What does RVM mean when it appears on the Little Ant?

[MacKendra]

The appearance of RVM on the Little Ant is caused by an issue with the vehicle's TBOX, which is the remote communication module of the vehicle. Below is a detailed analysis of this issue: Vehicle Data Exhaustion: When encountering such a problem, the first step is to check whether the vehicle's data plan has expired or the data has been exhausted. Most manufacturers provide a certain period of free data for the vehicle, and after this period, it may result in no signal. Vehicle Module Malfunction: If all conditions are normal but the warning light remains on, it could be due to a failed module upgrade or a malfunction during usage. In this case, it is necessary to visit a service station to attempt a firmware update or replace the TBOX module to resolve the issue.

When the RVM icon appeared while driving, my first thought was that there was an issue with the rearview monitoring system. As an experienced electric car owner, my knowledge tells me this likely indicates a camera or sensor malfunction—such as the lens being obstructed by dust or rain, or poor circuit contact. You can do a quick check yourself by inspecting the rear camera area for dirt and cleaning it; if the light persists, restarting the vehicle system might temporarily fix it. However, ignoring it increases the risk of hitting obstacles while reversing, raising the danger level. It’s recommended to visit a professional repair shop as soon as possible for hardware checks or software updates—don’t cut corners. Safety comes first, and regular cleaning of the camera during maintenance can significantly reduce such faults.

I use the Little Ant (Chery eQ1) for commuting, and the other day the RVM light came on, which really freaked me out. After checking online and talking to friends, I learned that RVM most likely stands for Rear View Monitor, indicating a warning for the rearview system. It could be that the camera lens is dirty, causing a blurry image, or the sensor got damp in rainy weather and triggered an error. A simple solution is to gently wipe the lens with a soft cloth and see if the icon disappears; if it doesn’t, a full inspection at the 4S shop is needed. I suggest not delaying and fixing it early to drive with peace of mind. Regularly keeping the rear area clean can prevent such issues, saving both repair time and money.

While driving the Ant, encountering the RVM warning immediately alerted me to its safety implications. A malfunctioning rearview system means obstructed visibility when reversing, especially in crowded garages or at night, which can easily lead to accidents. My priority was to pull over and check if the rear camera was clearly visible and remove any obstructions; if the icon persists, it indicates a hardware issue such as aging circuitry requiring professional repair. Quick response is crucial—never take chances by continuing to drive.
