Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset. Fully
functional daytime running lamps are required on all
vehicles first sold in Canada.
The DRL system will make the turn signal lamps come
on when the following conditions are met:

It is still daylight and the ignition is in ON
or START,

the exterior lamp control is in OFF or AUTO with
the headlamps off, and

an automatic transmission is not in PARK (P) or the
parking brake is not set on a manual transmission.
When DRL are on, only your turn signal lamps will be on.
No other exterior lamps will be on when the DRL are
being used. Your instrument panel won't be lit up either.
When the exterior lamp control is in AUTO and it's dark
enough outside, the DRL will turn off and the low
-beam
headlamps will turn on. When it's bright enough
outside, the low
-beam headlamps will go off, and the
DRL will turn back on.If it's dark enough outside and the exterior lamp control
is in 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
illuminated. 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 button if you have the base
audio system.
To operate your vehicle with the DRL off, turn the
exterior lamp control to 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.

begin speaking. Press the button again to stop recording.
If you prefer, you can press and hold this button while
you record a message. The unit will begin recording
when you press the button and stop recording when you
release the button.
While a message is being recorded, the red light on the
travel note recorder will be lit. The light will go out
when recording has stopped.
(Play): Press this button to play back a recorded
message.
To listen to all the recorded messages, press and hold the
button for at least one second.
To skip a message, press the play button while a
message is playing. This will advance the recorder to the
next recorded message and begin playing it.
The green light on the unit will be lit while the messages
are playing.
(Delete): Press this button to delete recorded
messages.
To delete an individual message, press the delete button
while a message is playing or within five seconds after a
message has ended.
To delete all stored messages on the travel note recorder,
press the record and play buttons at the same time.
If you exceed the space limit, an error tone will sound
when you try to record another message, the light on the
unit will come on, and the message will not be recorded.
To remedy this, delete all unnecessary messages to free
some space for new messages.
If your vehicle has the optional Navigation System,
there is a memo recorder built into the system. See
ªVoice Memoº in the Index of the Navigation

Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and 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).
You may wonder what happens if a 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.
Trip Odometer
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). To access the trip odometer, use one of
the following procedures:
Using the base audio system, do the following:
1. Press the INFO (Information) button located to the
right of the screen to access the DIC menu.
2. Scroll through the menu using the up or down arrows
on the INFO button until you reach Trip Odometer A
or Trip Odometer B.
The selected trip odometer (A or B) will be
displayed at the top of the screen with the
accumulated mileage.3. Repeat the steps to view the other trip odometer.
You can reset the selected trip odometer by pressing
CLR (Clear) located in the center of the INFO button to
the right of the screen. The mileage for that trip
odometer will return to zero. Each trip odometer must
be reset individually.
Using the Navigation audio system, do the following:
1. Press the INFO button located on the left side of the
screen to access the Vehicle Information menu.
2. Scroll through the menu using the TUNE/SEL knob
located to the lower right of the screen until you
reach Trip Odometer A or Trip Odometer B.
3. Select the menu item by pressing the TUNE/SEL
knob once.
The selected trip odometer (A or B) will be
displayed at the top of the screen with the
accumulated mileage.
4. Repeat the steps to view the other trip odometer.
You can reset the selected trip odometer by pressing
multi
-function button next to Reset in the upper right
corner of the screen. The mileage for that trip odometer
will return to zero. Each trip odometer must be reset
individually.

Tachometer
This gage indicates the
engine speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm).
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the shaded area or engine damage may occur.
Engine Speed Limiter
This feature prevents the engine from operating at too
many revolutions per minute (rpm). When the engine's
rpm are too high, the fuel supply to the engine will be
limited. When the rpms return to normal, the fuel supply
will return to normal. This helps prevent damage to
the engine.
Clock
Your vehicle has an analog clock on the instrument
panel cluster. For more information on setting the time,
see ªSetting the Clockº in the Index. If your vehicle
has the optional Navigation/audio system, see
ªAdjusting, Clockº in the Index of the CTS
Entertainment and Navigation System Supplement
supplied with the vehicle.
