Vehicle screens

Screen settings, software updates, and distraction awareness

A well set up screen shows what you need and nothing more. Adjusting brightness, layout, and alerts helps keep attention on the road.

  1. 01

    Adjusting brightness and night mode

    Glare at night is tiring and distracting.

    • Set display brightness to automatic if available.
    • Enable night or dark mode for evening driving.
    • Dim the instrument cluster separately if your vehicle allows it.
  2. 02

    Installing infotainment software updates

    Updates can fix bugs and improve phone compatibility.

    • Check settings for a software or system update menu.
    • Park somewhere safe with good signal if the update downloads over the air.
    • Do not turn off the vehicle during installation unless instructed.
  3. 03

    Reducing in-car distraction

    The best setup is one you rarely need to touch while moving.

    • Turn on your phone's driving focus mode to silence non-urgent alerts.
    • Place your most used apps on the first screen.
    • Make adjustments while parked and use voice controls while driving.
    • Follow local laws on handheld device use.
