If you need to increase the output volume of an external audio source, first lower the volume on the Infotainment system.  
If the sound from the external audio source is too quiet, increase the output volume of the external audio source. If this is not  
sufficient, set the input volume to Medium or Loud.  
If the sound from the connected external audio source is too loud or distorted, lower the output volume on the external audio source. If  
this is not sufficient, set the input volume to Medium or Quiet.  
Electronic Voice Enhancer  
The Voice Enhancer depends on the vehicle model and equipment and is only available in some countries.  
When the Voice Enhancer is activated, the spoken words of the driver and front passenger are transmitted to the speakers in the rear  
seats via the hands-free system microphone. This enables good communication between the driver, front passenger and passengers in  
the rear seats, even at high speeds. The driver can communicate with the vehicle occupants of the rear seats, while driving, without  
having to turn around or speak more loudly.
