VOICE RECOGNITION
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 14
Voice recognition
The voice recognition system allows the driver to
use voice recognition to control certain functions
of the media player, Bluetooth-connected phone,
the climate system and Volvo's navigation sys-
tem
*
.
Voice commands offer convenience and help the
driver to avoid being distracted, and instead con-
centrate on driving and focus attention on the
road and the traffic conditions.
WARNING
The driver always holds overall responsibility
for driving the vehicle in a safe manner and
complying with all applicable rules of the road.
Voice recognition control takes place in dialogue
form with spoken commands from the user and
verbal response from the system. The voice rec-
ognition system uses the same microphone as
the Bluetooth handsfree system and the voice
recognition system's replies come via the car's
speakers. In some cases, a text message is also
shown in the driver display. Functions are con-
trolled from the right-hand steering wheel key-
pad. Settings are made via the centre display.
System updating
The voice recognition system is continuously
improved. Download updates for optimal perform-
ance, see support.volvocars.com.
