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.

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.

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 hisher 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. Rotate the knob to the right to increase
the temperature and turn to the left 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 (EnglisWmetric)
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 AUTOECON 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.

0 RECIRCULATION: Press this button to limit the
amount of fresh
air entering your vehicle. This is helpful
when you
are trying to cool the air quickly or limit
odors entering your vehicle. In the AUTO mode, the
system will use recirculation as necessary to cool the
air. Pressing the recirculation button will change the
operation to a manual mode and the
air will recirculate
non-stop. Press this button again to turn off the
recirculation feature.
If you notice the windows fogging, press the
recirculation button to exit the recirculation mode.

air will continue to flow through the vehicle, and
the system will try to maintain the previously set
temperature. The outside temperature will show in
the display when the system
is off.
DEFOG: Press this button to divide the air between the
windshield and the heater outlets. This is useful when
fog appears on the windshield or side glass due to
sudden rain or snowy conditions.
AUTOECON: Press this button to switch between
AUTO and
ECON. The ECON setting attempts to keep
air at a selected temperature, however, it does not remove
humidity from the
air. Use this setting in cold or cool weather to save fuel. The AUTO setting is used when
it’s warm outside and you need
to cool the air in order to
maintain
a selected temperature and blower speed.
FAN SPEEDS: Press the button with the fan symbol
on it until AUTO is displayed on the screen. At this
setting, the fan speed is automatically controlled. If
it is
cold outside, the blower may not run in the maximum
high fan speed right away. The system checks the
temperature of the engine coolant to assure it is warm
enough to provide heat. When the engine coolant is
warm, the controller allows the fan to gradually increase
.
to a higher speed. This prevents cold air from blowing
into the passenger compartment.
If you want the blower
fan at a high speed, press the up arrow button until you
see HI on the display. If you want the fan speed to be
automatic, but you like the
fan speed to be higher than
the AUTO setting, press the fan symbol button until
HI
AUTO is shown on the display. If you want the blower
fan at a low speed, press the down arrow button until LO
is shown on the display. If you want the fan speed to run
lower than the AUTO setting, press the button until
AUTO
LO is shown on the display.
DEFROST Press this button to quickly remove
fog or frost from the windshield. This setting sends
most of the airflow to the windshield with only a
small amount to the floor outlets.
