(SCV):
Radios with SCV
automatically adjusts the radio
volume to compensate for road and
wind noise as the vehicle's speed
changes while driving, so that the
volume level stays consistent.
To activate SCV:
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 desired Speed Compensated
Volume setting (OFF, Low, Med,
or High) to select the level of
radio volume compensation. The
display times out after
approximately 10 seconds. Each
higher setting allows for more
radio volume compensation at
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.

Climate Controls 8-7
If vent, bi-level, or floor mode is
selected again, the climate control
system displays the previous
temperature settings.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the
windows are clear.
#(Air Conditioning):Press to
turn the air conditioning (A/C)
compressor on and off. An indicator
light comes on to show that the air
conditioning is on.
If this button is pressed when the air
conditioning compressor is
unavailable, the indicator flashes
three times and then turns off. If the
air conditioning is on and the
outside temperature drops below a
temperature which is too cool for air
conditioning to be effective, the air
conditioning light turns off to show
that the air conditioning mode has
been canceled.
On hot days, open the windows long
enough to let hot inside air escape.
This helps to reduce the time it takes for the vehicle to cool down.
It also helps the system to operate
more efficiently.
The air conditioning system
removes moisture from the air, so a
small amount of water might drip
under the vehicle while idling or
after turning off the engine. This is
normal.
@(Recirculation):
Press to turn
the recirculation mode on or off. An
indicator light comes on to show
that the recirculation is on.
This mode recirculates and helps to
quickly cool the air inside the
vehicle. It can be used to help
prevent outside air and odors from
entering the vehicle.
The recirculation mode cannot be
used with floor, defog, or defrost
modes. If recirculation is selected
with one of those modes, the
indicator light flashes three times
and then turns off. The air
conditioning compressor also comes
on when this mode is activated.
While in recirculation mode the windows may fog when the weather
is cold and damp. To clear the fog,
select either the defog or defrost
mode and increase the fan speed.
The recirculation mode can also be
turned off by turning off the ignition.
PASS:
Press to set the passenger
temperature setting to match the
driver temperature setting. The
PASS indicator will turn off. When
the passenger temperature setting
is set different than the driver
setting, the indicator on the PASS
button illuminates and both the
driver side and passenger side
temperature displays are shown.
REAR: For vehicles with the rear
heat and air conditioning controls.
Press to turn the rear climate control
system on or off. See Rear Climate
Control System (Rear Climate
Control Only) on page 8-9 orRear
