2-92 Mirror To Curb In Reverse (If Equipped)
Press the down arrow on the INFO button one or
more times until the MIRROR TO CURB IN REV
prompts appears on the DIC display. This feature will
move the passenger's outside rearview mirror to a curb
view position when the console shifter is placed in
REVERSE (R) and it will return the mirror to the last
known driving position when the console shifter is
moved out of REVERSE (R). To turn this feature on,
press the ON/OFF button until ON is displayed on the
DIC. To turn the feature off, press the ON/OFF button
until OFF is displayed. For more information, see
ªCurb View Assist Mirrorº in the Index.
Driver's Names Set/Recall (If Equipped)
After the FEATURE PROGRAMMING prompt is
displayed on the DIC and the ON/OFF button is pressed,
the prompts DRIVER NO 1 or DRIVER NO 2 will
appear. These prompts correspond to which RKE
transmitter button or memory recall button has been
pressed on the driver's door armrest. You may have
your name and a second driver's name displayed here, replacing the prompts DRIVER NO 1 and DRIVER
NO 2. A dealership can program your vehicle to display
the names you want. The names will appear whenever
the key is turned to ON only if RKE transmitters 1 or 2
are used to enter the vehicle or buttons 1 or 2 on the
driver's door are pressed.
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.
2-93
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.
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.

If your vehicle is sitting out on a hot day and you have it
set on AUTO, the air will first flow out the floor outlets
for a few seconds. This is normal. This is to remove hot
air from the air outlets. As the air is cooled, the airflow
will move through the air conditioning outlets.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system
will start at reduced fan speeds until warm air is
available. The length of reduction depends on the
outside air temperature, engine coolant temperature or
the time since the engine was last started. As the coolant
warms up, the blower fan speed will gradually increase
and air will flow from the heater outlets, with some
airflow to the windshield to prevent fogging under most
normal conditions. If you select defrost mode or a
manual fan speed, this function will be skipped.
If you leave your vehicle, the system will remember
the control setting the next time you start your engine,
except for recirculation and defrost. Each ignition cycle
cancels recirculation. Defrost will change to automatic
operation when the ignition is shut off and then turned
back on.Manual Operation
You may manually adjust the air delivery mode, fan
speed, air input and compressor operation using the
following controls.
DEFROST (FRONT): Press this button to
quickly remove fog or frost from the windshield. This
setting sends most of the airflow to the windshield with
only a small amount to the floor outlets.
RECIRCULATION: Press this button to limit
the amount of fresh air entering your vehicle. This is
helpful when you are trying to cool the air quickly or
limit odors entering your vehicle. In the AUTO mode,
the system will use recirculation as necessary to cool
the air. Pressing the recirculation button will change the
operation to a manual mode and the air will recirculate
non
-stop. Press this button again to turn off the
recirculation feature. If you notice the windows fogging,
press the recirculation button to exit the recirculation
mode. Recirculation is not available in the defrost mode.
3-10 HVAC Steering Wheel Controls
Some heating and cooling
controls can be adjusted at
the steering wheel. Other
touch controls operate some
audio controls. See ªAudio
Steering Wheel Controlsº
in the Index.
TEMP: Press the up arrow on the control to increase the
temperature and the down arrow to decrease temperature.
FAN: Press the up arrow on the control to increase the
fan speed and the down arrow to decrease fan speed.
Climate Control Personalization
(If Equipped)
With this feature, your vehicle will recall the latest
climate control settings as adjusted the last time your
vehicle was operated. These settings include the set
temperatures for driver and passenger, air conditioning,
mode and fan speed. (This feature does not recall
recirculation or defrost modes.) This feature allows two
different drivers to store and recall their own climate
control settings. The settings recalled by the climate
control system are determined by which Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (ª1º or ª2º) was
used to enter the vehicle. The number on the back of the
RKE transmitter corresponds to driver 1 or to driver 2.
After any button is pressed on the RKE transmitter or
the key is placed in the ignition, the climate control
settings will automatically adjust to where they were last
set. The settings can also be changed by briefly pressing
buttons 1 or 2 located on the driver's door.

weather band, which is always set to TALK), preset and
source. (This feature is available on the Bose radio only.)TALK: This setting is used when listening to
non
-musical material such as news, talk shows,
sports broadcasts and books on tape. TALK makes
spoken words sound very clear.
FRONT SEAT: This setting adjusts the audio to
give the front seat occupants the best possible sound
qualities. FRONT SEAT can be used at any time for
any material. Rear seat passengers in the vehicle may
not get the same effect.
