Voice control

Introduction to voice con-
trol
Voice control allows you to perform cer-
tain functions by spoken commands.
Types of voice control
Depending on the language set in the Info-
tainment system, one of the following voice
control types is available in the vehicle:
— Command-based voice control (standard).
— Advanced voice control (offline or online).
Seat-based voice control
Voice control uses additional microphones to
detect whether the driver or passenger is
speaking. This enables you to access seat-re-
lated functions, e.g. switching on the seat
heating.
Does my vehicle have voice control?
Voice control is installed in the vehicle if the
button is present on the multifunction
steering wheel or if your vehicle understands
the activation word. Observe the relevant na-
tional languages of the activation words.
Test voice control before starting
a journey in order to familiarise your-
self with the function.

Differences in voice control
systems
Command-based voice control (standard)
Here, voice commands must follow a defined
syntax in order to be recognised correctly,
e.g.: "Navigate to [Town, Street name, House
number]". You will find further examples in
the Infotainment system. Command-based
voice control can be performed in every avail-
able standard language.
Advanced voice control (offline or online)
Advanced voice control permits natural lan-
guage interaction with the system. For exam-
ple, the statement "I'm cold" will lead to the
set temperature in the vehicle being in-
creased. Voice commands can be freely for-
mulated and colloquial. You can find sugges-
ted voice commands in the Infotainment sys-
tem.
Advanced voice control works online and off-
line. In online mode, more functions and data
are available to permit improved recognition
of voice commands. For online mode, you
need a valid We Connect Plus or We Connect
Start contract for the vehicle.
If advanced voice control is also available in
a language in addition to command-based
control, the advanced voice control function
will always be used when voice control is ac-
tivated.
Supported languages
The number of languages available in your
country depends on the vehicle equipment
and model.
