Information on the online services
The online services enable improved recognition
and provide better and additional results based
on the external information, e.g. about weather or
news. For this reason, we recommend you acti‐
vate the online services.
To do this, you need a user account on the
Mercedes PRO portal. If you do not yet have a
user account, this must be created.

Basic voice commands

Notes on the voice commands
Aside from the exact voice commands (see the
"Voice command" column in the following tables)
to call up specific functions, in most cases LIN‐
GUATRONIC also understands a great many para‐
phrases from daily usage. Examples of these are
listed in the "Colloquial examples" column. For
some languages however these examples are
only available to a limited extent.
Overview of switch voice commands
Switch voice commands can be used to open cer‐
tain applications.
