247 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 239 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 239) 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

Introduction
The RSE system1 provides entertainment for
the rear seat passengers by making it possible
to e.g., watch a film, play music, listen to the
radio or connect an external device such as a
game console.
RSE is fully integrated into the vehicle's info-
tainment system and can be used at the same
time as other infotainment features.
For example, if a rear seat passenger is using
A/V-AUX and headphones, the driver and front
seat passenger can still use the vehicle's radioor media player. However, only one disc can be
played in the media player at a time. You can
listen to music from e.g., an iPodŸ or from
streaming audio files using the BluetoothŸ
function.
The RSE system can be controlled from the
front screen (parental control).
Different media can be played or viewed from
different sources on the various screens (front
center console and/or the respective screens
in the rear seat). It is also possible to play or
view media from the same source on one or

more of the screens. However, it is not possible
to play a film from USB while a CD or DVD is
being played.
CAUTION
When transporting large objects in the rear
seat, be sure that there is adequate space
between the object(s) and the RSE screens
to help avoid scratching or damaging these
screens.
If necessary, cover the screens with a suit-
able material.
NOTE
•The RSE screens and remote control
may not function in very low or very high
cabin temperatures. They will become
operable again after the climate control
system has created a comfortable tem-
perature in the cabin.
•Keep the IR transceivers' lenses clean
by wiping them regularly with a damp
cloth. A dirty lens could affect the func-
tion of the remote control.
Ignition modes and electrical current to
RSE
RSE can be activated with the ignition in
modes I or II (and when the engine is running).See page 82 for detailed information about the
various ignition modes. If a film is being played,
it will stop momentarily while the engine is
being started and will resume when the engine
is running.
NOTE
Using RSE for more than approx.
10 minutes when the engine is not running
will drain the vehicle's battery and may
make the engine difficult or impossible to
start.
A message will be displayed on the screen
if the battery's charge level becomes too
low.
