What is the reason for the Lavida Plus displaying insufficient 12V voltage?

The reason for the Lavida Plus displaying insufficient 12V voltage is due to low battery voltage. In such cases, the battery should be promptly inspected. Taking the 2021 Lavida Plus as an example, its body structure is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan with dimensions of length 4670mm, width 1806mm, height 1474mm, and a wheelbase of 2688mm. The 2021 Lavida Plus features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, maximum power of 110kW, maximum torque of 250Nm, and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
My Lavida Plus also frequently shows a 12V voltage insufficient warning, usually indicating battery issues. After three or four years of use, batteries tend to age, leading to unstable voltage. If the alternator fails, the car won’t charge, and the voltage will keep dropping. Loose wiring connections or leakage are also quite common, especially after rainy days when humidity is high. I recommend first checking the battery’s charge—use a multimeter to measure the voltage before and after starting the car. If the difference is too large, it’s time to replace the battery. Try to minimize the use of additional electrical devices, like dashcams running continuously, as they add extra load. Always turn off all lights when parking. Last year, I neglected this once and couldn’t start the car, delaying my work. Get it checked at a 4S shop promptly to avoid bigger issues, as this directly affects starting safety.
