2 Answers
To activate the rearview camera on the Hongqi H5, follow these steps: 1. Open the driver's door. 2. Depress the brake pedal. 3. Press the one-touch start button to ignite the engine. 4. Shift the gear into R (Reverse) position, and the multimedia system will automatically display the rearview image. Additional information about the Hongqi H5: 1. The Hongqi H5 has a wheelbase of 2875mm, with overall dimensions of 4945mm in length, 1845mm in width, and 1470mm in height. 2. The Hongqi H5 is equipped with two engine options: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine.
The reversing camera on the Hongqi H5 usually activates automatically: when shifting into reverse gear (R), the central display screen immediately shows real-time images, which is very convenient and helps you avoid blind spots and obstacles. If it occasionally fails to appear, I recommend checking a few things: first, see if the camera is blocked by mud or raindrops—cleaning it should restore functionality; navigate to the vehicle settings menu—from the home screen, go to the parking assist options and confirm that the reversing camera switch is turned on; if there’s no response, try restarting the engine and wait a few minutes for the system to initialize before testing again. Having driven the Hongqi H5 for several years, I find this feature practical but occasionally prone to minor issues, such as unstable wiring due to freezing temperatures in winter. Regular maintenance can help reduce such problems. Remember, using it alongside the rearview mirror and radar is safer—don’t rely entirely on the camera, especially in low-light conditions where its performance may be subpar. Make it a habit to check the settings regularly to avoid last-minute malfunctions and unnecessary repair hassles.
