Driver Selectable Surround
DSS (Driver Selectable Surround) mode can be turned on and off with the volume control knob on the
radio or steering wheel volume control buttons. DSS will give your music a new dimension by simulating a
surround sound feel. You can enable DSS by turning the volume control knob on the radio up two
increments and then down two increments within three seconds. You will hear a momentary attenuation in
the sound when the system switches to DSS mode. You can also enable DSS with the steering wheel
volume control buttons in the same way. Press the volume up button twice and then the volume down
button twice within three seconds. To disable DSS just repeat the same process.
Note: the balance is automatically controlled when you are in DSS mode. In fact, an easy way to tell
whether you are in DSS or non-DSS mode is to try the balance control. DSS can be utilized with any
source - i.e., Sirius® satellite radio, regular radio, and compact disc player.
KMS-1® or Kicker® Mobile Surround
If your vehicle is equipped with factory VES® (Video Entertainment System) you can enjoy the benefits of
KMS-1® (Kicker Mobile Surround).
KMS-1 is enabled automatically when the Radio is put into the VES® mode. This feature offers the
ultimate listening experience by providing surround sound uniquely equalized for your interior space.
Note: While in KMS mode the system automatically sets balance, fade and tone to provide the optimal
surround experience.
KMS® is available only if a DVD is in the player and the radio mode is set to VES®.
