The different bars provide status information, display shortcuts to apps or quick controls, and allow you to navigate around the centre display views. The main views let you use and access navigation information, in-car apps, climate, car status and settings. There are also some specialised views for managing specific car functions.
Centre display bars
The status bar at the top of the centre display shows you symbols relating to the car's status and apps, along with the time and outside temperature. The bottom bar is your main way of navigating around the centre display views. By pressing the symbols, you can get to other views and functions as well as bring up the comfort view and activate the hazard warning lights. The status bar and bottom bar are always visible, regardless of which view you are looking at.
In some views, you will see the contextual bar appear above the bottom bar. This bar contains shortcuts to recently used functions or apps that only appear when you can use them. Sometimes these shortcuts are replaced by quick controls which allow you to control ongoing phone calls and media when the associated views or widgets aren't visible.
Main views
Home view | The home view shows a large navigation map and so it also works as the navigation view. There are widgets with quick controls for media and phone underneath the map. The home view is accessed from other views by pressing the home symbol in the bottom bar. |
App library | You can access the manual, in-car apps and the app store in this view. To get to this view, press the app library symbol in the bottom bar. |
Climate view | You can change a variety of climate settings in this view, such as activating or deactivating defrosters and adjusting settings for air conditioning. The climate view is accessed by pressing the fan symbol in the bottom bar. |
Car overview | This view gives you access to the quick controls, settings and car status tabs as well as user profiles. These come together to give you an overview of the car which can be accessed by pressing the car symbol in the bottom bar. |
Quick controls view | This view gives you quick and easy access to some of the car's functions, such as exterior lights and driver adjustments. You can get to the quick controls view by pressing the car symbol in the bottom bar. |
Settings view | This view is where you can access all of the different settings tabs and views for your car. You can get to the settings view by pressing the car symbol in the bottom bar. |
Car status view | This view shows you important information relating to your car's status, such as issues that need resolving and the severity of them. You can also see the odometer and when a service is due. It can be accessed by pressing the car symbol in the bottom bar. |
Specialised views
Comfort view | The comfort view appears when you press the seat symbol in the bottom bar that corresponds to the driver or passenger side. This view gives each side quick access to a few essential climate and comfort settings, such as seat heating and temperature control. |
Adjustments view | You can adjust the seats, wing mirrors, steering wheel and head-up display in the adjustments view. These are grouped together because they relate to your driving position. For example, if you change your seat position, you probably also need to adjust the wing mirrors, steering wheel height and head-up display. |
Parking view | The parking view contains features that help you park. When shown, it takes up most of the centre display. If the parking view doesn't automatically appear when you need it to, you can open it yourself by pressing the camera symbol in the contextual bar above the bottom bar. |
Note
Driver distraction overlay
What you can see and do in the centre display sometimes depends on whether the car is moving or not. To minimise driver distraction while the car is moving, some views become unavailable, such as certain settings. When this happens, the centre display shows the driver distraction overlay. When the car stops moving, the overlay disappears and you can interact with the view again.
