Voice control

Introduction to the topic
Voice control works online and offline.
Voice commands are recorded more accurately in
online mode because more data are available.
200 Infotainment
Voice control understands questions and statements
without the need to learn voice commands. The
voice commands can be freely formulated and collo-
quial. You can find suggested voice commands in the
Infotainment system.
The functions are reduce in offline mode.
Loud interior and exterior noises can cause malfunc-
tions and misleading sentences and answers.
Voice control recognises only voice commands
in the language set in the Infotainment sys-
tem.
Test voice control while the vehicle is station-
ary before starting a journey in order to famili-
arise yourself with the function.
Seat-based voice control
Voice control uses additional microphones to detect
whether the driver or passenger is speaking. This en-
ables you to access seat-related functions in the
supported online languages, e.g. switching on the
seat heating.
