Voice control of the vehicle's climate

Voice control enables you to control functions in the vehicle, such as regulating the climate in the passenger compartment. Using voice control of the climate control system, you can e.g. change temperature, activate seat heating or change the blower speed.

Adjust the climate

To start voice control of the climate control system, use the command "Climate". A dialog then starts and examples of commands are shown.

 Note

Not all system languages support voice control. If a system language supports voice control, it is marked with a P5–1507–Voice control button symbol in the list of available system languages. For more info on which system languages are supported, see Language settings for voice control.
