Messages in the driver display

The driver display can show messages to
inform or assist the driver in the event of dif-
ferent events.

Examples of messages in the driver display. The fig-

ure is schematic - parts may vary depending on car

model.

The driver display shows messages that are of
high priority for the driver.

Messages can be shown in different parts of
the driver display depending on what other
information is currently being displayed. After
a while, or when the message has been
acknowledged/action taken if required, the
message disappears from the driver display. If
a message needs to be saved, it is placed in
the 

Car Status

 app, which is opened from the

app view in the centre display.

Message composition may vary and they can
be shown together with graphics, symbols or
buttons for acknowledging the message or
accepting a request, for example.

Managing the centre display

Many of the car's functions are controlled and
regulated from the centre display. The centre
display is a touch screen that reacts to touch.

Using the touch screen functionality in
the centre display

The screen reacts differently depending on
whether you press, drag or swipe across it.
Actions such as browsing between different
views, marking objects and scrolling in a list

can be performed by touching the screen in
different ways.

An infrared light curtain just above the surface
of the screen enables the screen to detect a
finger that is just in front of the screen. This
technology makes it possible to use the
screen even with gloves on.

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

IMPORTANT

Do not use sharp objects on the screen as
they may scratch it.

The table below presents the different proce-
dures for operating the screen:

Navigating in the centre display's

views

There are five different basic views in the cen-
tre display: home view, top view, climate
view, app view and function view. The screen
is started automatically when the driver's
door is opened.

Home view

Home view is the view that is shown when the
screen is started. It consists of four subviews:

Navigation

, 

Media

, 

Phone

 and an extra sub-

view.

An app or car function selected from the app
or function view starts in the respective sub-
view of the home view. E.g. 

FM radio

 starts in

the 

Media

 tile.

The extra tile shows the last used app or car
function that is not associated with any of the
other three areas.

The subviews show brief information about
each different app.

NOTE

When the car is started, the home view's
various sub-views show information on the
current status of apps.
