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.
Continuous Variable Road Sensing Suspension
(CVRSS) (If Equipped)
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.Oil Life Indicator
This feature lets you know when to change the engine
oil. It's based on the engine oil temperatures and your
driving patterns. To see the display, press the INFO
button several times until ENGINE OIL LIFE appears.
If you see 99% ENGINE OIL LIFE, 99 percent of your
current oil life remains.
The DIC may display a CHANGE ENGINE OIL
message. Always keep a written record of the mileage
and date when you changed your oil. For more
information, see the Maintenance Schedule booklet. If
you see CHANGE ENGINE OIL, it means the oil life is
gone and you should change the oil right away. The
system doesn't check how much oil you have, so you'll
still have to check for that. To see how, see ªEngine Oilº
in the Index.
When the oil is changed, you'll need to reset the system.
See ªOil Life Indicator, How to Resetº in the Index.

contiguous United States. In addition, the system
includes intersection and freeway entrances, route
planning, a programmable address book, points of
interest, a list of restaurants, emergency phone numbers,
and a list of hotels and motels for all of the major cities
on each regional CD. The navigation system can also
communicate with the radio data system to receive

information and emergency alert communications.
For more information on how to use this system, see

With the radio on, insert a cassette tape. The tape will
begin playing as soon as it is inserted. When one side of
your cassette tape is done playing, auto reverse plays the
other side of your cassette tape. Cassette tapes may be
loaded with the radio off but they will not start playing
until the radio is on. If you want to insert a cassette tape
when the ignition is off, first press the eject button.
While the tape is playing, use the VOL, TONE, LEVEL, and
SPEAKER controls just as you do for the radio. Other
controls may have different functions when a tape is inserted.

an arrow to indicate which side of the tape is playing.
If an error occurs while trying to play a cassette tape, it
could be that:

The cassette tape is tight and the cassette player
cannot turn the hubs of the tape. Hold the cassette
tape with the open end down and try turning the right
hub counterclockwise with a pencil. Flip the tape
over and repeat. If the hubs do not turn easily, your
cassette tape may be damaged and should not be
used in the player. Try a new tape to be sure your
player is working properly.

The cassette tape is broken. (Check to see if your
tape is broken. Try a new tape.)
