Each mode is shown in the display as it changes. Turn the TUNE knob to adjust the setting to your liking. When the level reaches the center, you will see ''C'' in the display. The system will return to the audio display about 5 seconds after you stop adjusting a mode. Speed-sensitive Volume Compensation (SVC) Audio System Lighting You can use the instrument panel brightness control buttons to adjust the illumination of the audio system (see page 133). The audio system illuminates when the parking lights are on, even if the radio is off. The SVC mode controls the volume based on vehicle speed. The faster you go, the louder the audio volume becomes. As you slow down, the audio volume decreases. The SVC has four modes: SVC OFF, SVC LOW, SVC MID, and SVC HIGH. Turn the TUNE knob to adjust the setting to your liking. If you feel the sound is too loud, choose low. If you feel the sound is too quiet, choose high. 196
