vehicle has the navigation option, the direction the
vehicle is facing will be displayed on the

If it is dark enough outside and the exterior lamp
control is off, a Headlamps Suggested message
will appear on the Driver’s Information Center
(DIC) display. This message informs the driver that
turning on the exterior lamps is recommended
even though the DRL are still on. Turning the
exterior lamp control to AUTO or to the low-beam
headlamp position will turn off the DRL and
cancel the Headlamps Suggested message.
If the parking lamps or the fog lamps were turned
on instead, the DRL will still turn off and the
Headlamps Suggested message will be displayed.
You can turn it off by pressing the OK button if
you have the Navigation audio system or the
CLR (Clear) button if you have the base audio
system.
To drive your vehicle with the DRL off, turn the
exterior lamp control off. Then turn on the fog lamps
or parking lamps, and the DRL will turn off.
The Headlamps Suggested message will appear on
the DIC display. This will work regardless of gear
position and whether or not the parking brake is set.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the
regular headlamp system when you need it.Light Sensor
The light sensor for the DRL and AUTO headlamp
feature is located on top of the instrument panel.
If you cover the sensor, it will prevent it from
sensing light, and the exterior lamps or the
Headlamps Suggested message will appear on
the DIC whenever the ignition is on.

Climate Controls
Dual Climate Control System
With this system you can control the heating,
cooling, and ventilation for the vehicle.
Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic):When this button is pressed
and the temperature is set, the system will
automatically control the inside temperature, the air
delivery mode, the air conditioning compressor, and
the fan speed. AUTO will appear on the display.
1. Press the AUTO button.
2. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable
setting between 70°F (21°C) and 80°F (27°C).Choosing the coldest or warmest temperature
setting will not cause the system to heat or cool
any faster. If you set the system at the warmest
temperature setting, the system will remain in
manual mode at that temperature and it will not
go into automatic mode.
In cold weather, the system will start at
reduced fan speeds to avoid blowing cold air
into your vehicle until warmer air is available.
The system will start out blowing air at
the oor but may change modes automatically
as the vehicle warms up to maintain the
chosen temperature setting. The length of time
needed for warm up will depend on the
outside temperature and the length of time
that has elapsed since your vehicle was
last driven.
3. Wait for the system to regulate. This may take
from 10 to 30 minutes. Then adjust the
temperature, if necessary.
You can switch from English to metric units through
the Driver Information Center (DIC). If you have the
Base audio system, seeDIC Main Menu on
page 228. If you have the Navigation system, see
“Setup Menu” in the Index of the Navigation System
Owner Manual.

Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer lets you see your speed in
either miles per hour (mph) or 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).
If your 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.
While the Driver Shift Control (DSC) feature is
active, the odometer will change to show the gear
range. SeeAutomatic Transmission Operation
on page 122for more information.
Trip Odometers
The trip odometer can record the number of miles
or kilometers traveled for up to two trips.
The trip odometer is part of the Driver Information
Center (DIC), for more information seeStatus
of Vehicle Systems on page 223.
For vehicles that have the navigation system,
see your Navigation System manual for more
information.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (rpm).
Notice:If you operate the engine with the
tachometer in the shaded warning area, your
vehicle could be damaged, and the damages
would not be covered by your warranty. Do not
operate the engine with the tachometer in
the shaded warning area.

One-to-Four Shift Message
(CTS-V Only)
This message indicates
that you can only shift
from FIRST (1) to
FOURTH (4) instead of
FIRST (1) to
SECOND (2).
You must complete the shift into FOURTH (4) to
turn off this feature. This helps you get the
best possible fuel economy.
After shifting to FOURTH (4), you may downshift
to a lower gear if you prefer.
SeeManual Transmission Operation on page 126
for more information.
Notice:Forcing the shift lever into any gear
except FOURTH (4) when the 1 TO 4 SHIFT
message comes on may damage the
transmission. Shift only from FIRST (1) to
FOURTH (4) when the light comes on.
Driver Information Center (DIC)
The DIC gives you the status of many of your
vehicle’s systems. It is also used to display driver
personalization features and warning/status
messages. All messages will appear on the audio
system display.
If your vehicle has the Base audio system, use the
information contained in this manual for
instructions on operating the DIC for your vehicle.
If your vehicle has the Navigation system, see
the Navigation system manual for instructions on
operating the DIC for your vehicle.
