Managing the centre display  
IMPORTANT  
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.  
Do not use sharp objects on the screen as  
they may scratch it.  
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.  
Using the touch screen functionality in  
the centre display  
The screen reacts differently depending on  
whether it is touched by dragging, swiping, or  
tapping. Actions such as browsing between  
different views, marking objects and scrolling  
The table below presents the different proce-  
dures for operating the screen:  
Two people can interact with the screen at the  
same time, e.g. to adjust the climate for the  
driver and passenger side respectively.
