wheel keypad or the centre display. The num-
ber of speakers and amplifiers depends on
which audio system the car is equipped with.

Audio settings
The sound reproduction quality is preset, but
it can be adjusted as well.
The volume is normally adjusted with the vol-
ume control below the centre display or with
the right-hand steering wheel keypad. This
applies, for example, during playback of music,
radio, ongoing phone calls and active traffic
messages.
Sound reproduction
The sound system is pre-calibrated by means
of digital signal processing. This calibration
takes into account loudspeakers, amplifiers,
passenger compartment acoustics, listener
position, etc., for each combination of car
model and audio system. There is also a
dynamic calibration that takes into account
the setting of the volume control and vehicle
speed.
Personal preferences
Various settings are available in the top view
under Settings Sound depending on the
car's audio system.
