Map file corruption. It is recommended to re-upgrade the map. More information about car navigation is as follows: 1. Turn off and restart: Most car navigation systems are based on the Android system. If there is a power button or a touch-sensitive button resembling a switch around the navigation, you can try turning it off and then restarting it. Since car navigation systems generally do not have their own power source, you can try turning off the vehicle and then restarting it to check the navigation status. 2. Others: Look around the navigation for a hole slightly larger than a needle eye. You can try inserting the head of a paperclip or a SIM card removal tool into this hole for a few seconds without moving it to see if the device can restart.

Last time when I was driving, the navigation just wouldn't turn on, and I totally panicked since I was rushing to a friend's wedding. I suspected it might be a power issue, as a loose cigarette lighter socket is a common problem, but it still didn't work after replugging. Later, I found out that the car's system software wasn't updated properly and got stuck on the welcome screen, so I had to force restart it by holding down the power button to get it back to normal. Another time, it was due to map data errors because the storage card was full or corrupted, requiring a re-download of the installation files. In such cases, don't rush off to the repair shop in a panic—first, do a quick check of the power connection and try restarting the system. Most of the time, you can fix it yourself, saving both money and time. Regularly checking these details before heading out can prevent a lot of trouble.

What Causes Fuel Tank Noise?

Fuel tank noise causes: External noise indicates the fuel tank is not securely fastened; internal noise suggests issues with the electric fuel pump, such as problems with the motor or gears. Below are refueling precautions: 1. Do not wait until the fuel light comes on to refuel: Since the fuel pump is located inside the tank, it operates at high temperatures when continuously working, and being submerged in fuel helps cool it effectively. When the fuel light comes on, it means the fuel level is below the pump. Waiting until the light comes on to refuel each time can shorten the pump's lifespan. Too little fuel or running out can even burn out the pump. 2. Choose reputable gas stations: When selecting a gas station, prioritize Sinopec and PetroChina. Avoid unknown brands, as they may offer local fuel that claims to be 93-octane but doesn't meet the standard, resulting in shorter mileage.
