Auto is used.

The phone is operated from the centre display,

but also via voice recognition and the app

menu, which are accessed from the right-hand

steering wheel keypad.

If the icon for Android Auto is greyed out,

this means no device is connected. When

you connect your device the icon will be

illuminated. If the icon is not visible at all

then the car does not have support for

connecting a device for this purpose.

Bluetooth, the connection will be interrup-

ted when Android Auto is used. Resume
