Navigating in the centre display's

views

There are five different basic views in the cen-
tre display: home view, top view, climate
view, application view (app view) and func-
tion 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.
