Changing vehicle status, such as vehicle speed, doors, and lights
Reproducing driving and vehicle event scenarios
Checking real-time vehicle status reflected in the app screen
Verifying that vehicle control commands operate as expected
Running repeated tests and demonstration scenarios

Emulation Controls

In Emulation Controls, you can find vehicle functions by domain, set their states, and check responses in Pleos Connect Emulator and your app. Select a domain from the list on the left, then change values on the target function cards.

Domain	Description
Vehicle	Simulates whether vehicle notifications are shown or hidden. You can check how Pleos Connect Emulator and your app respond to notification states.
Motion	Sets gear, brake, steering wheel angle, and driving distance. You can also simulate steering wheel heating levels.
ADAS	Sets the ready and active states of cruise control and the target speed. You can check whether the selected driving-assistance state is reflected in the app.
Convenience	Simulates the states and actions of convenience features such as doors, windows, trunk, seats, lights, and wipers. You can also control ETCS scenarios and the glove box.
Safety	Sets vehicle warning lights such as the parking brake, seat belt, and ABS to off, on, or blinking. You can check how warning states are displayed.
Energy	Sets remaining range, battery capacity, and charge state. You can also simulate charging current, target charge amount, and charge port state.
Climate	Sets HVAC power, temperature, fan speed, airflow direction, recirculation, and defroster states. You can also control seat heating, seat ventilation, and the air cleaner.

For the full list of cards and configurable ranges in Emulation Controls, see the Pleos Connect Virtual Console User Guide.

Theme and Viewpoint Switching

You can change the design of the driving visualization area at the top of the screen through the Theme menu. Theme changes do not affect vehicle testing functions.

When gear is in P, use the Theme button at the top-left to switch to either the Highway theme or the Forest theme.
In the Highway theme, use the First person or Third person button at the top-right to select a first-person or third-person viewpoint.
