How to increase or decrease volume of navigation voice in Mercedes-Benz vehicle

When you get a new car, the stock navigation settings and infotainment notifications are new and exciting for about a week. After that, you begin to realize what is working for you and what doesn’t. Modern cars, especially Mercedes-Benz cars, have so many functions and settings that it would take a few days to read through the owner’s manual. Even after that, the chances of you remembering everything are slim without a second read. One of the most common questions Mercedes-Benz dealerships receive has something to do with adjusting volume controls for navigation or infotainment. Actually, how to increase or decrease volume of navigation voice in a Mercedes-Benz is very simple.

Just Like A Smartphone

On a smartphone, the volume buttons control whatever is playing on the screen at the time. That means if you are listening to music, your volume control will adjust entertainment volume. If you are talking to your great aunt, a few clicks up with the same button will turn up the telephone volume. Mercedes-Benz cars work the same way. To adjust navigation voice volume, you just have to use the volume controls while directions are being spoken out loud. To do this, you can either wait for another direction or replay the previous announcement, then hit volume before the announcement is over and the radio comes back on.

Muting Navigation Voice

In a Mercedes-Benz, there are two ways to mute the navigation voice. You can lower the volume to zero during a navigation update, or you can hit the mute button on your steering wheel. Either of these methods will get rid of the constant navigation updates in your Mercedes-Benz. If you have any questions, come to Mercedes-Benz of Arrowhead to get a free lesson!
