What to Do When the Electric Car Screen Stays On?
2 Answers
Turn the power on and then off, listen for a "beep" sound to deactivate the alarm; if you hear three "beep beep beep" sounds, repeat the process until you hear a single "beep" sound. When the display screen remains lit, it is often due to rain affecting it. First, deactivate the alarm, then visit an after-sales service station.
Last time I drove my friend's electric pickup, I also encountered the issue of the screen staying on. It took me quite a while to figure it out. First, you need to distinguish whether it's on while driving or after turning off the engine—these are completely different situations. If the screen doesn't turn off while driving, it might be a settings issue. Go to the vehicle control menu and look for the screen standby option; some electric vehicles are set to permanent display by default. If the screen stays glaringly bright after turning off the engine, it's most likely a system freeze. The solution I usually use is to press and hold the volume knob for 15 seconds to force a reboot of the infotainment system—just like when a smartphone freezes. If that doesn’t work, check if any modifications have been made to the wiring recently. Incorrectly installed dashcams with wrong fuse connections can also cause system abnormalities. Finally, a reminder: leaving it like this not only drains the battery but can also lead to screen overheating and aging in the summer. It's best to resolve it within three days.
