Using your audio system —
— Some basics
This section describes some of the basic fea-
tures of your audio system. Some information
may not pertain to your system.

switch is in the “ACC” or “ON” position.

charged, do not leave the car audio on
longer than necessary when the engine

matic return to the previous screen from the

away from the screen and then touch
it again.
You cannot operate dimmed
switches.
Wipe off fingerprints on the surface of
the display using a glass cleaning
cloth.
(b) Tone and balance
How good an audio program sounds to you is
largely determined by the mix of the treble,
midrange, and bass levels. In fact, different
kinds of music and vocal programs usually
sound better with different mixes of treble,
mid−range, and bass.
A good balance of the left and right stereo
channels and of the front and rear sound lev-
els is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to a ste-
reo recording or broadcast, changing the
right/left balance will increase the volume of
one group of sounds while decreasing the vol-
ume of another.

To adjust the tone, touch the “+” or “”
switch on the screen. To adjust the bal-
ance between the front and rear speakers,
touch the “FRONT” or “REAR” switch on

tween the left and right, touch the “L” or
“R” switch on the screen.
