Speed-sensitive Volume
Compensation (SVC) System
This audio system has the speed
sensitive volume compensation
(SVC) system. There are four
compensation levels; LOW, MID
(medium), HIGH and OFF. The
system monitors the vehicle speed
and changes the volume level as the
vehicle speed goes up. The faster
you go, the louder the audio volume
becomes. As you slow down, the
audio volume decreases.
If your vehicle's battery is
disconnected or goes dead, the SVC
may be reset to the default setting
''MID''.
Audio System Lighting
You can use the instrument panel
brightness control knob to adjust the
illumination of the audio control
panel (see page 144 ). The audio
system illuminates when you turn
the ignition switch to the ON (II)
position, even if the radio is off.
