ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION
This system uses microphonesO1located
inside the vehicle to detect engine boom-
ing noise. The system then automatically
generates a noise canceling sound
through the speakers and woofer (if so
equipped) to reduce engine booming
noise.
NOTE:
To operate the active noise cancella-
tion system properly:
• Do not cover the speakers or woofer (if so equipped). • Do not cover the microphones.
• Do not change or modif y speakers in-
cluding the woofer (if so equipped) and
any audio related components such as
the amplifier.
• Do not make any modification includ- ing sound deadening or modifications
around the microphones or speakers.
ACTIVE SOUND ENHANCEMENT
Active sound enhancement enhances ex-
isting engine sounds according to the en-
gine speed and driving modes through the
speakers and woofer (if so equipped).
