dialogue between the user and the Infotainment sys-

tem.

The user says a voice command. The Infotainment

system responds or executes the voice command.

Keypad example

Advanced voice control

The vehicle's advanced voice control enables the ve-

hicle functions to be searched and operated online.

Cybernetic security

Your vehicle contains components that are used to

exchange information and data between the vehicle

and the connected mobile devices or the Internet.

The device enables a SmartLinkconnection to be

made via Android Auto

The device enables a SmartLinkconnection to be

made via Apple CarPlay

The device enables a SmartLinkconnection to be
