Safety & legal notes (concise)

  • Use only official firmware from the manufacturer or authorized dealer.
  • Unauthorized firmware can void warranties and impair safety-critical systems.
  • If your region requires emissions/inspection compliance, avoid installing unofficial ECU tunes disguised as firmware.

⚠️ Important Warning Regarding Firmware Updates

If you are planning to perform a firmware update to gain these features, please adhere to the following safety guidelines to avoid "bricking" your system:

  1. Visit an Authorized Dealer: It is highly recommended to have firmware updates performed at an authorized Chery service center. They have the correct encrypted files for your specific region (VIN code).
  2. Avoid "SD Card" Updates from Internet Forums: Downloading firmware from forums or Telegram groups is risky. If the firmware is meant for a different hardware version or region, it can disable your AC controls, reverse camera, or brick the main unit entirely.
  3. Do Not Interrupt: If you are performing an Over-the-Air (OTA) update, do not turn off the engine or press the reset button. Interruption corrupts the system files.

Summary: The "informative feature" you are likely looking for is the optimization of the Dual Curved Screens, specifically regarding Voice Command accuracy, Navigation Maps, and the visual themes of the Driver Instrument Cluster.

If you have a specific update version number (e.g., V2.0, V3.0), please provide it, and I can give you the specific changelog for that version.

Positive Improvements:

  • Faster boot-up time for the infotainment system (from 15 seconds down to 8).
  • Sharper backup camera at night (improved gain and noise reduction).
  • More responsive touch on the climate control screen.
  • New features such as customizable ambient lighting patterns or additional dash layouts.

Error 2: Progress bar freezes at 50% or 95%

  • Cause: Corrupted download or slow USB drive.
  • Fix: You must restart. Turn the car off for 60 seconds. Start the engine again. Re-download the firmware from a reliable source and repeat the process. Never unplug the drive during the freeze unless the car has been off for 60 seconds.

Key Areas Needing Improvement

  • Navigation maps – Built-in navigation rarely gets map data updates; most owners rely on CarPlay/Android Auto.
  • Voice command accuracy – Still considered mediocre compared to Chinese rivals (BYD, Geely).
  • Camera activation speed – 360° camera still takes 2–3 seconds to appear after reverse gear engagement, even after updates.
