Maintenance

Cleaning the Screen:

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Arfepa touchscreen display, try the following troubleshooting steps. If the problem persists, please contact customer support.

Common Issues and Solutions:

• No Display/Black Screen:

  • Verify that the vehicle's ignition is on and the Uconnect system is powered.
  • Temporarily disconnect and reconnect the vehicle's battery (negative terminal first) to perform a system reset.

• Distorted Image/Flickering:
  • Check for loose or damaged ribbon cables connecting the display.
  • Ensure the display is securely mounted and not experiencing excessive vibration.
