ANDROID AUTO
NOTE:
By default, Android Auto is configured in
the infotainment system. Thereby, when
you connect your Android Auto enabled
smartphone with the infotainment
system you will be prompted to select
whether you would like to continue the
phone connection for Android Auto.
NOTE:
If the connection with the infotainment
system is lost, the app is disconnected
and infotainment system displays the
Home screen.
Using Android Auto, you can access the Google Maps, Google
Play Music, communication functionalities (receives and
make phone calls, receive and send messages and so on) of
your smartphone through the infotainment system. Even in
the infotainment system, you just need to provide voice
actions to control these functionalities, without removing
your hand from the steering wheel.
Any new message that you receive on your phone is
displayed on the Home screen and readout to you. You can
either reply to the SMS with a default message like “I am
Driving”.
You can use
Google Assistant
(voice recognition) so that
your voice actions are recognized. To activate, tap the
Mic
icon (highlighted in the above figure)
