Where is the car display reset?

Car display reset can be done either through the power button on the center console or by directly turning off and restarting the vehicle. If the display is frozen, it should return to normal operation after the vehicle is turned off and restarted. The solution is to check if any new software has been downloaded recently, as the freeze might be caused by unstable programs or insufficient memory. In such cases, it is necessary to free up some memory and uninstall related software. The car display, also known as the multi-information display, presents part of the vehicle's computer data through the screen. It typically shows driving information and multimedia content. Most vehicle computers display data such as average fuel consumption, instantaneous fuel consumption, outside temperature, average speed, driving time, and single-trip mileage, allowing drivers to stay informed about their vehicle's status.
Last time I tried restarting the car display myself, there are generally two simple methods: press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds while the display is on to restart it, or check if there's a small round reset button and use a SIM ejector tool to press it. If your car has a volume knob, you can also reset it by holding the knob for 10 seconds after turning off the engine and then powering it back on. Back then, my display froze and went black, and it took me half an hour to remember checking the location written on the back of the manual—only to find the button hidden in a gap under the steering wheel. A word of advice: don’t poke around randomly. Last time, my neighbor’s kid messed with the buttons and reset the system, wiping out all the navigation records. If you really can’t find it, check your car’s manual—button locations vary wildly between brands. German cars tend to hide them on the side of storage compartments, while Japanese cars prefer spots near the steering wheel.
