Tiggo 5 Central Control Screen Touch Malfunction?
3 Answers
It is recommended to turn off the ignition and wait for about 5 seconds before turning it back on to see if the touch screen functions normally. If the issue persists, you can disconnect the negative terminal of the battery for about 15 seconds and then reconnect it. This phenomenon is generally referred to as a central control screen freeze, similar to a smartphone lagging. If the problem continues, it is advisable to check the power supply to the central control screen. The following are some details about the Tiggo 5: Introduction 1: The dimensions of the Chery Tiggo 5 are a length of 4506mm, width of 1841mm, height of 1740mm, wheelbase of 2610mm, front track of 1550mm, and rear track of 1530mm. Introduction 2: The overall length of the Chery Tiggo 5 reaches 4506mm, which is significantly larger than the previous generation Tiggo, especially in terms of width, which has reached 1841mm, providing very spacious passenger space. Introduction 3: The extended flared fender design gives a strong sense of power, combined with the forward-leaning waistline, even when stationary, the vehicle exudes a dynamic and eager-to-move feeling.
When encountering a malfunctioning Tiggo 5 infotainment screen, I first check two scenarios: First, if certain areas become unresponsive, it might be due to pressure-induced internal screen damage or air bubbles under the screen protector. Second, if the entire screen stops responding, it's likely a system freeze. Last time, after my car was exposed to direct sunlight, the screen started drifting and jumping erratically, but it automatically recovered after cooling down for half an hour. For regular maintenance, avoid cleaning the screen with alcohol as it corrodes the coating and gradually reduces sensitivity. Periodically clearing background apps can also minimize freeze risks, especially avoiding simultaneous high-intensity operation of map navigation and music apps. For complete failure, press and hold the physical button below the screen for 10 seconds to force restart - this resolves 80% of issues. If problems persist, visit a 4S shop to inspect wiring or replace the touch panel assembly.
Touchscreen malfunction might be related to system overload. My old Tiggo had similar issues after upgrading the head unit firmware. First, try unplugging all external USB devices, especially during charging as they can interfere with capacitive touchscreens. Gently tap the four corners of the screen with your knuckle - sometimes this helps with loose connector issues. Check if you installed any new apps before the malfunction occurred, as third-party software often causes conflicts. The most practical solution is a factory reset - use the restore option at the bottom of the settings menu. If three reboots don't work, don't hesitate to get it repaired. A replacement aftermarket touchscreen assembly costs around 800 yuan, while OEM parts are double that price.
