It occurs when the CID processor falls under irregularly high load conditions. 5 System reboot due to application failure. Software robustness has been imporved to prevent CID and CCU from resetting whenever its individual function fails. 6 When the vehicle comes to a place on a highway where there are multiple exits with combinations of alphabets and numbers (see example below) the CID cannot process the information correctly for turn-by-turn navigation and restarts. Example: 7 CID restarts when Navigation system is re-routing the route crossing the border of the states. When the customer veered off navigated route and the re-routed route includes the roads across the boarder of states, the calculation is not properly processed and the CID restarts. 8 CID restarts, while it is connected to Wi-Fi. It occurs when Wi-Fi signal includes illegible data. 9 CID restarts after the ignition switch is turned off and on again before the CID shuts off. 10 No functional response on touch screen in Radio mode even though the touch sound and visual reaction are confirmed. 11 Reprogramming process takes extensive time (40 minutes or more.)
