Sound stage

The sound experience can be optimized for the driver's seat, both front seats or the rear seat. If the front and rear seats are occupied, the sound stage setting Front seats is recommended. Select one of the options under Audio settings Sound stage.

Audio volume and automatic volume control

The infotainment system compensates for disrupting noises in the passenger compartment by increasing the volume according to the speed of the vehicle. The level of sound compensation can be set at low, medium, high or off. Select the level under Audio settings Volume compensation.

External audio source volume

If an external devices such as an MP3 player or an iPod is connected to the AUX socket, the device's volume may be different from the volume of the internal sound sources such as the disc player or the radio. If the external sound source's volume is too high, the quality of the sound may be impaired. To help prevent this, adjust the input volume of the external audio source:

NOTE

Sound quality may be affected if the MP3 player is being charged while the system is in AUX mode. To help prevent this, avoid charging the MP3 player in a 12-volt socket while it is being played.

1. Press MEDIA and turn TUNE to AUX. Press OK/MENU or wait for several seconds.

2. Press OK/MENU and turn TUNE to AUX input volume. Confirm by pressing OK/ MENU.

3. Turn TUNE to adjust the volume.

Optimal sound reproduction

The audio system is pre-calibrated for optimal sound reproduction using digital signal processing.

This calibration takes into account factors such as the speakers, amplifier, cabin acoustics, the listeners' seating positions, etc., for each combination of vehicle/infotainment system.

There is also a dynamic calibration that takes into consideration the volume level, radio reception, and the speed of the vehicle.

The settings that are described in this manual, (Bass, Treble, Equalizer etc.) are only intended to enable the user to adapt sound reproduction to his/her personal tastes.
