Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools: OBD-II scanner, flathead screwdriver, and a soft cloth.
  • Ensure the vehicle is in a safe location with the engine off and keys removed.
2. Perform a Soft Reset
  • Locate the power button on the infotainment system.
  • Press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds until the system restarts.
  • Wait for the system to boot up and check if the issue is resolved.
3. Inspect Fuses
  • Open the driver's side door and locate the fuse panel cover.
  • Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry open the fuse panel cover.
  • Identify the fuse related to the infotainment system (refer to the fuse diagram).
  • Remove the fuse using pliers and inspect it for any damage (broken filament).
  • If damaged, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage rating.
4. Check for Software Update
  • Start the vehicle and access the infotainment settings.
  • Navigate to "About" or "Software Update" section.
  • Follow on-screen prompts to check for and install any available software updates.
5. Reboot the System
  • If the soft reset and fuse inspection do not resolve the issue, perform a full system reboot.
  • Disconnect the vehicle battery for about 10-15 minutes.
  • Reconnect the battery, ensuring the terminals are secure.
  • Start the vehicle and check the infotainment system again.
