Why is the center console screen still on after locking the car?
2 Answers
If the car doors are locked but the center console screen remains illuminated, it indicates that a door is not properly closed. It is recommended to open and close each door several times. If the issue persists after this procedure, try restarting the ignition. Additional information: Damage caused by slamming car doors: 1. It can harm both the door and the car body: Some car owners complain about excessive noise from their vehicles, and slamming doors can exacerbate this issue. 2. It accelerates door aging: The connection between the door and the car body involves hinges and limiters. Frequent forceful closing can loosen these components, leading to internal door part loosening as well. 3. It can cause permanent door deformation: Regularly slamming doors may result in permanent displacement (deformation) of the door, which might not be visible to the naked eye.
I also encountered this situation when I first drove this car. After locking the car, the central control screen kept staying on without turning off. The most common reason is the delayed shutdown function, which is designed to allow the system to exit safely, so the screen may remain lit for a few seconds to a minute or two before automatically turning off. However, if it stays on for several minutes, it could be an issue with the door sensor, such as a door not being fully closed or a dirty sensor causing misjudgment, making the system think someone is still sitting in the car. I recommend first relocking the car and ensuring all doors are tightly closed, then waiting to see if the screen turns off. Additionally, keeping the car key too close can interfere with the system, so avoid placing the key near the car. Most of the time, it's a minor issue, but if it happens frequently, it’s best to get it repaired to avoid excessive battery drain affecting the next startup.
