Key points about climate voice commands
In order to initiate a climate command, you must always say the mode “Climate” first.
Temperatures may be given in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius but not both. Touch Settings > System to make your selection. The command "Climate automatic" adjusts fan speed based on desired temperature relative to outside temperature.
The personalized temperature settings "My Temperature" and "Dual Temperature Zones" are made manually in the Climate corner of the 8-inch touchscreen. You can then use voice commands to turn them on or off. See Setting and adjusting climate controls. Here are the commands you need to manage your in-vehicle climate:
