Managing the centre display

IMPORTANT

Many of the car's functions are controlled and

regulated from the centre display. The centre

display is a touch screen that reacts to touch.

Do not use sharp objects on the screen as

they may scratch it.

An infrared light curtain just above the surface

of the screen enables the screen to detect a

finger that is just in front of the screen. This

technology makes it possible to use the

screen even with gloves on.

Using the touch screen functionality in

the centre display

The screen reacts differently depending on

whether you press, drag or swipe across it.

Actions such as browsing between different

views, marking objects and scrolling in a list

The table below presents the different proce-

dures for operating the screen:

same time, e.g. to adjust the climate for the

driver and passenger side respectively.
