About Automatic Volume  
Using a Backup Camera  
On devices with hands-free calling, automatic volume allows the  
device to adjust the volume level based on the background  
noise in the vehicle (page 10).  
WARNING  
Keep your eyes and mind on driving while using the backup  
camera. Using a backup camera is an enhancement for safety  
practices. The backup camera is not a replacement for driver  
attentiveness and good judgment.  
Automatic volume control lowers the volume of the device when  
background noise is low and raises the volume level when  
background noise increases.  
Enabling Automatic Volume  
If a composite video backup camera has been installed in your  
vehicle, you can view the output of the camera on your device.  
Your device can increase or decrease the volume automatically  
based on the level of background noise.  
If necessary, connect the camera to the video-in jack on  
the mount.
