¿Cómo desactivo Android Auto?

*Requires phone with active data service and compatible software. SYNC 4 no controla los productos de terceros cuando están en uso. Los proveedores externos son los únicos responsables por su respectiva funcionalidad.

**Don’t drive while distracted. Usa sistemas operados por voz cuando sea posible; no uses dispositivos portátiles mientras conduces. Es posible que algunas características estén desactivadas cuando el vehículo está en marcha. No todas las características son compatibles con todos los teléfonos.

***Android, Android Auto, and Google are trademarks of Google LLC.

****The Bluetooth word mark is a trademark of the Bluetooth SIG, Inc.

*****Samsung, Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, and Note 9 are trademarks of Samsung.

******The vehicle's electrical system (including the battery), the wireless service provider's signal, and a connected mobile phone must all be available and operating for 911 Assist to function properly.  Estos sistemas pueden dañarse en una colisión. El teléfono móvil vinculado debe estar conectado a SYNC y la característica 911 Assist debe estar habilitada para poder marcar 911. Cuando la característica está ACTIVADA, 911 Assist utiliza tu teléfono compatible conectado para que los ocupantes puedan contactarse con servicios de emergencia marcando 911 si la bolsa de aire se despliega o, en algunos vehículos, si se activa el cierre de emergencia de la bomba de combustible.
Los dispositivos de diagnóstico no originales en el vehículo pueden interferir con varios sistemas del vehículo, incluyendo el Informe del Funcionamiento del Vehículo y 911 Assist. Para evitar la interferencia, quita el dispositivo o contacta con el fabricante del dispositivo para obtener más información sobre la compatibilidad.
