      • To adjust the volume to the desired level, the driver can use the Infotainment system's volume knob or the volume controls on the steering wheel like before, or a passenger can adjust the volume using the phone.
        ※ Fine-tuning the volume is easier using the vehicle's volume knob. Quicker adjustments can be made using the phone's larger volume steps.
