Many of the vehicle's settings can be custom-
ized to the driver's personal preferences and
saved in one or more driver profiles. These personal settings are automatically saved
in the active driver profile. Each key can be linked
to one driver profile. When the linked key is used,
the vehicle is customized to the specific settings
of that driver profile.
Which settings are saved in driver
profiles?
The vehicle has settings that can be made either
personal or global. The personal settings are
saved in driver profiles.
Settings that can be saved in a driver profile
include, among other things, screens, mirrors,
front seats, navigation*, audio and media system,

Some settings are global settings. These settings
can be changed but are not saved to a specific
driver profile. Changes to global settings affect all

The driver can use voice commands to control
certain functions in the media player, a
Bluetooth-connected phone, the climate system
and the Volvo navigation system*.
Voice commands offer extra convenience and
help minimize distractions so drivers can concen-
trate on driving and keep their attention on the
road and traffic situation.
WARNING The driver is always responsible for ensuring
that the vehicle is operated in a safe manner
and that all applicable traffic regulations are
followed.

146 Voice control is carried out as a dialog, with spo-
ken commands from the user and verbal respon-
ses from the system. The voice control system
uses the same microphone as devices connected
with Bluetooth, and the voice control system
responds through the vehicle's loudspeakers. In
certain cases, text messages will also be dis-
played in the instrument panel. The functions are
controlled using the right-side steering wheel
keypad and settings are made in the center dis-
play.
System updates
The voice control system is continuously
improved. For optimal functionality, always down-
load the latest update at support.volvocars.com.
