Locate the power button on the infotainment system (it is often integrated into the touchscreen).

Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery using a socket set (typically 10mm).
Wait for at least 10 minutes to ensure that all electrical components reset.
Reconnect the negative battery terminal and tighten it securely.
Start the vehicle and check if the infotainment system is functioning properly.
