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® AudioPilot (Automatic volume adjustment)

When driving, background noise can interfere with enjoying music.

AudioPilot®*3 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.

In addition, a system is equipped which switches the audio to the optimum acoustics corresponding to the opening and closing of the soft top/roof.

The acoustic switching function is linked to the operation of the top lock lever/retractable hardtop switch and audio playback is muted for about 1 second while switching.

*3 AudioPilot® is a registered trademark of Bose Corporation.
