Note

Stay parked during setup

The car needs to be stationary and in P when you go through the setup guide.

Complete setup

It's advisable to complete the setup before driving the car. If you exit the guide before going through the necessary steps,

certain features will be unavailable until you complete the process. You will be reminded about the setup the next time

you drive the car. You can also go to profile settings and complete it whenever you want to.

No guide?

If the car has already been set up by someone else, such as a previous owner, you can reset the car by ending the owner-

ship. This will allow you to access the setup guide again.
