Signature Edition’s standard 16.3-cm (6.4-in.) touchscreen infotainment system delivers seven speakers, rear-facing camera, Bluetooth® wireless connectivity, AM/FM, and SiriusXM® satellite radio. The infotainment system is designed for use during operation and while parked.
The touchscreen infotainment system is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. CarPlay allows iPhone users to place hands-free phone calls, send messages, check the weather, and access Apple Music and Maps through the infotainment system touchscreen or with their voice through Siri. Android Auto enables Android smartphone users to place hands-free phone calls, send messages, check the weather, play music, and get driving directions. An operator can also control the apps on the infotainment system using Google Assistant voice controls.
When using CarPlay or Android Auto, the touchscreen and voice control user experiences are provided by the iPhone or Android smartphone app software. Screen layouts, icons, menu structures, and voice commands are designed to be familiar to the iPhone or Android smartphone user. To use CarPlay or Android Auto, the iPhone or Android smartphone must be connected using an USB cable. A Bluetooth® wireless connection provides basic smartphone functions using infotainment system’s software.
Background noise may limit the usability of voice controls while the vehicle is being operated. The iPhone or Android smartphone app software must also be compatible with CarPlay or Android Auto.
