Volume level between different audio modes:
– When switching between audio modes (AM, FM, Bluetooth® Audio, etc.), the audio system saves the previous volume level you were listening to. For example, if you were listening to FM radio at volume level 20 then switched to BT Audio and adjusted the volume level to 30, the volume level will be at 20 when you switch back to FM radio
– When using Bluetooth® Audio, the overall volume is dependent on your device’s volume. If the volume is turned down low on your device it will remain low even if the system volume is turned up
•Using Android Auto™ or Apple CarPlay® and a supported smartphone, the phone’s Navigation App may be displayed on the head unit
•At any time, you can interrupt the Voice Command Feedback by pressing the TALK button on the Steering Wheel
