Speed-sensitive Volume
Compensation (SVC) System
This audio system has the speed
sensitive volume compensation
(SVC) system. There are four
compensation levels; LOW, MID
(medium), HIGH and OFF. The
system monitors the vehicle speed
and changes the volume level as the
vehicle speed goes up. The faster
you go, the louder the audio volume
becomes. As you slow down, the
audio volume decreases.
Audio System Lighting
You can use the instrument panel
brightness control knob to adjust the
illumination of the audio system (see
page 142 ). The audio system
illuminates when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position, even if the radio is off.
