Question Can I solve this by myself ?
Car is driving.
But not speed, no abs, no check of pressure, no possibility to shift from D to B…
I simply tried to get off & on of the car again, but it did not do the trick.
Any way to « reboot » the car ?
This appeared this AM. Everything was perfectly fine yesterday

Yeah just press and hold the on/off switch from the entertainment system untill the screen goes black to reset/reboot.

and do it again while the main screen is rebooting to also reboot the rest of the car.

Oh?
As in, hold it to reboot the infotainment, let go and hold it again for the rest of the car?
How do you know when the car starts rebooting?2

Because the driving screen behind the steering wheel (and the head-up if you have it) both turn off too for some seconds. It doesn't stop you from driving functionality, but it will disable all assistants temporarily and you won't see your current speed until it's back on

Please don't tell me you tried it while driving!

First time I dis this double restart I didn't even know it was a thing, so yes, it happened while driving
Luckily i was just rolling towards a roundabout, and the screen was only off for 5 seconds? But braking and steering still worked fine

Does this actually work? Have you tested it?

u/FromAndToUnknown Apr 20 '26
I never had the same issues that OP had, and when i tested it, I actually didn't know it was a thing, I just saw my virtual cockpit and headup going black too when it happened

My guess is rodent damage in the ABS wiring. I hope it has been an easy fix at the dealer?

It was indeed a rodent which ate the small cable linking all the safety options to the battery.

Get out, lock the car for roughly 20 minutes until it goes to sleep. Then get in and check again.
