Voice amplification
Overview
The voice amplification function supports com-
munication between the driver and front
passenger with passengers in the rear compart-
ment. The signals picked up by the microphone
in the rear view mirror are amplified and played
back over the speakers in the rear compart-
ment, depending upon vehicle noise levels.
An automatic adjustment matching occurs
based on speaker volume and ambient noise.
The optimum distance of the speaker from the
rear view mirror is approximately 50 cm. When
the system is active, the feeling of space and the
naturalness of speech playback should be main-
tained as far as is possible; speech intelligibility should be improved when there is an increase in
background noise.
