source, either radio, CD, DVD, or auxiliary, if your

Vehicle Noise Compensation (VNC):Your
vehicle has a Bose
®audio system. It includes Bose
AudioPilot®noise compensation technology. 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
®.To use AudioPilot
®, set the radio volume at a low to
moderate listening level. Begin listening while the
vehicle is stopped with the motor running. Turn the
AudioPilot
®on by pressing the tune/sel (select)
knob to enter the main menu. Then turn the tune/sel
knob until VNC:AUDIOPILOT appears on the
display. Press the tune/sel knob to turn AudioPilot
®
on and off. An X will appear in the box when it is
turned on. Then, resume driving, gradually
increasing the vehicle speed. You will notice that
your music sounds the same regardless of
background noises; such as road noise, tire hum, or
wind. With the AudioPilot
®turned off, repeat this
process again without adjusting the volume or tone
controls. You will notice that background noise is
now audible, and will prevent you from hearing
softer passages of the music. To turn AudioPilot
®
off, press the tune/sel knob to enter the main menu,
turn the tune/sel knob until VNC:AUDIOPILOT
appears, and press the tune/sel knob. The X in the
box will disappear when it is turned off. For

®, please visit

Radio Data System (RDS)

RDS features are available for use only on FM
stations that broadcast RDS information.
With RDS, the radio can do the following:
Seek to stations broadcasting the selected
type of programming
Receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies
Display messages from radio stations
Seek to stations with traffic announcementsThis system relies upon receiving speci c
information from these stations and will only
work when the information is available. In rare
cases, a radio station may broadcast incorrect
information that will cause the radio features
to work improperly. If this happens, contact the
radio station.
While the radio is tuned to an RDS station, the
station name or call letters will appear on the
display instead of the frequency. RDS stations may
also provide the time of day, a program type (PTY)
for current programming, and the name of the
program being broadcast.
RDS Messages
ALERT:Alert warns of local and national
emergencies. When, an alert announcement comes
on the current radio station or a related network
station, ALERT will appear on the display. You will
hear the announcement, even if the volume is low
or a CD or DVD is playing. If a CD or DVD is
playing, play will stop during the announcement.
Alert announcements cannot be turned off. If the
radio tunes to a related network station for the
announcement, it will return to the original station
when the announcement is nished.
