Driving Restriction Policy by Region
For instructions on integrating CarUxRestrictions, see the Driving Restriction Development Guide.
Driving restriction policies may vary by platform version and production vehicle.
Driving Restriction Overview
Pleos Connect driving restrictions are applied based on vehicle hardware signals such as speed, gear, and brakes, as well as regional safety regulations.
App usage by driving situation
If the app does not declare Distraction Optimization (DO), whether the app may be used depends on the driving situation. The table below describes default behavior by situation.
| Situation | App use when DO is not declared |
|---|---|
| Parking | Allowed |
| Drive | Not allowed |
Regional feature availability
While driving restrictions apply, whether each feature may be used differs by driving situation (Parking, Driving) and region.
✅ means allowed, ⛔ means restricted, and Voice only means voice-only use.
