How to activate the panoramic camera on the Hongqi HS5?
2 Answers
For vehicles equipped with a 360-degree panoramic camera, the system will automatically activate after the car is started. Once connected, you can switch viewing angles via the central control screen. This allows the driver to monitor real-time video feeds from the front, rear, left, and right sides of the vehicle while inside, helping to prevent unexpected incidents. The front camera is installed on a suitable grille or emblem at the front of the car; the side mirror cameras are mounted at the bottom of the left and right side mirrors, with universal models requiring drilling for installation.
As a Hongqi HS5 owner, here's how I operate the panoramic view system: After starting the car when the screen lights up, I directly locate the camera icon button on the center console and press it to switch into the mode. During parking or reversing, it automatically activates to display a 360-degree view, which is super helpful for avoiding blind spots. I've also noticed that if the camera lens gets dirty, the image becomes blurry, so regular cleaning with a soft cloth is necessary to maintain clarity. It's recommended to use it at low speeds, not exceeding 15km/h to ensure safety. This little trick combined with regular maintenance makes urban driving much easier to navigate and helps avoid minor scratches. Hongqi's system responds quickly with naturally stitched images, making it easy even for beginners to master quickly. Don't forget that in the settings interface, you can also adjust the viewing angle position to suit personal preferences.
