Why Does the Car's Central Control Screen Frequently Restart Automatically?

[LeBriella]

The frequent automatic restart of a car's central control screen is usually caused by insufficient battery voltage or issues with the relay in the fuse box. Below is an introduction to the functions related to the central control screen: 1. Electronic Stability Program (ESP): Effectively prevents loss of control situations such as skidding or fishtailing. It is generally not recommended for drivers to manually turn it off. 2. Hazard Warning Lights (commonly known as hazard lights): Used in special situations such as car breakdowns or temporary parking, mainly serving to alert other vehicles. 3. Parking Radar/Image: The central control screen displays the reverse image, and the radar will sound an alarm when detecting nearby obstacles. 4. Driving Assistance System: Includes functions such as warning protection, close-distance warning, and fatigue reminders. 5. Auto Hold: During red lights, it relieves foot fatigue by automatically locking the wheels with the brake calipers. Pressing the accelerator again will allow the vehicle to continue moving. 6. Auto Start-Stop: The engine will shut off during brief stops. When the driver's foot leaves the brake pedal, the vehicle will restart.

Having driven for over a decade, when encountering frequent infotainment screen reboots, experience tells me it's usually due to software bugs or system conflicts. Many car infotainment systems, like smartphones, tend to freeze and auto-reboot after updates. It could also be caused by full memory, where running too many apps leads to crashes. Unstable battery voltage, such as from an aging battery with inconsistent output, can also cause the screen to power off and restart. I recommend first trying to reboot the system or restore factory settings to clear cached data. If that doesn't work, check the battery status and charging system to ensure stable voltage. In severe cases, it might be a hardware issue, like a faulty cooling fan causing overheating, requiring professional repair. This problem affects navigation and music playback, so timely resolution is crucial to avoid driving distractions.

I've experienced the issue of the central control screen constantly rebooting, which is usually caused by system software problems. The infotainment system, much like a computer, can freeze or crash after prolonged use, especially if too many apps are installed or the map data is outdated. Another possible cause is interference from external devices, such as voltage fluctuations triggered when charging via the car's USB port or playing music through a connected phone. I recommend deleting unnecessary programs and upgrading to the latest software patches. Check for loose power connections and, if necessary, disconnect external devices for testing. This issue is annoying, but focusing on software solutions can save a lot of trouble. In severe cases, take the car to a 4S shop to inspect the module or electronic control unit. Don’t overlook daily usage habits, such as reducing high-frequency operations.

My car's central control screen occasionally reboots automatically, often due to physical factors like overheating or poor power contact. Parking in the sun during summer or driving for long periods can cause poor heat dissipation, triggering the protection mechanism to restart. It could also be caused by loose connectors in the back or aging wiring. I did a quick check on the connectors, and tightening them fixed it. Power instability, such as a weak battery or too many devices plugged into the cigarette lighter, is also common. Try turning off the engine and waiting a few minutes before restarting. If the issue persists, it's best to check the hardware to avoid compromising safety.
