Automatic sound control on radio

Hi - I have the automatic sound level thingy switched on for the radio, but I cant hear that it makes any difference - The handbook doesnt give any special intructions - is this speed related or noise related? or doesnt anyones' work
thanks Steve & Lyn

there is another topic that covers this but the jist of it goes like this...

Its supposed to work on noise levels but no-one's works.

Shame it would have been a nice touch, but then to turn it up load enough to hear it at speed with roof down would probably blow the standard speakers anyway!

I'm sure the feature was incorporated into the cost of the car though!!! :rolleyes:

I hate to say this but mine does actually work. The only thing is it seems to do it the wrong way round.
For example when I reach higher speeds the volume goes quieter. When I graduall y get slower in a traffic jam it goes back louder

Still rather have a working one the wrong way round than not one at all ;->

you'd rather have it working the wrong way round than not at all?!?!? Bizarre.
So I guess its turned off all the time then?

Well it was supposed to be in my Oct 2001 pre-multiplex but you guessed it, it doesn't work either.

Not bad of Peugoet advertising a feature that either doesn't work or isn't actually there in the first place, cost effective ingenious idea I'd say
