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.

If the volume of a background media source
exceeds a threshold, the speech amplification is
stopped. The threshold is designed for relaxed
conversation with background music. If the
threshold value is not exceeded, the voice
amplification is continued with a slight time
delay.
Voice amplification is paused during active tele-
phone calls or when using the Voice Control
System. A message will appear in the display.
You can assign these functions to the favorites
button (
