Set a screen lock on your profile for Google apps & services built into your car

To keep your profile and Google account private, you can set a screen lock in your car. 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.

You need a car 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 info, reference your owner’s manual.

1. On your car display, open your profile settings.
2. Tap Screen lock.
