The fade setting adjusts the balance of volume between the front and rear speakers. By default, the fade is set at the center with an equal balance of volume. Some vehicles have a fade adjuster as shown in Figure 1. Other vehicles have a graphical fade adjuster as shown in Figure 2.
The fade setting does not affect headset or microphone audio levels. Fade does not apply to models without rear speakers.

  3. Adjust the front to rear fade.
    1. Fade adjustment (typical): Press the R (rear) or F (front) controls to adjust the balance of the speaker volume between the front and rear speakers. The center circle indicates an equal balance of volume to both front and rear speakers.
    2. Graphical fade adjustment (select models): Adjust the front to rear sound balance by pushing left or right cursor controls. The fade adjustment line displays the balance of sound between the front and rear speakers. The center dashed line represents the equal balance of volume for front and rear speakers.
