Tip
Connect your iPhone and start CarPlay
Connect your iPhone to the car via Bluetooth and activate Apple CarPlay. After setting up CarPlay for the first time, it automatically starts when you connect your phone via Bluetooth again.
CarPlay view
You can access the CarPlay view by opening the CarPlay app in the app library. If the CarPlay symbol 
is shown in the contextual bar, you can also access the view by pressing this symbol.
Once active, the CarPlay view takes up the whole of the main area of the display. However, the bottom bar, contextual bar and status bar will still be visible at all times if you want to return to the car's own system.
Navigation with CarPlay
You can use navigation apps on your iPhone via Apple CarPlay. If you start a navigation route via CarPlay, you can see the guidance in the display's CarPlay view.
Using Siri
If you want to use Siri instead of the car's in-built digital assistant, press and hold the voice control button 
on the steering wheel while CarPlay is active.
You can use Siri to read out, write and send messages. Siri will read and write messages in the language selected in the Siri settings on your iPhone. If you write a message via Siri, the car's display won't show you your message but it will be displayed on your iPhone.
