Chery Tiggo 9

Infotainment & Shortcuts

• Swipe-down Quick Menu: Swipe down from the top of the 15.6-inch screen for quick toggles — essential since there are almost no physical buttons.
• Reset Service Reminder: Settings > Vehicle Settings > Maintenance reminder > Reset > Confirm Reset. Do it in your garage, no tools needed.
• Disable Auto Window-up on Lock: Central screen > Vehicle Settings > uncheck "Automatic Window Lifting when Locking the Car". Owners do this to leave a gap for heat/pets.

Key Fob Hidden Functions

The most viral owner tip — saved by almost every new owner.

• Hold Unlock 2–3 sec: Windows drop halfway; hold longer = fully open.
• Hold Lock: Windows go up again.
• Hold Lock again: Panoramic sunroof closes fully, then remote-starts the engine.

Voice Assistant — "Hello Chery"

Speak it exactly. Works even with music playing.

• Say "Hello Chery" then: "Open the sunroof" / "Put the windows up"
• "Set AC to 18 degrees"
• "Open sunroof" — great for hot Australian days
• The central display shows "Please say Hello Chery" when ready.

Driving Modes — 7 Modes

• Eco: Everyday urban, best fuel saving
• Normal: Balanced comfort
• Sport: Sharper throttle, 900+ Nm feel in PHEV
• Sand / Mud / Snow / Off-Road: Optimised traction — use Snow even for heavy rain
• Pro tip: The hybrid system auto-chooses EV vs petrol. Leave it in Auto/HEV for city driving; don't force EV unless under 20 km.

Comfort & Family Hacks

• Massage + Ventilated Seats: Turn on massage after a gym run to cool down. Controlled via the touchscreen.
• Keyless Entry: As long as the key is on your body, in a bag, or in the car, you don't need to take it out to start.
• 3rd Row Access: Pull the lever to fold and slide the second row forward. Australian owners warn the left side doesn't lift-and-tilt — enter from the kerbside/roadside and plan child seat placement accordingly.
• Boot with 7 seats up: Still fits a stroller + weekly shop. Fold the 3rd row flat for full cargo — it goes completely flat so you can even lie down.
• Wireless Charger: Located under the central screen — shows charging percentage.

ADAS & Safety Tips

• 23 ADAS functions + 10 airbags. Owners recommend tuning down lane-keeping sensitivity in suburban streets — it can be too aggressive.
• Cruise + Lane Assist: Left spoke on the steering wheel. Dashboard shows "Cruise Control Ready" with lane graphics.
• 360° Camera: Tap the camera button or select reverse. Multiple views (front, top-down, side) — a favourite for tight car parks.
• Self-Parking: On the 15.6-inch screen, select a parking spot and let it park itself.
