Additional features implemented in the update include automatic activation of the rear fog light in rainy conditions and a steering wheel centering reminder. The charging infrastructure has also seen improvements with remote control and automatic resume capabilities for home charging stations. All variants of the Xiaomi YU7 model will receive these updates.
