SVC (speed-sensitive volume

－ The SVC mode
controls the volume based on vehicle

slow down, the audio volume
decreases. Touch the appropriate
icon (Low, Mid, Hi, Off) to select the
mode.
This function is set to Mid as the
default setting when the vehicle
leaves the factory. If you feel the
sound is too loud, choose low. If you
feel the sound is too quiet, choose
Hi.
You can also select the icon with the
joystick. Move it up and down to
move the highlighting and scroll
through lists. Select the icon, then
move the joystick left or right to
change the setting.
The system will return to the audio
display about 10 seconds after you
stop adjusting a mode.

screen to display the sound level.
There are three screen modes: level
(the sound level is shown with the
vertical bars), spectrum analysis (the
sound level appears as ripples of
water), and off. Each time you touch
the background icon, the display
changes.
Audio System Lighting
You can use the instrument panel
brightness control knob to adjust the
illumination of the audio system (see
