2-65 Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h). The
odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven,
in either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers
(used in Canada).
You may wonder what happens if a vehicle has to have a
new odometer installed. The new one may read the
correct mileage. This is because your vehicle's computer
has stored the mileage in memory.
Trip Odometer
There are two trip odometers, which are indicated by
Trip A and Trip B. In order to change from one to the
other, press the A/B portion of the TRIP button.
By pressing this button, you
can tell how many miles
you have traveled on either
your Trip A or Trip B
odometer since you last set
the odometer back to zero.
Press the RESET part of the button until zeros appear to
reset the odometers.
If your vehicle is first sold in the United States, the trip
odometer will return to zero after 999.9 miles (1 609
km). If your vehicle is first sold in Canada, the trip
odometer will return to zero after 1 999.9 km (1,242
miles). The RESET TRIP A/B button only resets the trip
odometer (A or B) that is being displayed. Each trip
odometer has to be reset individually.

2-91 Comfort Controls and Radio System
Personalization
These features allow both drivers to personalize their
own climate control settings as well as their radio
settings. For more information, see ªClimate Control
Personalizationº and ªRadio Personalizationº in
the Index.
The outside temperature is always available for display
if it has been selected for a DIC display when your
vehicle is running unless an overriding DIC message
appears. You can change the temperature from
Fahrenheit to Celsius by pressing the ENG/MET
(English/metric) button on the instrument panel. For
more information on the DIC, see ªDIC Messagesº in
the Index.
The electronic sensor can be affected by road or engine
heat during idling, slow driving or when the engine is
first stared after a short trip. To ensure proper automatic
climate control operation, the outside air temperature
display may not update as quickly as expected. This is to
allow the air surrounding the outside temperature sensor
to be as close to the actual outside conditions as
possible. This is determined by how much time has
elapsed since the vehicle has been turned off and by
vehicle speed.
Continuous Variable Road Sensing
Suspension (CVRSS)
The CVRSS automatically adjusts the ride of your
vehicle. Automatic ride control is achieved through a
computer used to control and monitor the suspension
system. The controller receives input from various
sensors to determine the proper system response. If the
controller detects a problem within the system, the DIC
will display a SERVICE SUSPENSION SYS message.
If this message appears, have your vehicle serviced at
your dealership.
