1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts.

3. Reset the Infotainment System
  • Reconnect the negative battery terminal after waiting for a few minutes.
  • Start the vehicle and allow the infotainment system to boot up completely.

    • Confirm the reset and wait for the system to restart.
4. Inspect and Replace Fuses
