First, enable both the 'Developer Options' and 'USB Debugging' settings on your phone in the settings menu. Open the 'CarLife' app on your car's infotainment system, and the interface will prompt you to connect the car system and the vehicle's onboard system. Connect your phone to the car's system, which will automatically detect the phone. Your phone will then automatically launch the CarLife app. You can now operate directly from the car's infotainment system.

I just went through the process of connecting Baidu CarLife, and it's actually pretty straightforward. First, make sure your car's infotainment system supports CarLife—many newer models come with this feature built-in. Grab your phone, head to the app store to download the Baidu CarLife app, and open it. Use a high-quality USB cable to connect your phone to the car's USB port—avoid cheap cables, as they often cause disconnections. Android users need to be extra careful: go to Settings, find 'About Phone,' tap the version number several times to activate Developer Options, then enable USB Debugging. Once connected, a prompt will appear on the car's screen—click 'Allow Connection,' and after a few seconds, the screen mirroring will be active. From there, you can use navigation, play music, and enjoy voice control, which is super convenient. No more fiddling with your phone while driving—safety gets a big boost. Regular maintenance is also key: keep the app updated to avoid compatibility issues. The whole setup takes no more than 5–10 minutes, but it saves a lot of hassle for daily use.

What Should You Pay Attention to During Short-Distance Driving?

Both the engine and transmission experience mechanical wear during operation. The primary function of the lubricating oil inside them is to reduce this mechanical wear. If a vehicle frequently operates on short trips without sufficient warm-up, the lubricating oil may not reach its optimal working temperature. Under the influence of varying engine speeds and loads, this can increase mechanical wear, shorten the lifespan of the engine and transmission, and reduce the oil change interval. During the cold start phase of the engine, to ensure normal operation and accelerate the activation of the three-way catalytic converter, the fuel injection system operates in an enriched state, meaning more fuel is injected into the combustion chamber.
