Introduction
The infotainment system's voice control fea-
ture1 enables the driver to voice-activate cer-
tain functions in a BluetoothŸ-connected cell
phone or the navigation system.
NOTE
•The information in this section applies
to using voice commands to operate a
Bluetooth
Ÿ-connected cell phone.
See also the section "BluetoothŸ
hands-free connection" beginning on
page 240 for detailed information about
using a cell phone with the vehicle's
infotainment system.
•The navigation system has a separate
user's guide containing information
about voice commands for operating
that system.
Voice commands offer convenience and help
avoid distractions so that you can concentrate
on driving and focus your attention on road and
traffic conditions.
WARNING
As the driver, you have full responsibility for
operating the vehicle safely and adhering to
all applicable traffic regulations.
The voice control feature provides access to a
number of functions in the BluetoothŸ hands-
free and navigation systems while allowing you
to keep your hands on the steering wheel. Input
is in dialogue form using spoken commands
from the user and verbal prompts from the sys-
tem. Voice control uses the same microphone
as the Bluetooth
Ÿ hands-free system (see the
illustration on page 240) and system prompts
are provided through the infotainment sys-
tem's front speakers.
Languages
List of languages.
Voice control is not available for all languages.
The available languages are indicated by the
icon. The language can be changed in the
MY CAR menu system under MY CAR
SettingsSystem optionsLanguage.

Voice control button (1) on the steering wheel.
Activating the systemBefore any phone voice commands can be
used, a BluetoothŸ-enabled cell phone must
be paired with the infotainment system. If a
phone command is given, the system will
inform you If there is no cell phone paired. See
page 241 for information on pairing a cell
phone.
Press the voice control button (1 in the illustra-
tion) to activate the system and initiate a com-
mand dialogue. The system will display com-
monly used commands on the screen when the
button has been pressed.
While using the voice control system, keep the
following points in mind:
•When giving commands, speak at your
usual speed and in a normal tone of voice
after the tone
•The vehicle's doors, windows and moon-
roof should be closed when using the voice
control system
•Avoid background noises in the cabin
when using the system
NOTE
If you are uncertain of the commands that
you can use, saying "help" will prompt the
system to provide a number of commands
that can be used in a specific situation.
Voice control commands can be cancelled
by:
•Saying "cancel"
•Not speaking
•Pressing and holding the voice control
button
•Pressing EXIT or one of the mode but-
tons (RADIO, MEDIA, etc.).

Using voice commands
The driver initiates a voice command dialogue
by pressing the voice control button (see the
illustration on page 249).
When a dialogue has been initiated, commonly
used commands will be shown in the display.
Grayed-out texts or texts in parentheses are
not part of the spoken command.
Once you become familiar with the system, you
can speed up the command dialogue by briefly
pressing the voice control button to skip
prompts from the system.
Commands can be given in several ways.
For example, the command "Phone call con-
tact" can be spoken as:
•"Phone > Call contact"—say "Phone," wait
for a system response, and then continue
by saying "Call contact."
•"Phone call contact"—give the entire com-
mand at one timeThe following is a list of features that can be
voice-controlled with a Bluetooth

Dialing a numberThe system understands the digits zero to nine.
These numbers can be spoken individually, in
groups of several digits at a time, or the entire
number can be given at once. Numbers above
nine will not be recognized.
The following is an example of a voice com-
mand dialogue. The system's response may
vary depending on the situation.
The user initiates the dialogue by saying:Phone > dial number
or
Phone dial number

you say several digits and pause, the system
will repeat them and prompt you by saying
"Continue."
Continue saying the digits. When you have fin-
ished, complete the command by saying
"Dial."
•You can also change the number by using
the commands "Correction" (which dele-
tes the last group of digits spoken) or
"Delete" (which will erase the entire phone
number).

be displayed at one time, saying "Down"
will enable you to scroll downward in the
list (and saying "up" will take you back up
through the list).

General information
Economical driving conserves natural
resources
Better driving economy may be obtained by
thinking ahead, avoiding rapid starts and stops
and adjusting the speed of your vehicle to
immediate traffic conditions.
Observe the following rules:
•Bring the engine to normal operating tem-
perature as soon as possible by driving
with a light foot on the accelerator pedal for
the first few minutes of operation. A cold
engine uses more fuel and is subject to
increased wear.
•Whenever possible, avoid using the vehicle
for driving short distances. This does not
allow the engine to reach normal operating
temperature.
•Drive carefully and avoid rapid acceleration
and hard braking.
•Use the transmission's Drive (D) position
as often as possible and avoid using kick-
down.
•Using the transmission's Sport mode1 may
increase fuel consumption somewhat. Use
the transmission's Drive (D) position as
often as possible. See page 119 for addi-
tional information about Sport mode.
•Do not exceed posted speed limits.
•Avoid carrying unnecessary items (extra
load) in the vehicle.
•Maintain correct tire pressure. Check tire
pressure regularly (when tires are cold).
•Remove snow tires when threat of snow or
ice has ended.
•Note that roof racks, ski racks, etc,
increase air resistance and also fuel con-
sumption.
•At highway driving speeds, fuel consump-
tion will be lower with the air conditioning
on and the windows closed than with the
air conditioning off and the windows open.
•Using the onboard trip computer's fuel
consumption modes can help you learn
how to drive more economically.
Other factors that decrease gas mileage
are:
•Dirty air cleaner
•Dirty engine oil and clogged oil filter
•Dragging brakes
•Incorrect front end alignment
Some of the above mentioned items and others
are checked at the standard maintenance
intervals.
WARNING
Driving with the trunk open: Driving with
the trunk open could lead to poisonous
exhaust gases entering the passenger com-
partment. If the trunk must be kept open for
any reason, proceed as follows:
•Close the windows
•Set the ventilation system control to air
flow to floor, windshield and side win-
dows and the blower control to its high-
est setting.
Weight distribution affects handlingAt the specified curb weight your vehicle has a
tendency to understeer, which means that the
steering wheel has to be turned more than
might seem appropriate for the curvature of a
bend. This ensures good stability and reduces
the risk of rear wheel skid. Remember that
these properties can alter with the vehicle load.
The heavier the load in the trunk, the less the
tendency to understeer.
Handling, roadholdingVehicle load, tire design and inflation pressure
all affect vehicle handling. Therefore, check
that the tires are inflated to the recommended
pressure according to the vehicle load. See the
"Tire pressure" section. Loads should be dis-
1Certain models only.
