Three of the center display's basic views. Swipe to the right/left to access Function or App view¹.

Function view ‒ vehicle functions that can be activated or deactivated with one tap. Certain functions, called "trigger functions", open windows with settings options. One example is the Camera. Settings for the head-up display* are also started from Function view, but adjusted using the right-side steering wheel keypad.

Home view ‒ the initial view displayed when the screen is turned on.

App view – shows downloaded apps (third-party apps) as well as apps for integrated functions, such as FM radio. Tap an app icon to open that app.
