Table of settings in the center
display
The center display's Settings menu has a num-
ber of main categories and sub-categories that
contain settings and information for many of the
vehicle's features and functions.
There are seven main categories: My Car,
Sound, Navigation, Media, Communication,
Climate and System.
Each category, in turn, contains a number of sub-
categories and possible settings. The table below
shows the first level of sub-categories. The possi-
ble settings for a function or an area are descri-
bed in more detail in their respective sections of
the Owner's Manual.
Some settings are personal, which means that
they can be saved to a Driver Profiles. Others
are global, which means that they are not linked
to a driver profile.
