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 ªMaintenance Scheduleº in the Index. 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.

URPA can detect objects 3 inches (7.6 cm) and wider,
and at least 10 inches (25.4 cm) tall, but it cannot detect
objects that are above trunk level. In order for the rear
sensors to recognize an object, it must be within
operating range.
If the URPA system is not functioning properly, the
display will flash red, indicating that there is a problem.
The light will also flash red while driving if a trailer is
attached to your vehicle, or a bicycle or object is on
the back of, or hanging out of your trunk. The light
will continue to flash until the trailer or the object is
removed and your vehicle is driven forward at
least 15 mph (25 km/h).
It may also flash red if the ultrasonic sensors are not
kept clean. So be sure to keep your rear bumper free of
mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush or materials such as paint
or the system may not work properly. If after cleaning
the rear bumper and driving forward at least 15 mph
(25 km/h), the display continues to flash red, see your
dealer. For cleaning instructions, see ªCleaning, Outside
of Your Vehicleº in the Index.It may also flash red if your vehicle is moving in
REVERSE (R) at a speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h).
Other conditions that may affect system performance
include things like the vibrations from a jackhammer or
the compression of air brakes on a very large truck.
As always, drivers should use care when backing up a
vehicle. Always look behind you, being sure to check
for other vehicles, obstructions and blind spots.

Comfort Controls
This section tells you how to make your air system work
for you.
Climate Control Panel
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic climate
control system. This system can automatically adjust
and control temperature, fan speed, air delivery mode,
air conditioning operation and air intake. You can use
the AUTO (automatic) setting or override the automatic
operation by manually adjusting the controls. If your
vehicle is equipped with the climate control
personalization feature, you will be able to recall your
preferred climate control settings using your remote
keyless entry transmitter. See ªClimate Control
Personalizationº in the Index.Manual Operation
To turn the system on, press the knob located on the left
side of the climate control panel.
~MODE!: Press MODE to deliver air through the
floor, instrument panel or windshield outlets. The
system will stay in the selected mode until MODE is
pressed again. The current mode is displayed on the
climate control panel when MODE is pressed. Press the
up or down arrow to cycle through the following modes:
(Upper): This setting directs the airflow
through the instrument panel outlets.
(Bi-Level): This setting directs airflow into
your vehicle in two ways. Cooler air is directed to
the upper portion of your body through the four
instrument panel outlets while warmer air is directed
to the floor.
(Floor/Defrost): This setting directs airflow to
the floor outlets and toward the windshield.
(Floor): This setting directs airflow through
the floor outlets. Some air is diverted to the
windshield to minimize fogging.

Ventilation Tips
Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside of the windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps circulate air throughout
your vehicle.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
Passenger compartment air, both outside air and
recirculated air, is routed through a passenger
compartment filter. The filter removes certain
contaminants from the air, including pollen and dust
particles. Reductions in airflow, which may occur more
quickly in dusty areas, indicate that the filter needs to
be replaced early.
The filter should be replaced as part of routine
scheduled maintenance. See ªPassenger Compartment
Air Filterº in the Index for more information on
replacement. See ªMaintenance Scheduleº in the Index
for replacement intervals.
Your vehicle will not be damaged if you choose not to
replace the filter once the old one is removed.HVAC Steering Wheel Controls
(If Equipped)
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! (Temperature): Press the up arrow on the
control to increase the temperature and the down arrow
to decrease temperature manually.
!
~
(Fan): Press the up arrow on the control to
increase the fan speed and the down arrow to decrease
fan speed manually.
3-11 Climate Control Personalization
(If Equipped)
This feature allows two different drivers to store and
recall their own climate control settings. These settings
include the set temperatures for the driver and front
passenger, the air conditioning, the airflow mode and
the fan speed. (This feature does not recall recirculation
or defrost).
Each driver (1 or 2) has a corresponding number located
on the back of the remote keyless entry transmitter.
Settings recalled by the system can be determined by
which transmitter is used to unlock the vehicle. When
the button with the unlock symbol is pressed, the
settings will be automatically recalled for that driver.
The settings can also be recalled when the key is placed
in the ignition. If the settings are recalled this way, the
system will recall the settings of the last driver to use the
vehicle. If these are not the correct settings for you,
press the button with the unlock symbol on remote
keyless entry transmitter that was used when you saved
your settings.The settings can also be recalled by briefly pressing the
corresponding memory button (1 or 2) located on the
driver's door panel.
Further programming for recalling climate control
personalization settings can be done using the DIC.
You can select or not select the following:
Automatic recall of the climate control settings when
the vehicle is unlocked with the remote keyless entry
transmitter, or
Automatic recall of the climate control settings when
a key is placed in the ignition.
For more programming information, see ªMemory and
Personalization Featuresº in the Index.

Cassette Tape Messages
If an error occurs while trying to play a cassette tape, it
could be for one of the following reasons:
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.)
CLEAN TAPE: If this message appears on the display,
the cassette tape player needs to be cleaned. It will still
play tapes, but you should clean it as soon as possible to
prevent damage to the tapes and player. See ªCare of
Your Cassette Tape Playerº in the Index.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can't be
corrected, contact your dealer.
