also read incoming text messages so you
don’t have to.

Uconnect system, launch CarPlay, and push
and hold the VR button on the steering wheel
to use Siri to set your desired destination.

ing the reading process, the Shuffle and
Browse functions will be disabled. This pro-
cess is needed to ensure the full use of your

connected. After the first time, the reading
process of your device will take considerably
less time unless changes are made or new
songs are added to the playlist.
