from the vehicle, and automatically raise the window after locking the car. It avoids the confusion of some "amnesiac patients" who forget to lock the car and close the windows. (No discrimination is intended here o(*￣︶￣*)o). The built-in car anti-theft function can also be set to turn on the light and sound alarm at the same time when there is damage. Bring greater deterrence to saboteurs. The automatic unlocking function after flameout is provided when you need to quickly open the door to escape in some emergency situations. Avoid being trapped in the car when an accident occurs. Automatic locking function at vehicle speed. It is prepared to prevent children or other people in the car from accidentally opening the door and causing accidents while driving. It can be set to automatically lock at 10 kilometers per hour or 20 kilometers per hour. Of course, you can also choose to turn off the automatic locking function, provided that there are no other people in the car who may cause misoperation of the door. Otherwise, it is recommended to turn this feature on. Blind spot detection is also called parallel assist function. I have already talked about it in the static experience chapter (The rise of established car manufacturers - the static experience of the Geometry C test drive). There is a blind spot warning light on the left and right rearview mirrors of this vehicle. When a vehicle appears in the blind spot, the lights on the left and right rearview mirrors will light up. At the same time, you can set up the alarm sound to more clearly remind the driver that there is a car in the blind spot. HDC is a hill descent control system. When you are going down a steep slope, the system automatically controls your vehicle speed. You only need to control the steering wheel and don't need to apply the brakes frequently. This feature first appeared on Land Rover models. For the parking assistance function, please read the previous article of this article: What is the real experience of automatic parking? This article will not go into details. It is here that the blind spot inspection reminder light is hidden.

3. Active security settings. Active safety settings are a major feature highlight of this car. First turn on forward collision warning when encountering an obstacle. It will send you an early warning to remind you of obstacles ahead. If the driver still does not perform the operation. Automatic emergency braking can be activated, and the car's intelligent system will automatically stop the car. Avoid accidents. This is very practical for novice drivers, because novice drivers are often distracted by small things and ignore unexpected situations ahead. In layman's terms, the function of ACC is to control the vehicle speed on behalf of the driver, and can automatically follow the vehicle in front while maintaining a certain safe distance. It can replace the driver's accelerator and brake, which can greatly reduce the driver's fatigue and free your feet during long-distance driving or traffic jams. The lane keeping assist system can automatically control the vehicle to keep it in the center of the lane and achieve turning operations according to the current markings on the road. To relieve your fatigue from steering the wheel, it should be noted that the current requirement is that your hands cannot leave the steering wheel. After leaving, the screen will prompt: "Please hold the steering wheel tightly" to let the intelligent system sense that you are not asleep o(*￣︶￣ *)o. Set to alarm only. That is, when the car deviates from the center of the lane, it will only give an alarm and not help the driver turn the steering wheel. It is for assistance. When the assistance mode is weak, it will help you slightly correct the steering wheel. When set to strong assist, it will help you correct the steering wheel with greater force. At this time, if you turn the steering wheel with your hands, you will feel a force that will snatch control of the steering wheel from you. certainly. In the end you can win and gain control of the vehicle.

4. Comfort settings. The first is to lock the rearview mirror folding function. The editor personally likes this function very much. This function can avoid accidental scratches in a narrow parking lot. At the same time, it is also an important symbol to highlight the functionality of your car. Automatic folding of rearview mirrors is basically a standard feature of ergonomically designed cars. The rear wiper linkage function when reversing is also a very good feature. When you reverse the car on rainy days, the rear wiper will automatically turn on. Don't let the rain obscure your view.

Of course, this is a more useful feature for experienced drivers. Novices may look at the reversing image more (smiling face). The rearview mirror reversing tilt function is also a relatively practical function. When you reverse, it will automatically tilt downwards, allowing you to see the parking lot markings more clearly, making it easier to reverse. Of course, veterans use it more, ahem. . . Novices will still look at the reversing image. (Big smile) This car is equipped with automatic air conditioning with dual temperature zones, and the automatic air conditioning can also be set to soft, comfortable, and powerful. Three modes. It also has the function of automatic air purification. Can reach the standard of kn95. It is worth mentioning that Geometry C comes with an active cabin cleaning function. When you unlock the car remotely, the car will first turn on the ventilation system of the entire car. Release the exhaust gas and other harmful gases released in the cabin. Ensure that passengers in the car breathe fresh and healthy air. The seat comfort function setting for getting off the car means that when you turn off the engine, the driver's seat will automatically move backwards, giving you enough space to get off the car. No more trouble getting out of the car because of the limited space (tai) and small (le). The HUD heads up display is a very useful feature. The actual experience is that you can see various main information by looking straight ahead during the whole driving process. Corresponding to the different heights of different drivers, this heads-up display can also be adjusted up and down. If you don't like this feature, you can turn it off. The snow mode changes color so that the light reflected from the snow will not affect the heads-up display. Geometry C is a smart model. Not only can it connect to WiFi, but it can also use itself as a hotspot. Let your other WiFi devices connect, supporting up to eight devices. Sound settings. Geometry C supports EQ equalizer settings, and you can adjust the sound tendencies of the 9 BOSE speakers according to your own preferences. For example, the editor listens to a lot of electronic rock recently, so I just push the bass all the way. This sounds very touching.

9. By the way, let’s talk about the small details of the interior that were not mentioned before. Geometry C has an IMAX canopy sunroof, which measures 73×80cm, which is still very large. It also comes with electric sunshades, so when the weather is fine, it is very comfortable to open the sunshades and look at the large skylight above your head. This skylight also has the advantage that it cannot be opened, which avoids the trouble of leakage on rainy days. The picture below shows the button to open the sunshade with one click. In front of the electric sunshade switch is a hidden glasses case, which can be opened with a light press and has a very damping feel. Of course, it goes well with sunglasses when going for a drive o(*￣︶￣*)o The center console is also in a geometric pattern. Unfortunately, the storage spaces are all irregular patterns, and the actual loading capacity is not very high. Real shot of the brake and accelerator pedals under the driver's seat. Note that in the red circle, there are two additional mechanical structures connected to the accelerator and brake. The editor speculates that this is the L2 assisted driving system to help the driver control the accelerator and brake. Through the first and second secrets of this Geometry C and the series of articles, we can see that Geometry C has considered various considerations for the humanization, intelligence, and safety of the car when designing it. All the details reflect the decades-old experience of a well-established domestic manufacturer. With accumulated strength in car building, the editor can't help but praise this attentive, meticulous, rigorous and responsible attitude!
