DISPLAYS AND VOICE CONTROL
|| 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.
