Playing the Radio
VOLUME POWER: Press this control to turn the
system on and off. To increase volume, turn the control
clockwise. Turn it counterclockwise to decrease volume.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. Press this button to select MIN, MED,
MAX or OFF. Each choice allows for more volume
compensation at faster vehicle speeds. 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, select OFF.
If your vehicle has the Bose radio, your audio system
monitors the noise in your vehicle. Then, SCV
automatically adjusts the volume so that it always
sounds the same to you. To use SCV, press the SCV
button until SPD COMP ON appears on the display.
To turn SCV off, press the SCV button until SPD
COMP OFF appears on the display.
