Use voice control

With the Google Assistant, you can control various functions in the vehicle using your voice or ask for information, such as weather forecasts.

Launching the Google Assistant

The Google Assistant can be launched in three different ways by

  • saying the voice command "Ok Google" or "Hey Google"1
  • briefly pressing the voice control button PS-1926-Voice control button on the steering wheel keypad
  • pressing the microphone in the center display PS2-2007-Google Assistant microphone icon.

The system will indicate that it is active and listening through a brief audible signal2 and a graphic acknowledgment in the center display.

Voice control examples

After the system starts, you can give instructions and ask questions in natural speech. Here are some examples of how to use voice control.

  • "Navigate home" – Get route guidance to the address stored in Maps as the home address for the Google account used to log in.
  • "Read my messages" – Reads text messages sent to your phone out loud.
  • "Raise the temperature" – Raise the temperature in the passenger compartment.
  • "Play music" – Play music in selected media app.

Logging in with a Google account means that the Assistant will be more personalized when the vehicle is connected to the Internet. For example, it is possible to call contacts stored in contacts.google.com or ask about information entered in Google Calendar.
