1. Preparation

Ensure the vehicle is parked and the ignition is in the "ON" position without starting the engine.

Navigate to "System" or "General Settings".
Select "Factory Reset" or "Restore Factory Settings".
Confirm the action when prompted. Be aware that this will erase all saved settings, paired devices, and personal data.
Wait for the system to complete the reset process and reboot.

4. Update Infotainment Software
