system on and off.
Turn this knob clockwise to increase or

Speed Compensated Volume (SCV):The radio
has Speed Compensated Volume (SCV). When

vehicle is equipped with a Bose
®Audio System, it
includes Bose AudioPilot®noise compensation
technology instead of SCV. When turned ON,
AudioPilot
®continuously adjusts the audio system
equalization, to compensate for background
noise, so that your music always sounds the same
at the set volume level.
This feature is most effective at lower radio
volume settings where background noise can
affect how well you hear the music being played
through your vehicle’s audio system. At higher
volume settings, where the music is much louder
than the background noise, there may be little
or no adjustments by AudioPilot
®.

setup menu.
