The information in this section
describes the use of voice commands

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 of a
Bluetooth
®
-connected mobile phone and in
Volvo's navigation system, while the driver
can keep his/her hands on the wheel at the
same time. The input data are in dialogue
form with spoken commands from the user
and verbal replies from the system. The voice
recognition system uses the same micro-
phone as the Bluetooth
®
handsfree system
(see Bluetooth
®
* handsfree phone - overview
(p. 403)) and the voice recognition system's
replies come via the car's speakers.
