DISPLAYS AND VOICE CONTROL
}}
* Option/accessory. 145
Voice control is done in dialogue form with the
user saying commands and receiving verbal
responses from the system. The voice recognition
system uses the same microphone as Bluetooth-
connected devices, and the voice recognition
system's responses are given via the car's speak-
ers. In some cases, a text message is also shown
in the driver display. Functions are controlled
from the right-hand steering wheel keypad. Set-
tings are made via the centre display.
System updating
The voice recognition system is continuously
improved. Download updates for optimal perform-
ance from support.volvocars.com.

Using voice recognition
17
Depress the steering wheel
button for voice recognition
to activate the system and
initiate a dialogue using voice
commands.
Remember the following:
•
Speak after the tone with a normal voice at a
normal tempo.
•
Do not speak while the system is replying
(the system cannot understand commands
during this time).
•
Avoid background noise in the passenger
compartment by having the doors, windows
and panoramic roof
*
closed.
Voice recognition can be deactivated as follows:
•
briefly press and say " Cancel ".
•
a long press on the steering wheel button for
voice control
until you hear two beeps.
To speed up communication and skip the
prompts from the system, press the steering
wheel button for voice recognition
when the
system voice is speaking and say the next com-
mand.
To change the system audio volume, turn the
rotary volume knob when the voice speaks. It is
possible to use other buttons during voice con-
trol. However, other sounds will be silenced dur-
ing dialogue with the system, which means that it
is not possible to execute any functions linked
with audio using the buttons.
Example of voice recognition control
Press , say " Call [Forename] [Surname]
[number category]

from the phone book. If the contact has several
phone numbers (e.g. home, mobile, work), the
right category must be referred to.
