Tips for using Android Auto

Here are some useful tips for using Android
Auto

•

Ensure that your apps are updated.

•

When starting the car, wait until the cen-
tre display has started, connect the device
and then open Android Auto from the app
view.

•

In the event of problems with Android
Auto, disconnect your Android device from
the USB port and then reconnect via USB.
Otherwise, try closing the app on the
device and then restarting the app.

•

When a device is connected to Android
Auto it is still possible to playback media
via Bluetooth to another media player. The
Bluetooth function is on when Android
Auto is used.

•

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.

•

If the device is connected to the car via
Bluetooth, the connection will be interrup-
ted when Android Auto is used. Resume
the Internet connection in the car by shar-
ing the Internet via the Wi-Fi hotspot from
the device.

wirelessly to the car's built-in hands-free sys-
tem.

free, with the facility to remotely control a
selection of the phone's functions. The phone
can still be operated with its own keys even if
it is connected to the car.

When a phone has been connected online and
connected with the car, it can be used make
calls, send/receive messages, play back media
wirelessly and be used as an Internet connec-
tion.

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.

Availability may vary depending on market.

nected Bluetooth devices can be stored in the
car.

Wireless phone charger

There is a charging plate for wireless phone
charging located in the tunnel console.

A condition for being able to charge
the phone is that it supports wireless
charging (Qi). Phones not equipped
with wireless charging receivers can

often be supplemented with a shell that
makes wireless charging possible.

WARNING

Wireless charging may affect the operation

of an implanted pacemaker or other medi-

cal devices. If you have one, it is recom-

mended to consult with your doctor before

using the wireless charging system.

other devices that could be affected by the
charging plate. Confirm that the charging
plate should be switched on in the centre dis-
play.

To use the wireless charging plate:

1. Check that the charging plate is switched

on in the function view of the centre dis-
play.

2. Remove all other objects from the charg-

ing plate and position the phone in the
centre of the charging plate.
> Phone charging is started and the

symbol is shown at the top in the cen-
tre display.

IMPORTANT

Avoid storing cards with Near Field Com-
munication (NFC), such as debit cards for
contactless payment, together with the
phone. This type of card can be destroyed
when charging is in progress.

Some phones may become hot during
wireless charging. This is normal.

If the phone does not charge:

•

Check that the charging plate is switched
on in the function view of the centre dis-
play.

•

Check that the charging plate is free from
other objects.

•

Check that the phone supports wireless
charging (Qi).

•

Remove the case from the phone if one is
fitted.

•

Lift the phone and position it in the centre
of the charging plate once again.

•

Check that the car is running.

If the phone is positioned incorrectly, or if
objects prevent charging on the charging
plate, a message is shown in the centre dis-
play.

IMPORTANT

Keep the phone and charging plate free of
other objects while charging to avoid over-
heating.
