What is the reason for the unresponsive "Hello Mercedes" voice command?

If the voice command still doesn't work when activated, there may be an issue with the voice module, and it needs to be checked at a repair shop. The Mercedes voice wake-up button is located on the right side of the steering wheel, marked with a head icon, which serves as the voice control trigger key. Pressing it will activate the function.

I've also experienced unresponsive voice commands in my Mercedes, with common causes being system deactivation or microphone malfunctions. First, check voice activation settings: the feature might be disabled, or microphone ports could be clogged with debris—gently cleaning them by hand may help. Another possibility is software glitches, system lag, or pending updates; try rebooting the infotainment screen or turning off the car for a few minutes before restarting. Weak network connectivity can also interfere, especially with cloud-dependent services; verify signal strength and online account status. If issues persist, hardware problems like damaged microphones or loose wiring may require professional diagnosis. Regular maintenance helps prevent failures—clean the interior periodically and avoid high-noise environments that disrupt voice recognition.
