Speed-sensitive Volume Compensation (SVC)

The audio systems are equipped with speed-sensitive volume compensation (SVC). The audio unit receives the vehicle speed pulse (VSP) from the PCM. The system processes the speed input and increases the audio system volume level as the vehicle speed increases to compensate for the various interior noises that occur at higher speeds. When the vehicle slows down, the volume returns to its normal level. The SVC has four settings: SVC Off, Low, Mid and High that can be adjusted using the audio unit. The SVC comes from the factory with Mid set as the default (see the owner's manual for more information).
