The central control screen should have the same warranty as the whole vehicle. Check the manual, it's three years or 80,000 kilometers. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. Vehicle central control: The vehicle central control is where comfort and entertainment devices such as air conditioning and audio are controlled. It includes the central control door lock system, allowing the driver to control the opening and closing of all vehicle doors and the window lifting system. 2. Advantages and disadvantages: The fully touch-sensitive central console not only significantly enhances the vehicle's sense of technology and grade but also adds a highlight to its otherwise not-so-avant-garde interior style. However, the issue is that you must align your touch precisely and allow a certain reaction time and pressure for the touch-sensitive buttons. Operations like adjusting volume or temperature can result in errors if the touch time is too short or the finger pressure is too light.

I remember the dealer mentioned the warranty for the center control display when I bought the car. That thing usually follows the basic vehicle warranty, typically around three years, or with specific mileage limits. However, it varies by brand—some luxury cars might offer five years for electronic components, while economy models might only provide two. I’ve driven several cars, and once when the center screen malfunctioned, I checked the user manual and found it was covered under the electronic systems warranty. I recommend taking photos of the serial number and warranty card as soon as you get a new car, so you can directly contact the 4S shop if the screen goes black or the touch function fails. Also, avoid modifying the screen during the warranty period—some unauthorized disassembly can void the warranty. It’s best to check the display condition during regular maintenance.

I found that the warranty duration for the central control screen really depends on the manufacturer's policy. Mainstream Japanese cars mostly start with three years or 60,000 kilometers, but imported or high-end brands may extend it to five years. My buddy had a flickering display on his new car last year, and when he checked at the 4S store, he found it was still a few months under warranty, so he got a free replacement. I usually recommend checking owner forums—details about warranty specifics for different models can be found online. Besides the duration, don’t overlook the coverage scope—some only cover hardware but not software, like system crashes, which can be troublesome. So, make sure to clarify the terms when buying a car.

In my experience, the warranty for the central control display is mostly covered under the vehicle's warranty period, usually free repairs within three years if issues arise. The key is not to exceed the warranty period or modify the wiring. Keep track of maintenance dates yourself to prevent unexpected issues.
