Advanced voice control
The advanced voice control of the vehicle enables an
online search and operation of the vehicle functions.
The advanced voice control understands fluently
spoken, complete sentences. You do not need to use
set commands or phrases.
The advanced voice control can, for example, search
for special destinations or dictate SMS messages if
the connected telephone makes this possible.
This function allows you to combine the search in
the online and offline data of the Infotainment. The
transition between online and offline search is seam-
less and imperceptible to the user.
