cally brings you useful information, and orga-
nizes it into simple cards that appear just

used with Google's best-in-class speech tech-
nology, the steering wheel controls, the knobs
and buttons on your radio faceplate, and the

of your apps. To use Android Auto follow the
following procedure:
1. Download the Android Auto app from theGoogle Play store on your Android-
powered smartphone. 2. Connect your Android powered smart-
phone to one of the media USB ports in
your vehicle. If the Android Auto app was

your device in, the app will begin to
download.

the app to the menu bar at the bottom of
the touchscreen. Press the “Apps” button
