GEELY Auto Australia has announced the roll-out of an important over-the-air (OTA) software update for its popular EX5 electric SUV.
The OTA update – which was delivered to customers this week – provides three key enhancements Geely says will “elevate everyday usability and the overall driving experience” of its popular electric model.
Included in the bundle is the ability for the infotainment system of the EX5 to now support Android Auto connectivity – both wired and wirelessly – alongside the ability to customise various ADAS systems to offer a choice of lower volume and less invasive audio profiles.
Additionally, the latest round of software updates further includes one-touch activation of the vehicle’s Drive Setup profile, allowing EX5 drivers to quickly select their preferred settings profile via the steering wheel shortcut button or infotainment screen swipe-down menu.
The Drive Setup profile of the Geely EX5 allows drivers to personalise the Drive Mode in which the vehicle is operated (Eco, Comfort, or Sport), the severity of Energy Regeneration offered (Low, Medium, High, or Auto), the activation of Lane Keeping and Emergency Lane Keeping Assist (On or Off), Driver Fatigue Detection (On or Off), and Speed Limit Alert (Off, Blinking Icon, or combined Blinking Icon and Sound Alert).
The update also adds Tailgate Control to the infotainment screen swipe-down menu and a notification to confirm the switching of vehicle Drive Mode.
Geely says the update can be easily performed via the vehicle’s infotainment screen and recommends that EX5 customers carryout the update when connected to their home or mobile phone’s Wi-Fi connection.
