Conversely, when the vehicle ahead speeds up or moves into another lane, the system accelerates to the preset speed.

Two 6 x 9 inch premium cone speakers are within the front doors and two 6.5-inch premium speakers are within the rear doors, pushing sound toward the center of the cabin. Two 2.5 inch imaging surround speakers and 8-inch dual voice coil subwoofer send clean sound from behind. The Living Room is redefined.
