Bose® sound system
ALC (Automatic volume adjustment)
The automatic level control (ALC) is a feature that automatically adjusts audio volume and sound quality according to the vehicle speed. The volume increases in accordance with the increase in vehicle speed, and decreases as vehicle speed decreases.
Bose® Centerpoint (Automatic surround level adjustment)
Centerpoint®*3 lets vehicle owners enjoy a Bose® surround sound experience from their existing MP3s and satellite radio.
Specifically engineered to meet the unique demands of reproducing surround sound in a vehicle.
Converts stereo signals to multiple channels allowing greater precision when reproducing the sound.
An enhanced algorithm to simultaneously create a wider, more spacious sound field.
*3 Centerpoint® is a registered trademark of Bose Corporation.
Bose® AudioPilot (Automatic volume adjustment)
When driving, background noise can interfere with enjoying music.
AudioPilot®*4 noise compensation technology continuously adjusts the music to compensate for background noise and vehicle speed.
It reacts only to sustained noise sources and not intermittent ones, such as speed bumps.
An enhanced DSP algorithm allows faster and more effective compensation for unusual situations, such as driving on a very rough road or at high speeds.

To prevent a deterioration in the voice recognition rate and voice quality, the following points should be observed:
-
The voice recognition cannot be performed while voice guidance or the beep sound is operating. Wait until the voice guidance or the beep sound is finished before saying your commands.
-
Phone related commands are available only when your phone is connected via Bluetooth®. Make sure your phone is connected via Bluetooth® before you operate phone related voice commands.
-
Music play commands, such as Play Artist and Play Album can be used only in USB audio mode.
-
Do not speak too slowly or loudly (no loud voice).
-
Speak clearly, without pausing between words or numbers.
-
Dialects or different wording other than hands-free prompts cannot be recognized by voice recognition. Speak in the wording specified by the voice commands.
-
It is not necessary to face the microphone or approach it. Speak the voice commands while maintaining a safe driving position.
-
Close the windows and/or the moonroof to reduce loud noises from outside the vehicle, or turn down the airflow of the climate control system while Bluetooth® Hands-Free is being used.
-
Make sure the vents are not directing air up towards the microphone.
