can go from one channel with poor or no recep-
tion to the same channel in another channel
group with better reception. There may be a
certain delay when changing channel group.
There may be a period of silence between the
current channel no longer being available to the
new channel becoming available.

been selected. It is not certain that all channel
groups will be found. Wavelength selection

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.271 General
The infotainment system's voice recognition1
allows the driver to voice-activate certain func-
tions in a Bluetooth Ÿ-connected mobile phone
or in Volvo's navigation system - RTI (Road and
Traffic Information System).
NOTE
•The information in this section
describes the use of voice commands
to control a mobile phone connected
using Bluetooth
Ÿ. For detailed infor-
mation on using a mobile phone con-
nected using Bluetooth
Ÿ with the car's
Infotainment system see page 262.
•The Volvo navigation system RTI (Road
and Traffic Information System) has a
separate user manual which contains
more information on voice control and
voice commands to control that sys-
tem.
Voice commands offer convenience and help
the driver to avoid being distracted, and
instead concentrate on driving and focus
attention on the road and traffic conditions.
WARNING
The driver always holds overall responsibil-
ity for driving the vehicle in a safe manner
and complying with all applicable rules of
the road.
The voice recognition system allows the driver
to voice-activate certain functions of a
Bluetooth
Ÿ-connected mobile phone and in
Volvo's navigation system - RTI (Road and
Traffic Information System), while the driver
can keep his/her hands on the wheel at the
same time. The input data are in dialogue form
with spoken commands from the user and ver-
bal replies from the system. The voice recog-
nition system uses the same microphone as
the Bluetooth
Ÿ handsfree system (see illustra-
tion on page 262) and the voice recognition
system's replies come via the car's speakers.
Language
Language list.
Voice recognition is not possible for all lan-
guages. Languages available for voice recog-
nition are marked with an icon in the language
list -
. Changing the language is performed
in the menu system MY CAR, see page 204.
