sound reproduction but these settings can be
personalized.

the volume control below the center display or
the right-side steering wheel keypad. This

sound reproduction using digital signal process-

dynamic calibration that takes into account the
volume control setting and the vehicle's speed.

lowing settings can be selected:
• Tone — personal preference for bass, treble,
equalizer for example.
