Using voice control
Google Assistant makes it possible to use your
voice to control different functions in the car or,
for example, to ask for information such as a
weather forecast.
Launching Google Assistant
Google Assistant can be started in three differ-
ent ways as follows
• say the voice command " OK Google " or " Hey
Google "
11
• press briefly on the steering wheel button for
voice control
• tap on the microphone in the centre display
.
The system shows that it is active and listening
by means of a brief audible signal
12
and a
graphic confirmation in the centre display.
Examples of voice control
After the system has started it is possible to
make different requests by speaking freely. Sev-
eral examples of how to use voice control are
given below.
• " Navigate home " – Show directions to the
address stored in Maps as home address for
the Google account used to log in.
• " Read my messages " – Read out text mes-
sages sent to the phone.
• " Raise the temperature " – Raises the tem-
perature in the passenger compartment.
• " Play music " – Plays back music in selected
media app.
Logging in with a Google account means that
the assistant will be more personalised when
the car is online. For example, it is possible to
call contacts stored in contacts.google.com or
enquire about what is entered in Google Calen-
dar.
