IntelliMute

IntelliMute

is a unique new feature that allows you to avoid alerts you 

don’t need to hear because you are stopped or moving slowly. By sensing 
the “revs” (RPMs) of your engine, IntelliMute knows when you are at low
speed and automatically mutes alerts (except for strobe signals from
emergency vehicles).

Before IntelliMute will work, you must set an activation point for your engine’s
revs (see page 11). Whenever the revs are below that point, IntelliMute will
begin muting. The activation point will be stored in memory and recalled 
each time the power is turned on. The factory setting is 

IntelliMute

off.

NOTE

IntelliMute may not work with some vehicles because it cannot sense
the engine’s revs. In such cases, you can reduce unwanted audio alerts
by using 

Auto Mute

and 

City

mode when appropriate.
