Solution
1. Preparation
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked safely and is not in motion.
  • Make sure the vehicle is connected to a charger to prevent battery depletion during the reset process.
2. Perform the Reset
  1. Power Off the Vehicle:

    • On the touchscreen, tap 'Controls' > 'Safety & Security'.
    • Scroll down and select 'Power Off'.
    • Wait for 2-3 minutes without interacting with the vehicle.
  2. Power On the Vehicle:

    • After waiting, press the brake pedal to power on the vehicle again.
  3. Recalibrate the Battery:

    • Ensure the vehicle is fully charged to 100% by allowing it to charge until the indicator shows full.
    • Drive the vehicle normally to allow the Battery Management System to recalibrate, aiming for a mix of different driving conditions.
