How to use the in-car navigation system of Changan CS35 Plus?

Some services require logging into an Amap (Tencent) account before they can be used. It is recommended to log in to your user account for better service. On the map interface, set the destination by moving the map to select the destination, then click 'Go Here' to start navigation. Connecting to your phone's WiFi enables interoperability between the mobile version of Amap (Tencent) Maps and the in-car version of Amap (Tencent) Maps. Route preferences mainly include avoiding congestion, avoiding tolls, avoiding highways, prioritizing highways, etc. The 'Avoid restricted areas' feature is turned off by default; when enabled, you need to enter your license plate number. As you approach your destination, nearby parking lots will be suggested. Navigation will automatically end upon reaching the destination.
I've been driving the Changan CS35 PLUS for almost two years now, and the navigation system works exceptionally well. To start the navigation, just press the map icon on the central control screen. The most convenient feature is the voice control: hold down the voice button on the steering wheel and say 'Navigate to [destination],' and the system immediately starts planning the route. Manual operation is also straightforward—tap the search box on the touchscreen to input your destination or select frequently visited locations from the history. Real-time traffic conditions are displayed in different colors, with congested areas marked in red. At intersections, the system provides a voice alert 500 meters in advance and enlarges the actual view of the intersection on the screen. I find the most practical feature to be the ability to avoid restricted roads. The system regularly updates map data online, so there's hardly any need to worry about upgrades. For long trips, the car's internet connectivity service also helps locate gas stations and rest areas along the way, making the journey much more convenient.
