Your vehicle is equipped with a state of the art audio
amplifier that provides 5.1-channel simulated surround
sound from any stereo audio source. A new feature of the
KICKERaudio system offers the ability to choose sur-
round sound for any audio source.
“Audio Surround” is optimized for front seat passengers
for any audio source. This surround effect is available for
audio from any source – AM/FM/CD/ Satellite Radio or
AUX – and is activated through the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC). Refer to “Driver-Selectable
Surround Sound (DSS)” under “Electronic Vehicle Infor-
mation Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instru-
ment Panel”. DSS modes for audio sources are “Stereo” and “Audio
Surround,” which is surround sound equalized for the
front seat occupants. Please note that DSS effects are
dependent on the mix of the original recording. Some
audio will sound better in DSS modes, others in Stereo
mode.
NOTE:
Depending on the audio source, the output may
sound better in stereo or DDS surround mode.
When in “Audio Surround” mode, balance is set auto-
matically. Fader control is available in surround mode
but should be set to the center position for optimal
surround performance.
