Why does the radio volume go down when I put the car in reverse ?

[Kithmo]

As in the the title, I can't see any logic in it.

 

[teepee]

mmmm.... haven't noticed that one yet. Is the car trying to suggest you shouldn't be singing along whilst trying to reverse?

 

[kiltox]

So that you pay more attention to the sound from the sensors. Lots of cars do it.

 

[rbpasapera]

because you need to hear the reverse parking sensors!!

 

[Kithmo]

That would make sense if I didn't have a reversing camera and cross traffic alert.

You can adjust the volume when driving backwards and when driving forward. The car then remembers the volume. I love this feature.

I'll try that

Adjusting the loudeness also works with the warning tones for speed cameras if you have Tomtom Go installed on an iPhone. Very usefull.

Tried adjusting the volume whilst in reverse today and it didn't work

I think it's a good idea.......less distraction when reversing.

And helpful to only concentrate on 2 things at once, reversing and the mouthpiece in the passenger seat

I am not even going there.

Quite a normal feature. I had it on my last 2 SEATs too!

"Shut up, I'm trying to concentrate" usually works for turning the volume down on the mouthpiece for me.
