The functions of the voice control "S-Voice"

When the vehicle mode is activated, you will be informed about new events by the "S-Voice" voice control system. If you want to operate your smartphone by voice control, say "Hello Galaxy". You can then execute various commands.

• "Call": Call a contact by saying the name of the contact on your smartphone after the command.
• "SMS": dictate a message and send it.
• "Navigate": Name the destination and your S4 will guide you there.
• "Play": You are not playing games with voice control. Instead, the music player opens and plays your music.
• "Weather": Provides information about current weather forecasts.

To deactivate the mode, pull the status bar down again and click on the cross next to the notification "Vehicle mode activated". Keep in mind that some features require an internet connection, which can be costly. You can find the current CHIP test for the top smartphone here.
