Android Auto Operation
Android Auto brings the most useful apps to your phone screen or
unit’s display,in a format that makes it easy for you to keep your
main focus on driving. You can control things like navigation and
maps, calls, text messages and music. With larger touch targets, a
simplified interface, and your Google Assistant, it’s designed to minimize distraction
so you can stay focused on the road.
Availability of Android Auto may vary depending upon your country and phone
model. For more information on how to use and download Android Auto, visit https://

Compatible Devices
What are the requirements to run Android Auto on my phone screen?
An Android phone running Android 5.0 (Lollipop) and up with a data plan is
required to run Android Auto. For best performance, we recommend Android 6.0
(Marshmallow) and up. You can check your phone’s software version by looking at
the About Device section under Settings.
Warning:
Certain uses of the smartphone may not be legal while driving in your jurisdiction,
so you must be aware of and obey any such restrictions. If in doubt as to a particular
function, only perform it while the car is parked. No feature should be used unless it
is safe to do so under the driving conditions you are experiencing.
Google Assistant
With your Google Assistant on Android Auto, you can keep your eyes on the road
and your hands on the wheel while using your voice to help you with your day.
Simply say, “Ok Google,” or in compatible cars, press and hold the voice control
button on your steering wheel.
Navigation
Get real-time traffic alerts to avoid hazards, speed traps and find the fastest route. Or
take a break and find a bite along the way.
Calls & Messages
Your Google Assistant lets you stay connected while you’re driving. Your Assistant
can help you call phone numbers from your contacts, chat with your favorite apps,
read your messages aloud and text back - all while keeping your hands on the wheel.
For best results
• Use an OEM USB cable.
• A car mount for your phone (optional but recommended).
