Speed Compensated Volume
(SCV): Radios with Speed

desired level.
2. Press the MENU button to display the radio setup menu.
3. Press the softkey under the AUTO VOLUM (automatic

faster vehicle speeds.
Noise Compensation
Technology: Vehicles with the LTZ
package and a Bose Audio System
include the Bose AudioPilot
®noise
compensation technology. When turned on, AudioPilot continuously
adjusts the audio system
equalization, to compensate for
background noise, so that 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 the music is heard. At higher
volume settings, where the music is
much louder than the background
noise, there might be little or no
adjustments by AudioPilot.
To activate:
1. Set the radio volume to the
desired level.
2. Press the MENU button to display the radio setup menu.
3. Press the softkey under the AUTO VOLUM (automatic
volume) tab on the radio display.
4. Press the softkey under the ON tab. The display times out after
approximately 10 seconds.
