100The accuracy of this figure may vary if your driv- ing style changes. An economical driving style willgenerally increase this distance.
Distance to discharged batteryThis gauge shows the approximate dis-tance that can be driven on the chargeremaining in the hybrid battery.
When the gauge displays "----" there is no guar- anteed driving charge remaining in the battery. This calculation is based on the average electrical current consumption in a normally loaded vehicleduring normal driving, and whether the A/C is on or off. Changing drive modes from
Hybrid toPure may increase the calculated distance to a
discharged battery since Pure mode reduces
certain climate system functions. An economical driving style will generally increase this distance.
Distance using the electric motor
To get the optimal driving distance using the electric motor, it is essential to conserve current.Functions that use a great deal of current (e.g.,audio system, electrical heating in the steeringwheel/door mirrors/rear window/seats, very coldair from the climate system, etc.) reduce the pos-sible driving distance.
NOTE
In addition to high electrical consumption in the passenger compartment, fast accelera-tion, sudden braking, heavy loads, low ambienttemperatures and driving up hills can reducethe possible driving distance.
Tourist (alternative speedometer)This is an alternative digital speedometer can be used when driving in areas in which the speedlimit is listed in a different unit of measure. If the speedometer is in mph, this gauge will show the
vehicle's speed in km/h and vice versa.

Voice control
Voice commands make it possible for the driver to voice-control certain functions in the mediaplayer, a Bluetooth-connected cell phone, cli- mate system and the Volvo navigation system *.
Voice control offers convenience and enables the driver to keep his/her hands on the steeringwheel and concentrate on driving and the trafficsituation around the vehicle.
WARNING
As the driver, you have full responsibility for operating the vehicle safely and adhering toall applicable traffic regulations.
Input to the system is in dialog form and compri- ses commands from the driver and a verbalresponse from the system. The voice control system uses the same micro- phone as the Bluetooth hands-free system and system responses come via the infotainment sys-tem's speakers. In certain cases, text messages are also provided in the instrument panel. The functions are controlled using the right-side steering wheel keypad and settings are madefrom the center console.
System updates
The voice control system is being constantly improved and updates should be downloaded foroptimal functionality. See the support sitesupport.volvocars.com.

provide several alternative commands that can be used in a given situation.
The commands for specific situations are descri-bed in the respective articles such as "Cell phonecommands", etc.
Numbers
Numbers can be spoken in different ways depending on the context and function beingused:
• Phone numbers and zip codes
should be
spoken individually, number by number, e.g.,five five five one two three four (5551234).
• Addresses (house numbers)
can be spo-
ken individually or as a group, e.g., two two ortwenty-two (22). It is also possible to say a sequence of numbers, e.g., twenty-twotwenty-two (22 22) and "double" or "triple"can also be used, e.g., double zero (00) or tri-ple zero (000). Numbers in the range0-2300 can be used.
• Frequencies
can be spoken ninety-eight
point eight (98.8), one hundred four pointtwo (104.2) or hundred four point two(104.2).

Voice control for cell phones Voice commands can be used to control many of the most common functions in a Bluetooth ®
-
connected cell phone.
To specify a phone book contact, the voice com- mand has to include the contact's informationthat is in the phone book. For example, if a con- tact such as
John Smith has several phone
numbers, a number category such as home ormobile can be specified. To call, say: "Call John
Smith mobile".
To use the voice control system, press the
on the right-side steering wheel keypad and say one of the following commands after the tone:
• "
