Introduction
With voice control, you can have
certain functions carried out by voice
command.
Does my vehicle have voice control?
If the
button is present on the multi-function steering wheel and the voice control is started after pressing it, or your
vehicle understands the activation command ⇒ Activation command and voice commands, voice control is installed in the
vehicle.
Voice control is active and recognizes spoken words.
Test voice control before a journey to get to know the function.
Features of voice control
Depending on your country and the language set as the system language in the Infotainment system, voice control will be
available both online and offline.
Voice commands ⇒ Activation command and voice commands can be freely formulated and informal, depending on the
system language. Voice commands depend on the system language and the vehicle equipment. For example, the statement
“I'm cold” leads to an increase in the vehicle's temperature.
Depending on the system language, voice commands evaluated online allow an optimized search, for a POI, for example.
Messages can also be dictated. For online mode, you will require a valid contract for using mobile online services for the
vehicle ⇒ ®.
In some languages, voice commands must be formulated according to a certain pattern in order to be successfully
recognized, e.g. “navigate to [city, street name, house number]”.
Further examples and suggestions for voice commands depend on the system language. These can be found in the
Infotainment system ⇒ Activation command and voice commands.
The number of languages available in your country depends on the country.
If the voice control is available online in your language, it is used when the voice control is activated.
Speech recognition for individual seating positions
Depending on the vehicle equipment and model, in some countries additional microphones enable voice control to recognize
whether the driver or passenger is speaking. For supported languages, you can open functions for individual seat positions,
for example switching on the seat heating.
