Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
This gage shows the
engine coolant
temperature. If the gage
pointer moves into
the shaded area, the
engine is too hot.
That reading means the same thing as the
warning light – the engine coolant is very hot.
SeeEngine Overheating on page 360.
Tire Pressure Light (CTS-V Only)
If the vehicle has the
Tire Pressure Monitor
System, this light
will come on if the
system detects low
tire pressure.
This light will also come on for a bulb check when
the vehicle is started.
SeeTire Pressure Monitor System on page 405
for more information.
For more information on the proper tire pressure,
seeLoading Your Vehicle on page 321. For
more information on your tires, seeTires on
page 392.

Here are a few concerns some owners have had
about the fuel gage. All of these situations are
normal and do not indicate that anything is wrong
with the fuel gage:
At the gas station the gas pump shuts off
before the gage reads full.
The gage may change when you turn, stop
quickly or accelerate quickly.
It takes a little more or less fuel to ll the tank
than the gage indicated. For example, the gage
may have indicated that the tank was half full,
but it actually took a little more or less than half
the tank’s capacity to ll the tank.
Message Center
Message Center (CTS-V)
Your vehicle may have a message center that can
display information relating to powertrain uids, tire
pressures, vehicle dynamics, speedometer and
odometer information, and transmission status.
It also displays warning messages. There are
two different areas where message center
information will be displayed. One display is inside
of the tachometer and the other is inside of the
speedometer.These are the controls
for the message center.
They are located on
the left spoke of
the steering wheel.
The outboard switch (A and B) controls the display
of information inside of the tachometer. The
upper button (C) on the inboard switch controls
the display of information inside of the
speedometer. The lower button (D) on the inboard
switch turns the traction control on or off. See
Traction Control System (TCS) (CTS) on page 293
orTraction Control System (TCS) (CTS-V) on
page 295for more information.

Speedometer Display
This display will show information relating to
vehicle speed, odometer, and transmission status.
The information displayed can be changed by
pressing (C). Pressing this button cycles the
displayed information as follows: digital
speedometer only, odometer only, speedometer
and odometer, or blank display.
When the transmission is shifted into
REVERSE (R), an R will appear in the
upper right corner.
During slow speed maneuvers, the engine’s
computer may command the transmission to
engage the Skip Shift feature. For more
information seeManual Transmission Operation
on page 126.
Tachometer Display
Press (B) to cycle through the following displays:
coolant temperature, oil pressure, oil temperature,
transmission temperature, tire pressure, and
lateral acceleration. Press (A) to cycle through the
displays in reverse order. If you press (A), for
about one second, the display will become blank.
Coolant Temperature
When the coolant
temperature displays
you will see the coolant
temperature symbol.
The temperature displays in degrees Fahrenheit or
Celsius with a graph beneath the reading. If the
graph shows the temperature in the shaded
area all the way on the right, then the coolant
temperature is hot. SeeEngine Overheating
on page 360for more information.
216

Tire Pressure
When the tire pressure is displayed you will see
a vehicle in the display. The numbers in each
corner represent the tire pressure for the
corresponding tire. The tire pressure will be
displayed in psi or kPa.
If any of the tires are blinking on the vehicle in the
display, this means that the tire pressure in that
tire is either high or low. SeeTire Pressure Monitor
System on page 405for more information.
Lateral Acceleration
Lateral acceleration is a measure of how hard you
are taking a corner. For example, when you are
turning right you will feel your body push to the left.
This force is measured in a “g”. This gage will
display from 0.00 g to 1.2 g. The lowest reading
means there is no lateral acceleration. The highest
reading means the force the driver is feeling is
1.2 times the acceleration due to gravity.
When (B) is pressed and held while the Lateral
Acceleration display is being shown, the peak hold
values — both tick marks and numbers — will
be reset to zero.
Warning Messages
The warning messages that are described in the
following text are also shown in the tachometer
display.
While any warning messages are shown,
pressing (A) or (B) will acknowledge the warning
and then display the gage relating to the message.
For instance, if a tire is below the minimum
recommended pressure, the tire pressure warning
message will blink on and off (ve times for a
low tire warning, continuously for a at tire
warning). The driver can go to the tire pressure
display immediately by pressing either button
on the outboard switch.
218

Tire Pressure Warning Message
When you see this
ashing symbol, one or
more of the vehicle’s
tires is either under
or over-inated.
To acknowledge this warning, press either button
on the outboard switch on the left spoke of the
steering wheel. There are three levels of warning
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
Only) on page 208for more information. Also see
Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 405for
more information on tire pressure specications.

Vehicle Information Menu
To access this menu, press the up or down arrow
on the INFO switch located to the right of the
display.
The following items are available when the ignition
is in ON. These items will not be available when
the ignition is in ACCESSORY. The tire pressure
menu items are only available if your vehicle
has the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system:

When the oil life is depleted, the Change Engine
Oil message will appear on the display. See
your dealer for service. In addition to the engine
oil life system monitoring the oil life, additional
maintenance is recommended in the Maintenance
Schedule in this manual. SeeScheduled
Maintenance on page 462andEngine Oil on
page 346for more information.
When you reset the Change Engine Oil message
by clearing it from the display, you still must reset
the engine oil life system separately. For more
information on resetting the engine oil life system,
see “How to Reset the Engine Oil Life System
and the Oil Life Indicator” underEngine Oil
Life System on page 349. If you clear the Change
Engine Oil message from the display, it will not
re-appear.
TRANS FLUID LIFE (Automatic Transmission):
If you select this item, the percentage of
remaining transmission uid life is displayed.
If you see 99% TRANS FLUID LIFE on the display,
that means that 99% of the current transmission
uid life remains.When the transmission uid life is depleted, the
Change Trans Fluid message will appear on
the display. You should change the transmission
uid as soon as possible. Be sure to keep a written
record of the mileage and date of the uid
change so you will have it for future reference.
SeeScheduled Maintenance on page 462
andRecommended Fluids and Lubricants on
page 473for more information.
When you reset the Change Trans Fluid message
by clearing it from the display, you still must
reset the transmission uid life monitor separately.
For more information on resetting the transmission
uid life monitor, seeAutomatic Transmission
Fluid on page 353.
LF TIRE:If you select this item, the driver’s side
front tire pressure will be displayed. If the tire
pressure is low, LOW will be displayed with this
item. The pressure can be displayed in pounds per
square inch (PSI) or kilopascals (KPA). To change
the units, seeDIC Main Menu on page 228
