Didi
33 of 62 known sticking points
The app auto-switches your car type at the last second
You picked a bigger car but Didi reverts it on confirm. Uncheck other types and confirm directly.
Didi can revert your car type on confirm.
What you'll see
If your car type changes after you confirm, Didi re-matched to a default:
Car type changed · Switched to Express
滴滴 App 显示：车型已变更 / 已切换为快车
Error-text level: L2 (observed wording). Exact in-app strings are being verified against a live device.
Why it happens
Didi sometimes returns a smaller default car if the selected type is scarce. The selection resets unless you lock it in before confirming.
Fastest fix, free:
After entering the destination, uncheck every car type you do not want, then tap Confirm directly without going back.

The full fix sequence (free)
- Uncheck every car type you do not want before confirming.
- Do not tap the back arrow, it resets your selection.
- Tap Confirm at the bottom directly.
- If it still switches, cancel and retry, or pick Premium.
When the fast fix isn't enough
In the kit
When the car type keeps switching, the kit shows the tap sequence that locks it in.
1. The lookup table
The exact taps to keep your chosen car type on confirm.
2. The trigger matrix
Which car types get auto-switched most and when Premium holds.
3. Offline printable version
The lock-in steps as a printable card.
If nothing works
If the car type will not stay:
- Cancel and request again, choosing a less switched type.
- Use Premium (专车) which holds the type better.
- Call the driver and confirm the car type by phone.
