Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Radio Personalization
With this feature, your vehicle will recall the latest radio
settings as adjusted the last time your vehicle was
operated. This feature allows two different drivers to
store and recall their own radio settings for
AM and FM
presets, last tuned station, volume, tone and audio
source (radio, cassette or CD). The settings recalled by
the radio are determined by which remote keyless entry
transmitter
(“1” or “2”) was used to enter the vehicle.
The number on the back
of the remote keyless entry
transmitter corresponds to driver
1 or to driver 2. After
the unlock button is pressed on the remote keyless entry
transmitter and the ignition is in RUN, the radio settings
will automatically adjust to where they were last set by
the identified driver. The settings can also be changed by
briefly pressing the memory seat buttons
1 or 2 located
on the driver’s door. The new settings will be saved for
the driver.
Continual Variable -- Roac ing
Suspension (CV-RSS) (DeVille Concours Only)
The CV-RSS 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 Driver Information
Center (DIC) will display a SERVICE RIDE
CONTROL message.
If this message appears, have
your vehicle serviced at your dealership.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Oil Life 1 iicator
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 (INFO) button until
XX OIL LIFE
LEFT appears.
If you see 99% OIL LIFE LEFT,
99 percent of your current oil life remains. The Driver Information Center
(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 less than
10 percent of the oil life left and you should consider
changing your engine oil.
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 krn) 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 "Engine Oil" in the Index. '
When the oil is changed, you'll need to reset the system.
To reset, display the Oil Life Indicator by pressing the
INFORMATION
(INFO) button. Then press and hold
the RESET button until the display shows
100% OIL
LIFE LEFT.
