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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
