Using the center display

Many of the vehicle's functions can be controlled and settings can be made from the screen in the center console, referred to in this owner's information as the center display, which is a touchscreen.

Using the center display's touchscreen functionality

Two people can interact with the screen at the same time, e.g., to adjust the temperature for the driver and passenger sides.

The screen reacts differently depending on whether the user taps, drags or swipes on the screen. This makes it possible to move between views, mark objects, scroll in lists and move apps by touching the screen in various ways. The following table lists the gestures that can be used on the screen:

An infrared film on the screen enables it to react if a finger is directly in front of the screen (but not actually touching it). This makes it possible to use the screen while wearing gloves.

 Important

Do not touch the screen with sharp objects because this could cause scratches.
