Voice control
Voice commands make it possible for the driver
to voice-control certain functions in the media
player, a Bluetooth-connected cell phone, cli-
mate system and the Volvo navigation system
*
.
Voice control offers convenience and enables the
driver to keep his/her hands on the steering
wheel and concentrate on driving and the traffic
situation around the vehicle.
WARNING
As the driver, you have full responsibility for
operating the vehicle safely and adhering to
all applicable traffic regulations.
Input to the system is in dialog form and compri-
ses commands from the driver and a verbal
response from the system.
The voice control system uses the same micro-
phone as the Bluetooth hands-free system and
system responses come via the infotainment sys-
tem's speakers.
In certain cases, text messages are also provided
in the instrument panel.
The functions are controlled using the right-side
steering wheel keypad and settings are made
from the center console.
System updates
The voice control system is being constantly
improved and updates should be downloaded for
optimal functionality. See the support site
support.volvocars.com.
