Note
Install Android Auto on your phone and have an active internet connection
To be able to use Android Auto, you need to have the Android Auto app installed on your phone and an active internet connection.
Connect your phone to the car by plugging a suitable USB cable into your phone and the car's USB port which has a white highlight around it. If you are using Android Auto for the first time, you need to accept the terms and conditions in the centre display, then Android Auto will start. If you have used Android Auto before, it will automatically start when you connect your phone to the car.
Android Auto view
You can access the Android Auto view by opening the Android Auto app in the app library. If the Android Auto symbol 
is shown in the contextual bar, you can also access the view by pressing this symbol.
Once active, the Android Auto view takes up the whole of the centre 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 Android Auto
You can use navigation apps on your phone via Android Auto. If you start a navigation route via Android Auto, you can see the guidance in the centre display's Android Auto view as well as in the driver display. If you are following a navigation route in the car's own navigation app and then start another navigation route in Android Auto, the driver display navigation for the car's own app will end.
Using Google Assistant
Talk to Google Assistant on Android Auto to carry out tasks with your voice so that you can keep your focus on driving. To use Google Assistant, just say "Hey Google" or press and hold the voice control button 
on the steering wheel while Android Auto is active.
You can use Google Assistant to carry out tasks such as sending messages, getting directions or controlling media.
