What is the Volvo voice wake-up word?
2 Answers
Volvo's voice wake-up word is 'Xiao Wo'. Here are the relevant details: 1. Voice Function: The voice assistant can be activated by pressing the button on the left side of the steering wheel or by saying the 'wake-up word'; users can also set a personalized wake-up word, adding a certain level of fun. 2. Functionality: Users can interrupt the voice assistant's broadcast, but it does not support functions like contextual connection; additionally, the richness of the voice assistant's functions needs improvement. For example, some functions of multimedia, air conditioning, and navigation cannot be operated without waking up the voice assistant, and the voice assistant does not support window control.
As a Volvo owner who has been driving an XC60 for several years, the voice wake-up phrase is straightforward: "Hey Volvo." Simply saying this phrase activates the system. For example, while driving, if I want to adjust the air conditioning, I say, "Hey Volvo, increase the temperature," and it responds immediately without needing to glance at the screen. The system can also handle navigation, play music, or check the weather—pretty smart. Activating it is convenient; it's enabled by default, but you can also check the microphone status in the vehicle settings. Occasionally, if the environment is too noisy and the wake-up fails, just roll down the window, close it, and try again—it usually works. This feature is designed for safety, reducing the risk of manual operations, especially on highways. It's recommended to update the software regularly to keep it running smoothly, significantly enhancing the overall driving experience.
