What you can check
If the interface freezes or goes completely black, read the dashboard message and check the guide book for the specific reboot procedure. Ensure the vehicle is stationary before attempting a system restart. Clean the glass with a dry microfibre cloth to remove moisture or dirt that might interfere with touch inputs.
Dealer-only repairs and warranty
Permanent panel failure, dead pixels, or rotating mechanism faults require replacement by an authorised workshop. Software glitches requiring a complete module reflash must also be handled by a qualified technician. Display components are covered by the main vehicle warranty against manufacturing defects.
