Handling the center display

Many of the vehicle's functions and features can
be controlled and adjusted from the center dis-
play. The center display is a touchscreen that
reacts to taps and other gestures.

Using the center display's touchscreen

The touchscreen reacts differently depending on
whether the user taps, drags or swipes the
screen. It is possible to e.g. move between differ-

ent views, mark objects, scroll in a list and move
apps by touching the screen in various ways.

An infrared light curtain just above the surface of
the screen enables the screen to detect when a
finger is directly in front of the screen. This tech-
nology makes it possible to use the screen even
while wearing gloves.

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

CAUTION

Do not use sharp objects on the screen as
this could cause scratches.

The following table presents the various proce-
dures for using the screen:
