Adding Equipment to Your
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle
Q:Is there anything I might add to the front
or sides of the vehicle that could keep the
airbags from working properly?
A:Yes. If you add things that change your
vehicle’s frame, bumper system, front
end or side sheet metal or height, they may
keep the airbag system from working properly.
Also, the airbag system may not work
properly if you relocate any of the airbag
sensors. If you have any questions about this,
you should contact Customer Assistance
before you modify your vehicle. The phone
numbers and addresses for Customer
Assistance are in Step Two of the Customer
Satisfaction Procedure in this manual.
SeeCustomer Satisfaction Procedure on
page 482.
Q:Because I have a disability, I have to get
my vehicle modied. How can I nd out
whether this will affect my airbag system?
A:Changing or moving any parts of the
front seats, safety belts, the airbag sensing
and diagnostic module, the inside rearview
mirror, steering wheel, ceiling headliner, ceiling
and pillar garnish trim, or airbag wiring can
affect the operation of the airbag system.
If you have questions, call Customer
Assistance. The phone numbers and
addresses for Customer Assistance are in
Step Two of the Customer Satisfaction
Procedure in this manual. SeeCustomer
Satisfaction Procedure on page 482.

Cruise Control
These controls are
located on the end of
the multifunction lever.
9(Off):This position turns the system off.
R(On):This position turns the system on.
+ (Resume/Accelerate):Push the lever to
this symbol to make the vehicle resume to a
previously set speed or to accelerate when cruise
is already active.
T(Set/Decrease):Press this button to set the
speed or to decrease the speed when cruise
is already active.With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of
about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more without
keeping your foot on the accelerator. This can
really help on long trips. Cruise control does not
work at speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h).
{CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where
you cannot drive safely at a steady speed.
So, do not use your cruise control on
winding roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on
slippery roads. On such roads, fast
changes in tire traction can cause
excessive wheel slip, and you could lose
control. Do not use cruise control on
slippery roads.
176

The rear window defogger will turn off about
10 minutes after the button is pressed, but if the
vehicle’s speed is above 30 mph (48 km/h),
the rear defogger will stay on continuously.
If turned on again, the defogger will only run for
about ve minutes before turning off. The defogger
can also be turned off by pressing the button
again or by turning off the engine.
The heated outside rearview mirrors will heat to
help clear fog or frost from the surface of the mirror
when the rear window defogger button is on.
SeeOutside Heated Mirrors on page 141.
Notice:Do not try to clear frost or other
material from the inside of the front windshield
and rear window with a razor blade or anything
else that is sharp. This may damage the rear
window defogger grid and affect your radio’s
ability to pick up stations clearly. The repairs
wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.Outlet Adjustment
Use the knobs located in the center of each outlet
to change the direction of the airow. Use the
thumbwheels to open or close the outlets.
j(Side Window Defog):Turn the thumbwheel
to this symbol to use the side window defog
setting. The air coming through the outlets will be
directed toward the side windows to clear fog.
k(Open):Turn the thumbwheel to this symbol to
open the outlets completely and allow the
maximum amount of air to enter your vehicle.
A small amount of air will still be directed to the
side windows.
l(Closed):Turn the thumbwheel to this symbol
to close the outlets and minimize the amount
of air entering the vehicle.

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.

Navigation/Radio System
Your vehicle may have a navigation radio system.
The navigation system has built-in features
intended to minimize driver distraction. Technology
alone, no matter how advanced, can never
replace your own judgment. See the Navigation
System manual for some tips to help you
reduce distractions while driving.
Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK®is designed to discourage theft
of your vehicle’s radio. The feature works
automatically by learning a portion of the Vehicle
Identication Number (VIN). If the radio is
moved to a different vehicle, it does not operate.
If the radio is removed from your vehicle, the
original VIN in the radio can be used to trace the
radio back to your vehicle.
With THEFTLOCK
®activated, the radio does not
operate if stolen.

Let us say the road is wet and you are driving
safely. Suddenly, an animal jumps out in front of
you. You slam on the brakes and continue braking.
Here is what happens with ABS:
A computer senses that wheels are slowing down.
If one of the wheels is about to stop rolling, the
computer will separately work the brakes at each
wheel.ABS can change the brake pressure faster than
any driver could. The computer is programmed
to make the most of available tire and road
conditions. This can help you steer around the
obstacle while braking hard.
As you brake, the computer keeps receiving
updates on wheel speed and controls braking
pressure accordingly.
