5. Technology upgrade tips
Some models of the new Lavida are equipped withIntelligent flameout system, when it detects that the door is not closed or the gear is abnormal, a warning will be given through the instrument panel and the power supply will be maintained. According to data released by Volkswagen’s official Weibo on July 15, this function reduced the misoperation rate by 18%.
It is recommended that car owners regularly check the battery power of the key (normal service life is about 2 years) to avoid being unable to turn off the car normally due to remote control failure. If there is a system failure, you can try to use the mechanical key to unlock the system.
Through standardized operation and timely maintenance, the service life of the vehicle can be effectively extended. If you encounter a special flameout problem, you should contact the 4S store in time to read the fault code to avoid dismantling it by yourself and causing a larger failure.
