Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine SCV Your system has a feature called
Speed-Compensated-Volume (SCV). With SCV, your
audio system adjusts automatically to make
up for road
and wind noise as
you drive. Set the volume at the
desired level. Move the control ring behind the upper
knob clockwise
to adjust the SCV. Then, as you drive,
