system on and off.
Turn this knob clockwise or counterclockwise to
increase or decrease the volume.Speed Compensated Volume (SCV):The radio
is also equipped with Speed Compensated
Volume (SCV). When SCV is on, the radio volume
automatically adjusts to compensate for road

includes Bose AudioPilot®noise compensation
technology instead of SCV. When turned ON,

noise, so that your music always sounds the same
at the set volume level.
This feature is most effective at lower radio
volume settings where background noise can
affect how well you hear the music being played
through your vehicle’s audio system. At higher
volume settings, where the music is much louder
than the background noise, there may be little
or no adjustments by AudioPilot
