- Identify the power button or "Home" button on the center console.
Press and Hold the Power Button:
- Press and hold the power button for approximately 10 seconds.
- Wait for the screen to turn off and then back on.
Alternative Reset Method (if applicable):
- If the above method does not work, you may need to disconnect the vehicle battery.

Ensure it is securely tightened.
