Trip Computer
Continual Variable Road Sensing
Suspension (CVRSS) (DeVille
Concours Only)
The CVRSS automatically adjusts the ride of your
vehicle. Automatic ride control is achieved through a
computer controller used to control and monitor the
suspension system. The computer controller receives
inputs from various sensors to determine the proper
system response. If the computer controller detects a
problem within the system, the DIC will display a
SERVICE RIDE CONTROL 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
INFORMATION SKIP (SKIP INFO) button until XX
OIL LIFE LEFT appears. If you see 99% OIL LIFE
LEFT, 99 percent of your current oil life remains.

yellowblue
2-96
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 the Maintenance Schedule booklet. If
you see CHANGE ENGINE OIL, it means that you
have no oil life left and you should change your oil
right away.The system should indicate changing the oil between
3,000 miles (5 000 km) and 7,500 miles (12 500 km).
It may indicate changing the oil before 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) depending on your driving habits. If the
vehicle has been driven 7,500 miles (12 500 km), it
will indicate to change the oil. If you drive in a dusty
area, you should change your oil every 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) or three months (whichever comes first)
unless the display indicates changing it sooner. 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.

Comfort Controls
This section tells you how to make your air system work
for you. Your Electronic Climate Control (ECC) system
uses ozone
-friendly R-134a refrigerant.
With the ECC system, you can control the heating,
cooling and ventilation in your vehicle. Your vehicle
also has a flow
-through ventilation system described
later in this section.
Digital Cluster Climate Control Panel
(DeVille and DeVille d'Elegance Only)
Fan Button
The button with the fan symbol adjusts the fan speed.
Press the up arrow to increase fan speed and the down
arrow to decrease fan speed.

Driver's Side Temperature Button
The red and blue temperature buttons adjust the air
temperature coming through the system. Press the blue
button for a cooler setting or the red button for a
warmer setting.
Passenger's Side Temperature Knob
With this feature, the right front passenger can control
the temperature of air for his/her own zone. The
passenger can select a four degree warmer or cooler
temperature from the driver's setting.
To turn the system on, press the knob on the passenger's
side armrest. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the
temperature and counterclockwise to decrease the
temperature. Press the knob again to turn the system off.
Outside Temperature Display
The outside temperature is always displayed when your
vehicle is running. You can change it from Fahrenheit to
Celsius by pressing the ENG/MET (English/metric)
button on the Driver Information Center (DIC).The outside temperature sensor is located near the front
grille. The sensor can be affected by road or engine heat
during idling, slow driving or when the engine is first
started after a short trip. In order to ensure proper
automatic climate control operation, the outside air
temperature display may not update as quickly as
expected. This is to allow the air surrounding the outside
temperature sensor to be as close to the actual outside
conditions as possible. This is determined by how much
time has elapsed since the vehicle has been turned off and
by vehicle speed.
Mode Controls
The AUTO/ECON button automatically controls the
direction of air delivery for air conditioning and non
-air
conditioning modes.
Automatic Operation
When the system is set for automatic operation, sensors
will control the air delivery mode. Air will come from
the floor, middle or windshield outlets. The fan speed
will vary as the system maintains the selected
temperature setting.
Be careful not to put anything over the solar sensor
located in the middle of the instrument panel near the
windshield. This sensor is used by the automatic system
to regulate temperature.

yellowblue
3-4
To find your comfort zone, start with the 75
F (24
C)
setting and allow about 30 minutes for the system to
regulate. Press the red or blue temperature buttons to
adjust the temperature if necessary. If you choose 60
F
(16
C), the system will remain at that maximum cooling
setting and will not regulate fan speed. If you choose the
temperature of 90
F (32
C), the system will remain at
that maximum heating setting and will not regulate fan
speed. Choosing either maximum setting will not cause
the system to heat or cool any faster.
With the automatic setting, the air conditioning
compressor automatically cycles when needed to cool
the air. In cold weather, when the system senses the need
for heat, the airflow will be directed out the floor
outlets. As the interior temperature approaches a desired
setting, the blower speed will decrease. To maintain
interior comfort, the airflow may move to the instrument
panel air outlets and floor outlets (bi
-level mode). On
bright sunny days in cold weather, the airflow may come
out of the air conditioning outlets (AC mode) to
maintain comfort and prevent stuffiness.If your vehicle is sitting out on a hot day and you have it
set on AUTO, the air will first flow out the floor air
outlets for a few seconds. That is normal. This is to
expel hot air from the air outlets. As the air is cooled,
the airflow will move through the air conditioning
outlets. If you start your vehicle with the fan setting on
HI, it will skip the air conditioning purge.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system will
delay turning on the fan until warm air is available. The
length of delay depends on the outside air temperature,
engine coolant temperature or the time since the engine
was last started. As the coolant warms up, the blower fan
speed will gradually increase and air will flow from the
heater outlets, with some airflow to the windshield to
prevent fogging under most normal conditions.
If you leave your vehicle, the system will remember the
control setting the next time you start your engine,
except for recirculation and defrost. Each ignition cycle
cancels recirculation, whereas, DEFROST will change
to automatic operation when the ignition is shut off and
then turned back on.
