To activate voice commands on a Volkswagen Golf, press the dedicated button on the steering wheel and then say what you want. Once you press the button, you will hear a beep indicating that the system is ready to receive voice commands.

At this point, you can ask the system for what you need, for example, "Call [contact name]", "Navigate to [destination]", or "Change radio station". The system will process your request and attempt to perform the desired action. Ensure you speak clearly and distinctly to guarantee proper understanding by the voice recognition system.
