Faced the first niggle on my brand new XUV 300: Here's what it was

Technician pulled out a couple of fuses, and reset them. And that seems to have done the trick.

BHPian ashishk29 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Experienced my first "niggle" as such with the 300.

The other day I was sitting in my car, and I accidentally ended up bumping the key fob onto the steering while, thereby hitting the "lock" button. And with unfortunate timing I ended up pressing the start/stop button at the same time

This led to the main infotainment display going totally blank. It just wouldn't power on. Tried restarting the car a couple of times to no avail. The MID and console were working just fine.

Ended up taking the car to the service center. Technician pulled out a couple of fuses, and reseated them. And that seems to have done the trick. It started working.

Interesting little tidbit, the time in the MID also goes blank when this happens. Meaning the time is still being maintained by the infotainment, and not whatever controller is running the MID.

Here's what BHPian bugs123 had to say on the matter:

I had the same issue with a brand new 2023 XUV 300, just after 3 months from date of purchase. Without even driving the car I could reproduce the issue just by turning the steering wheel. I went to the service centre and they immediately diagnosed it as they already knew the cause. All they did was replacing the linkages in warranty and I was all sorted.
