Voice control
Voice commands make it possible for the driverto 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 thedriver 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 foroperating 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 andsystem responses come via the infotainment sys-tem's speakers.
In certain cases, text messages are also providedin the instrument panel.
The functions are controlled using the right-sidesteering wheel keypad and settings are madefrom the center console.
System updates
The voice control system is being constantlyimproved and updates should be downloaded foroptimal functionality. See the support sitesupport.volvocars.com.

Calibrating the compass
North America is divided into 15 magnetic zonesand the compass will need to be calibrated if thevehicle is driven from one zone to another.
To calibrate the compass:
1.Stop the vehicle in a large open area, safelyout of traffic and away from steel structuresand high-tension electrical wires.
2. Start the vehicle.

NOTE
•For best calibration results, switch off allelectrical equipment in the vehicle (climatesystem, windshield wipers, audio system,etc.) and make sure that all doors areclosed.
•Calibration may not succeed or be incor-rect if the vehicle's electrical equipment isnot switched off.
3. Using a pen, paperclip or similar object, pressand hold the button on the underside of mir-ror for approx. 3 seconds until the number ofthe current magnetic zone is displayed.

Perceived temperature
The climate system regulates passenger com-partment temperature based on the perceivedtemperature, not on the actual one.
The selected passenger compartment tempera-ture is based on a physical perception relating tothe current ambient temperature, air flow, humid-ity, sunlight in the passenger compartment, etc.
The system's sunlight sensor monitors the side ofthe car where sunlight is entering the passengercompartment. This means that the actual tem-perature may differ between the right and leftsides of the compartment, even if the tempera-ture setting is the same for both sides.
