the vehicle's front audio system
speakers and overrides the audio
system. The volume level while on a
mobile device call can be adjusted by
pressing the steering wheel controls or
the volume control on the MFC. The
adjusted volume level remains in
memory for later calls. The volume
cannot be lowered beyond a certain
level.
