DS 3: Voice commands / Steering wheel-mounted controls. First steps
DS 3 2016-2026 Owners Manual
Steering wheel-mounted controls
Voice commands:
Voice commands can be issued from any
screen page after a short press on the "Voice
commands" button located on the steering
wheel or at the end of the lighting control stalk
(depending on equipment), as long as there is no
telephone call in progress.
To ensure that voice
commands are
always recognised by the system, please
follow these recommendations:
- use natural language in a normal tone
without breaking up words or raising your
voice.
- always wait for the "beep" (audible signal)
before speaking.
- for best results, closing the windows and
sunroof is recommended, to avoid extraneous
interference (depending on version).
- before issuing a voice command, ask any
other passengers to refrain from speaking.
