NOTE
For the best sound reproduction, we rec-
ommend headphones with impedance
between 16 – 32 ohm. The sensitivity of
these should be equal to or greater than
102 dB. The headphone connections are
intended for 3.5 mm contacts and are
located under the lower edge of the socket.All headphones are automatically turned off
when the ignition is switched off. They must be
manually restarted when the ignition is
switched on again.
Headphones – limitations•
The headphones will only work when the
ignition key is in position I or higher.
•
If a set of headphones is connected to the
same source that is being sent through the
speakers, the headphone controls cannot
be used to change track or station. This is
to prevent the driver from being distracted
by an unexpected change in music.
•
If the driver selects the same sound source
as someone listening to this source
through headphones, the driver takes con-
trol of the sound source.
•
Only one disc in the optional CD changer,
and one track on the CD can be played at
a time.
•
Headphone users can choose from among
the preset radio stations (AM, FM1, FM2)
previously set by the driver.
•
If FM is played in the speakers, AM is not
available and vice versa.

Optimal sound reproductionThe audio system is calibrated for optimal
sound reproduction through the use of digital
signal processing. This calibration takes into
account the speakers, amplifier, cabin acous-
tics, the seating position of the listener, etc., for
each combination of vehicle and audio system.
There is also dynamic calibration that takes
into account the setting of the volume control,
radio reception, and the vehicle's speed. The
sound settings described in this manual, such
as
BASS
,TREBLE
, and
EQUALIZER
are only
intended to enable the user to adapt sound
reproduction to his/her personal preferences.
