To keep your profile and Google account private, you can set a screen lock in your car. With a screen lock activated, each time you want to access your profile, you must enter the personal identification number (PIN) or pattern you set.
You can drive your car when a screen lock is set and the screen is locked, but you can't access your profile or Google Account information until you enter your PIN or pattern.
Note: This information is for cars with Google apps and services built in. Learn which cars are compatible.
Important: Settings and functionality may vary by car manufacturer, region, and data plan. For more information, check your owner’s manual.
