Tabs help drivers quickly switch between views in your app.

You can use them to place common tasks a few taps away, minimizing distraction
so drivers can focus on the road. Implement tabs using the [Tab template](https://developer.android.com/design/ui/cars/guides/templates/tab-template).
| **Note:** Remember to [keep task flows short](https://developer.android.com/design/ui/cars/guides/ux-requirements/plan-task-flows), sticking to 5 steps or fewer.

## Sample flow

| User action | Where action is performed | Step count after action |
|---|---|---|
| The user taps the **Home devices** tab. | Tab template with embedded List template ![Tab template with embedded List template with 4 items and 4 tabs at the top](https://developer.android.com/static/images/design/ui/cars/components/tabs_1.png) | 1 |
| The user taps the desk light icon to turn off the desk light. | Tab template with embedded Grid template ![Tab template with 4 tabs and embedded grid of items](https://developer.android.com/static/images/design/ui/cars/components/tabs_2.png) | 1 |
| A toast appears to confirm that the desk light was turned off. | Tab template with embedded Grid template ![Tab template with embedded Grid template with 4 tabs and confirmation toast](https://developer.android.com/static/images/design/ui/cars/components/tabs_3.png) | **Note:** Because the content of the navigation template does not change, this is considered a refresh and does not add to the step count. | 1 |
