Playing the Radio

PWR (Power): Press this knob to turn the system
on and off.

VOL (Volume): Turn this knob to increase or to
decrease volume. The knob is capable of rotating
continuously.

SCV (Speed-Compensated Volume): 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. Turn the control
ring behind the upper knob clockwise to increase
the SCV. Each notch on the control ring allows for more
volume compensation at faster vehicle speeds. Then,
as you drive, SCV automatically increases the volume,
as necessary, to overcome noise at any speed. The
volume level should always sound the same to you as
you drive. If you do not want to use SCV, turn the control
all the way down.

RECALL: Press this button to switch the display
between the radio station frequency and the time. Time
display is available with the ignition turned off.

Finding a Station

AM FM: Press this button to switch between FM1, FM2,
and AM. The display will show your selection.

TUNE: Press this knob lightly so it extends. Turn it to
select radio stations. Push the knob back into its stored
position when you are not using it.
