Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools: Flathead screwdriver, torque wrench, and gloves.
  • Ensure the vehicle is in a safe location, parked with the engine off.
2. Soft Reset
  • Turn on the ignition without starting the engine.
  • Locate the power button on the infotainment system.
  • Press and hold the power button for approximately 10-15 seconds until the system reboots.
3. Hard Reset (if soft reset fails)
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal:
    • Use a socket wrench to loosen the bolt on the negative battery cable.
    • Carefully remove the cable and secure it away from the battery.
  • Wait for at least 5 minutes.
  • Reconnect the negative battery terminal:
    • Position the cable back onto the negative battery post.
    • Tighten the bolt securely with the socket wrench.
  • Start the vehicle and check if the infotainment system is functioning properly.
