Voice recognition
Voice recognition allows the driver to voice-
activate certain functions in the multimedia
system, in the radio, in a Bluetooth
®
-con-
nected mobile phone or in Volvo's navigation
system*.
NOTE
•
The information for voice recognition
control of the mobile phone in this
section describes the use of voice
commands to control a Bluetooth
®
-
connected mobile phone. For
detailed information on using a
Bluetooth
®
-connected mobile phone,
see Bluetooth
®
handsfree phone
(p. 57).
•
The Volvo navigation system* has a
separate supplement which contains
more information on voice recognition
and voice commands to control the
system.
Voice commands offer convenience and help
the driver to avoid being distracted, and
instead concentrate on driving and focus
attention on the road and traffic conditions.
WARNING
The driver always holds overall responsibil-
ity for driving the vehicle in a safe manner
and complying with all applicable rules of
the road.
The voice recognition system allows the
driver to voice-activate certain functions in
the multimedia system, in the radio, in a
Bluetooth
®
-connected mobile phone or in
Volvo's navigation system*, while the driver
can keep his/her hands on the steering wheel
at the same time. The input data are in dia-
logue form with spoken commands from the
user and verbal replies from the system. The
voice recognition system uses the same
microphone as the Bluetooth
®
handsfree sys-
tem, see Bluetooth
®
handsfree phone - over-
view (p. 58), and the voice recognition sys-
tem's replies come via the car's speakers.
