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

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

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.

Vehicle Information Menu Item
Descriptions
The following paragraphs contain a more detailed
description of each menu item:
OUTSIDE TEMP:If you select this item, the
current outside temperature is displayed at the top
of the screen. It will be in either degrees
Fahrenheit (°F) or degrees Celsius (°C) depending
upon whether the system is set for English or
metric units. If you wish to change the units, see
DIC Main Menu on page 228.
MI TRIP A and B (KM TRIP A and B):For
information on the trip odometers, seeTrip
Odometers on page 200.
MILES RANGE (KM RANGE):If you select this
item, the approximate number of remaining
miles or kilometers you can drive without refueling
is displayed. This estimate is based on the
current driving conditions and will change if the
driving conditions change. For example, if you are
driving in traffic making frequent stops, the
display may read one number, but if you enter the
freeway, the number may change even thoughyou still have the same amount of gas in the gas
tank. This is because different driving conditions
produce different fuel economies. Generally,
freeway driving produces better fuel economy than
city driving.
If your vehicle is low on fuel, the Fuel Level Low
message will be displayed. See “Fuel Level
Low” underDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 232for more information.
MPG AVG (L/100 KM AVG):If you select this
item, the approximate average miles per
gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km)
is displayed. This number is calculated based
on the number of mpg (L/100 km) recorded since
the last time this menu item was reset.
To reset the MPG AVG (L/100 KM AVG), press
the CLR button located to the right of the screen.
The display will return to zero.
MPG INST (L/100 KM INST):If you select this
item, the current fuel economy is displayed. This
number reects only the fuel economy that the
vehicle has right now and will change frequently as
driving conditions change. Unlike average fuel
economy, this menu item cannot be reset.
225

GAL FUEL USED (L FUEL USED):If you select
this item, the number of gallons or liters of fuel
used since the last reset of this menu item
is displayed.
To reset GAL FUEL USED (L FUEL USED), press
the CLR button located to the right of the screen.
The display will return to zero.
AVG MPH (AVG KM/H):If you select this item,
the average speed of the vehicle is displayed
in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per
hour (km/h). This average is calculated based on
the various vehicle speeds recorded since the
last reset of this menu item.
To reset AVG MPH (AVG KM/H), press the
CLR button located to the right of the screen.
The display will return to zero.
TIMER:If you select this item, a timing feature is
displayed. The timer functions like a stopwatch
in that you can record the time it takes to
travel from one point to another.
To turn on the timer, press the CLR button located
to the right of the screen once. The display will
read 00:00:00 TIMER ON and begin counting.To turn off the timer, press the CLR button again.
When the timer is off, the display will show the
timer value and TIMER OFF. The timing feature
will stop.
To reset the timer, turn off the timer and then
press and hold the CLR button. The display will
return to zero.
BATTERY VOLTS:If you select this item, the
current battery voltage is displayed. If the voltage
is in the normal range, the display will have
OK after it. For example, the display may read
13.2 BATTERY VOLTS OK.
If there is a problem with the battery charging
system, there are four possible DIC messages that
may be displayed. SeeDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 232for more information.
ENGINE OIL LIFE:If you select this item,
the percentage of remaining oil life is displayed.
If you see 99% ENGINE OIL LIFE on the display,
that means that 99% of the current oil life remains.
226

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.
