Go to Sound (or “Sound & Vibration”) > Do Not Disturb.

Select Sound > Do Not Disturb

Toward the bottom, tap “Schedules.”

Choose "Schedules"

You’ll see a few pre-made schedules on this page. If you’ve previously set up “Bedtime Mode” on your phone, you’ll see that enabled as one of the schedules.

The one that we’re interested in is “Driving.” Check the box for “Driving.”

There are a few options on this page. If you always connect to the same Bluetooth device while driving, such as your vehicle’s infotainment system, you can select that. Toggle the switch for “When Connected to Bluetooth” and choose a device from the list.

The other option is “When driving is detected.” This will use the motion of your phone to detect when you’re driving.

Lastly, you can toggle on “Turn on Bluetooth automatically” to have your phone turn on Bluetooth when driving is detected. This will ensure that your Bluetooth devices connect when driving.
