Car mode on the HTC One M9 is a way to make your phone easier and safer to use when you’re on the road. Please be aware of your state’s laws regarding the use of your phone in the car, always use a handsfree device for phone calls, and never let any device come between you and your safety. Check out how to use Car Mode on your HTC One M9:
As the name implies, Car Mode is a mode that your phone is placed into, and makes your HTC One M9 behave differently than normal.
To launch Car Mode, open the app titled Car.

In addition to a nice big clock with weather and a now playing widget, you get shortcuts to the functions you’re most likely to use in the car: navigation, dialer, music, voice recognition, and more. You can add shortcuts to other apps by scrolling down and tapping the plus icon, and icons can be rearranged and removed by tapping and holding then dragging the icon.
Each function is laid out with large, easy to locate buttons, and in car mode certain functionality (like access to the notification drawer) is limited or disabled for safety.
