Sound settings
The system's volume is normally adjusted using the volume control below the center display or the right-side steering wheel keypad. This applies, for example, when playing music or the radio or during phone calls and active traffic messages.
Optimal sound reproduction
The audio system is precalibrated for optimal sound reproduction using digital signal processing. This calibration takes into account speakers, amplifiers, passenger compartment acoustics, listener position, etc. for each combination of vehicle model and audio system. There is also a dynamic calibration that takes into account the volume control setting and the vehicle's speed.
Sound settings as needed
In Top view under , the following settings can be selected:
- Tone — personal preference for bass, treble, equalizer for example.
- Balance - balance between right/left and front/rear speakers.
- System Volumes – adjusts volume in the various systems of the car, e.g. Voice Control, Park Assist and Phone Ringtone.
Sound experience*
Sound Experience is opened from the center display's app view and gives access to further audio settings. The following settings are possible:
- Studio - the sound can be optimized for Driver, All and Rear.
- Individual stage - surround sound mode with settings for intensity and enclosure.
- Concert hall - reproduces the acoustics of Gothenburg's Concert Hall
Active noise suppression*
Some vehicles are equipped with an active noise suppression function that reduces engine noise in the passenger compartment using the audio system. Microphones in the ceiling liner detect distracting noise and the audio system sends out a counteracting sound to help reduce the unwanted noise.
