Xiaomi SU7 Ultra Rolls Out OTA 1.17 with Frame Parking Assist and More

Xiaomi SU7 Ultra began rolling out its OTA 1.17 update on August 8, covering enhancements in both advanced driver assistance and intelligent cockpit features. New functionalities include: - **Box-drawing parking assist**: On surfaces without marked parking lines, users can drag a virtual parking box on the central display to define a target spot, after which the vehicle automatically parks itself. - **Front-in parking assist**: Users can toggle between front-in or rear-in parking modes with one tap on the parking interface, supporting both perpendicular and angled parking spaces. - **Rear-out parking assist**: When the vehicle’s front end is positioned deep inside a parking space, users can select left or right rear-out direction via the central display, compatible with both perpendicular and angled spots. In terms of driver assistance, the update optimizes: - Acceleration and deceleration control strategies during driving assistance scenarios; - Lane selection capability ahead of intersections for urban navigation pilot; - Vehicle speed control and lane selection logic on high-curvature bends for highway navigation pilot; - A new **forward-reverse collision alert**: When the vehicle is in Drive (D) at low speed and detects an approaching reversing vehicle ahead with collision risk, the system alerts the driver and flashes high/low beams. For the intelligent cockpit: - The “Super XiaoAI Large Model” mode toggle has been removed, with large model mode now enabled by default; - **Soda Music** app is now available in the app store and can be added to the driving desktop; - The **Super Toy Box** pet feature now supports magnetic interaction: placing a magnetic pet toy on the left wireless charging pad while in Park (P) triggers exclusive animations and ambient lighting effects; - **Zen Mode** now includes dynamic Xiaomi Imaging visual effects, with image watermarking enabled by default; - Headlight and position light settings in Parking Space Lighting have been adjusted: low beams and position lights automatically turn off when entering Nap, Camping, or Parking Power Keep modes, and do not revert to their previous state upon exit. Additionally, the Xiaomi Auto app introduces: - **Charging statistics**, allowing users to view charging volume and duration by day, month, or year, along with electricity cost estimates based on default or custom rates; - Support for remote activation of rapid cooling/heating; - The 20kW home DC charger now offers **vehicle-initiated scheduled charging** and **smart resume charging**: if charging is interrupted—due to manual stop from the vehicle or power loss after completion—the system can automatically resume the session, and users can initiate scheduled charging directly from the vehicle; - Expanded **vehicle maintenance monitoring**, with proactive push notifications for more service items when maintenance is due; - Automatic rear fog light activation in rainy conditions; - Optimized seat position adjustment logic; - A new **custom child seat position reminder** in seat settings, triggering safety alerts in specific scenarios.
