Voice control of the car's climate

Voice control allows you to control functions in the car, for example, the climate control in the passenger compartment. Using voice control to control the climate control system means that you can change temperature, activate seat heating or change the fan speed for example.

Adjust the climate

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

 Note

Not all system languages support voice control. The system languages that do are highlighted with the P5–1507–Voice control button symbol in the list of available system languages. More information on which system languages are supported can be found at Voice control language settings.
