How long does it take to update the indicator?

Updating the indicator takes three to four days, with a six-month deadline for license plate registration. Below is a detailed introduction to the time required for updating the indicator under different circumstances: 1. Completing the application within six months: Individuals or organizations selling or scrapping their passenger cars must apply for a passenger car update indicator within six months from the date of completing the vehicle transfer or deregistration. Failure to complete the application within this period will be considered as automatically abandoning the update indicator application. 2. Relevant proof: Individuals or organizations selling or scrapping their passenger cars and needing an update indicator do not need to participate in the lottery; they can directly apply for the update indicator. The confirmation notice of the passenger car update indicator serves as the proof document, and vehicle registration must be completed within six months from the date of obtaining the update indicator. Failure to complete the registration within this period will be considered as automatically abandoning the update indicator.

I've been driving for over a decade, and the update time for indicators depends on the specific type. For things like the maintenance reminder light, it usually updates immediately after being reset at the service shop—the whole process takes just a few seconds and doesn't cause any delay, as it's tied to your maintenance cycle, such as reminding you every 5,000 kilometers, which is quite accurate. Navigation map updates take longer, requiring a WiFi connection or USB stick, with the download and installation taking roughly 10 to 30 minutes, depending on your car's system and network speed—larger files might take even more time, but choosing a safe spot to park and update solves that. Daily indicators like fuel efficiency and speed refresh in real-time while driving, almost instantaneously. The key is not to overlook these updates, as they impact driving safety and overall performance. I recommend checking the reset status during every maintenance visit to ensure everything runs smoothly, which adds peace of mind while driving. Overall, basic indicators update very quickly, while software-related ones take a bit more time.

As a young person who drives frequently, I think the update time for indicators varies from person to person. Navigation system updates are the most noticeable, usually downloaded in the background with a single click—small files take about ten minutes, while larger ones might take half an hour to an hour, depending on network stability. Maintenance indicator updates are even faster, changing instantly after a reset at the dealership or with a personal tool, without any delay. Real-time indicators like fuel consumption or tire pressure refresh automatically while driving, with no noticeable lag. I always remind my friends not to mess with major updates while driving, as it’s distracting—it’s safer to handle them after parking. Many modern cars support over-the-air (OTA) updates, like Tesla’s, which are convenient but vary in duration—overall, they’re reasonable and don’t disrupt travel plans.

When I first started learning to drive, I was most concerned about whether the indicator updates would take too long, but the actual experience was super fast. For example, the speedometer changes instantly when you step on the gas, completing in a flash. The maintenance light updates immediately after service, with almost zero delay. Navigation maps download and install quickly whenever there's an update, so I never have to worry about the time. I always remind myself not to be afraid of the hassle—these designs are thoughtful and efficient, and the real priority while driving is to focus on the road conditions.
