Volvo XC90: Displays and voice control / Voice control for cellular phones
(Certain markets only.)
Call a contact in the phone book, have a text message read aloud or dictate
short messages using voice commands to a Bluetoothconnected phone.
To access a contact in the phone book, the voice command must contain the contact
information entered in the phone book. If a contact, e.g. Robyn Smith, has
several phone numbers listed in the phone book, a number category such as home
or cellular can also be specified, i.e. "Call Robyn Smith cellular".
Tap and say one of the following
commands:
- "Call [contact]" - call the selected contact from the phone book.
- "Call [phone number]" - call a phone number.
- "Recent calls" - display the list of recent calls.
- "Read message" - read a text message aloud. If there are several
messages, select the message to read aloud.
- "Message to [contact]" – the user is prompted to dictate a short
message. The message will then be read aloud and the user can choose to send
or re-dictate the message. The vehicle must be connected to the Internet to
access this function.
NOTE
Not all system languages support voice control. If a language supports
voice control, it is marked with a
symbol in the list of available
system languages. Read more about where the information is found in the section
on voice control settings.

reactivated each time the engine is started...

an adverse effect on the vehicle's electronics.
