Climate and System.
Each category, in turn, contains a number of sub-
categories and possible settings. The table below

||DISPLAYS AND VOICE CONTROL
* Option/accessory.
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.

Follow these instructions to program
HomeLink ®
, reset all programming, or program
individual buttons.
NOTE In some vehicles, the ignition must be on or in
the "accessory position" before HomeLink
®
can be programmed or used. It can be a good
idea to put new batteries in the remote con-
trol being replaced by HomeLink ®
for faster
programming and better radio signal trans-
mission. The HomeLink ®
buttons should be
reset before programming.
WARNING While HomeLink
®
is being programmed, the
garage door or gate being programmed may
be activated. Make sure that no one is near
the door or gate during programming. When
programming a garage door opener, it is
advised to park outside of the garage. 1.
Point the remote control at the HomeLink ®
button to be programmed and hold it about
2-8 cm (1-3 inches) from the button. Do not
obstruct the HomeLink ®
indicator light.
Note: Some remote controls are more effec-
tive at programming HomeLink ®
from a dis-
tance of about 15-20 cm (6-12 inches). Try
moving the remote control closer or further
away if you are experiencing any difficulties
programming.
2.
Press and hold both the remote control but-
ton and the HomeLink ®
button to be pro-
grammed.

a second) and either flashes quickly (about
10 times a second) or glows steadily.
>Steady glow: Indication that program-
ming is complete. Press the programmed
button twice to activate.
Flashing quickly: The device being pro-
grammed with HomeLink ®
may have a

twice to see whether the programming
works. Otherwise, continue with the fol-
lowing steps. 4. Locate the "training" button

sound reproduction using digital signal process-
ing. This calibration takes into account speakers,
amplifiers, passenger compartment acoustics, lis-
tener position, etc. for each combination of vehi-
cle model and audio system. There is also a
dynamic calibration that takes into account the
volume control setting and the vehicle's speed.

lowing settings can be selected:
• Tone — personal preference for bass, treble,
equalizer for example.
