City Mode Sensitivity

City STD

 (Standard) 

In this setting, when you put your V8 in the 
City mode, X-band sensitivity is significantly 
reduced, to reduce annoyance from X-band 
intrusion alarms and motion sensors. 
(factory default)

City LoX

 (Low X band sensitivity) 

In this setting, when you put your V8 in the 
City mode, X-band sensitivity is reduced 
more than the standard setting. This will 
reduce X-band alarms from other sources 
even further, but also significantly reduces 
range to X-band traffic radar.

City NoX

 (No X-band sensitivity) 

In this setting, when you put your V8 in the 
City mode, V8 will not respond to any  
X-band signals.

  NOTE: These settings only apply 
when the V8 is operated in City 
mode. X-band sensitivity is not 
affected when used in “AutoScan” 
or “Highway” modes.

   WARNING: Only choose this 
setting if you are absolutely certain 
that there are no X-band traffic 
radar units where you drive.

Bands

BandsDFT 

In this setting, all North American radar and 
laser frequencies are monitored. This is the 
factory setting and it is recommended that 
you use your V8 in this mode. 

BandsMOD 

In this setting, your V8 will warn you with 
an audible alert, and associated text 
message stating which band has changed 
from the original factory setting (i.e. “SWS  
ON”). This warning is displayed during the 
start up sequence (standard or fast).
