Check Engine Oil Pressure Message
Your vehicle may have
this feature. When you
see this ashing
symbol, the engine oil
pressure is low.
To acknowledge this warning, press either button
on the outboard switch on the left spoke of the
steering wheel. After you press this button,
the warning will redisplay every 10 minutes until
the pressure returns to the normal operating
range. Oil pressure should be 20 to 80 psi
(140 to 550 kPa). In certain situations such as
long, extended idles on hot days, it could read as
low as 6 psi (40 kPa) and still be considered
normal. It may vary with engine speed, outside
temperature and oil viscosity. The Oil Pressure
Light should also come on. SeeOil Pressure Light
on page 212for more information.
Oil Temperature Warning Message
When you see this
ashing symbol, the
engine oil temperature
is high.
To acknowledge this warning, press either button
on the outboard switch on the left spoke of the
steering wheel. After you press a button, the
warning will come on every 10 minutes until the
temperature returns to the normal operating range.
Driving aggressively or driving on long hills can
cause the engine oil temperature to be higher than
normal. If this warning is displayed during
normal vehicle operation on at roads, your vehicle
may need service. See your dealer for an
inspection. SeeEngine Oil on page 346for more
information.

for this display:
1. High Tire Pressure (above 42 psi (290 kPa))
2. Low Tire Pressure (below 25 psi (170 kPa))
3. Flat Tire (below 5 psi (35 kPa))For conditions 1 and 2, this warning will ash
ve times and the display will then show the tire
pressure gage. For condition 3, this warning
will ash continuously until the driver
acknowledges it. In any of the three cases, the
warning will redisplay every 10 minutes until
the situation is corrected. Conditions 2 and 3 will
also display a warning light elsewhere on the
cluster that will stay on after this warning is
acknowledged. SeeTire Pressure Light (CTS-V

Audio System(s)
Determine which radio your vehicle has and then
read the pages following to familiarize yourself
with its features.
Driving without distraction is a necessity for a
safer driving experience. SeeDefensive Driving on
page 286. By taking a few moments to read this
manual and get familiar with your vehicle’s
audio system, you can use it with less effort, as
well as take advantage of its features. While your
vehicle is parked, set up your audio system by
presetting your favorite radio stations, setting the
tone and adjusting the speakers. Then, when
driving conditions permit, you can tune to
your favorite stations using the presets and
steering wheel controls if the vehicle has them.
{CAUTION:
This system provides you with a far greater
access to audio stations and song listings.
Giving extended attention to entertainment
tasks while driving can cause a crash and
you or others can be injured or killed.
Always keep your eyes on the road and
your mind on the drive — avoid engaging
in extended searching while driving.
Keeping your mind on the drive is important for
safe driving. Here are some ways in which you can
help avoid distraction while driving.
While your vehicle is parked:
Familiarize yourself with all of its controls.
Familiarize yourself with its operation.
Set up your audio system by presetting your
favorite radio stations, setting the tone, and
adjusting the speakers. Then, when driving
conditions permit, you can tune to your favorite
radio stations using the presets and steering
wheel controls if the vehicle has them.

Navigation/Radio System
Your vehicle may have a navigation radio system.
The navigation system has built-in features
intended to minimize driver distraction. Technology
alone, no matter how advanced, can never
replace your own judgment. See the Navigation
System manual for some tips to help you
reduce distractions while driving.
Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK®is designed to discourage theft
of your vehicle’s radio. The feature works
automatically by learning a portion of the Vehicle
Identication Number (VIN). If the radio is
moved to a different vehicle, it does not operate.
If the radio is removed from your vehicle, the
original VIN in the radio can be used to trace the
radio back to your vehicle.
With THEFTLOCK
®activated, the radio does not
operate if stolen.

Some audio functions
can be adjusted at the
steering wheel. They
include the following:
