Text message voice control

Voice control allows you to control functions in the vehicle, e.g. reading out text messages from a connected cellular phone.

Reading out text messages

Before voice commands for the cellular phone's functions (text messages, phone calls and media player) can be used, a cellular phone must be connected to the vehicle.

To read out a text message, press the voice control button on the right-hand side of the steering wheel and say "Read message".
