How to use it

Step by step.

  1. 01

    While parked, compare an on-screen item's location with the same relative location on the main touchpad.

  2. 02

    Touch that point on the pad to select the corresponding display item.

  3. 03

    Use the dual-zone secondary area only for content assigned to that display zone.

  4. 04

    Rearrange customizable app tiles while parked so frequently used controls occupy predictable positions.

Important limits

  • Absolute-position mapping differs from a laptop trackpad's cursor behavior.
  • Practice and customize only while safely parked.
  • Keep attention on the road and use steering-wheel or voice controls when appropriate.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓Touch the screen-corresponding location rather than swiping for a pointer.
  • ✓Check whether the desired item is in the main or secondary display zone.
  • ✓Return app tiles to a familiar layout if their positions make selection difficult.
