About About your vehicle’s virtual controls  

In some vehicles, the controls you’d usually see as a physical switch, button or knob can be accessed while you’re driving using the Controls app on your center display, or through the front command center, depending on your vehicle.

Using virtual controls

If you can’t find a button or knob to access a certain feature in your vehicle, it may be a virtual control. The Controls app is a quicker way to turn certain features on or off while you’re driving, without having to go through the Settings menu.


Tap the Controls app icon on your infotainment screen to see your vehicle’s virtual control options. You may have to swipe to the second page of the home screen to find it. When the app opens, you’ll see some quick-access icons. The next screen will show tiles for different categories of controls.

Depending on your vehicle, some of the virtual controls found in the app may include:

  • Glove box release: Quick access button on the home page of this app or accessed through the Doors & Windows tile.
  • Locks: Quick-access button for Power Window Lockout on the home page of this app. Change other lock and liftgate settings, including child safety locks, through the Doors & Windows tile.
  • Dome light: Quick-access button on the home page of this app. If the dome light is on, an icon will be added to the App Tray. If you select the icon, you can easily toggle the light on and off.
  • Universal remotes: Program up to eight universal remotes/garage door controls through the Universal Remote tile.
  • One-Pedal Driving: Enable and adjust the sensitivity of One-Pedal Driving, which lets you slow or stop the vehicle using only the accelerator pedal under normal conditions, through the Drive & Park tile.
  • Traction Control: Turn Traction Control and StabiliTrak on or off through the Drive & Park tile.

For your security, please don’t include personal info such as phone number, address or credit card details.


Q&As

Why did my vehicle automatically show me a virtual control pop-up on my screen?

Sometimes, your vehicle may automatically suggest controls that may be useful in the moment. These may appear as a pop-up suggestion on your infotainment screen. For example, if you leave your dome lights on, an icon may display after a few minutes, making it easy for you to quickly turn them off, if you want to.
