Voice Control - Volvo VNS Quick Manual

02 Getting to know your navigation system

Voice control

Introduction
The navigation system's voice control feature
02
enables you to voice-activate certain system
functions.
Voice commands offer convenience and help
avoid distractions so that you can concen-
trate on driving and focus your attention on
road and traffic conditions.
Additional information about using voice
commands can also be found in your
Owner's Manual, in the Infotainment chap-
ter's "Cell phone voice control" section.
WARNING
As the driver, you have full responsibility
for operating the vehicle safely and adher-
ing to all applicable traffic regulations.
The voice control feature uses the same
microphone as the Bluetooth
system and system prompts are provided
through the infotainment system's front
speakers.
Since the microphone is positioned directly in
front of the driver, voice commands given by
other occupants of the vehicle may not be
understood.
