SCV Your system has a feature called
Speed-Compensated-Volume
(SCV). With SCV, your
audio system adjusts automatically
to make up for road
and wind noise as
you drive. Set the volume at the
desired level. Move the control ring behind the upper
knob to the right
to adjust the SCV. Then, as you drive,
SCV automatically increases the volume, as necessary,
to overcome noise at any particular speed. The volume
level should always sound the same
to you as you drive.
If you don’t want
to use SCV, turn the control all the
way down.
Each notch on the control ring allows for
more volume compensation at faster vehicle speeds.
