Don’t be intimidated
If you think learning about a new piece of technology is a challenging and daunting task, it’s important to change your mindset before beginning the learning process. Have an open mind and understand that what may seem difficult at first could end up being an easy-to-use feature with lots of benefits.
Start small
After purchasing a new vehicle, it’s a good idea to first pair your phone to your car’s infotainment system. Setting up the Bluetooth connection and then playing music and calling your contacts are not only useful features to learn, but they’re also relatively easy if you’ve had experience using your smartphone. After successfully pairing your phone, you can have more confidence to take on other technologies.
Don’t rush
Some technologies may take some time to get the hang of. As such, don’t expect to learn everything in one short time period or you may become frustrated. If you do find yourself becoming upset when you can’t grasp a concept, take a break and consider watching a tutorial online.
Keep the owner’s manual nearby
While you may assume you can get by without the owner’s manual, sometimes it’s easier to break open the manual to see how certain things are done. The manual could end up saving you lots of time, making for an easier learning process.
