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 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 warrns 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.

Manual Operation
You may manually adjust the air delivery mode or
fan speed.
H AC: This setting directs airflow through the middle
instrument panel outlets.
A.
A@
BI-LEVEL: This setting directs air into your
vehicle in two ways. Cool air
is directed to the upper
portion of your body through the four instrument panel
outlets while warmed air
is directed to the floor.
7. HEATEIUDEFROSE This setting directs air to
the floor outlets and toward the windshield.
l# HEATER: This setting directs warmed air
through the floor outlets. Some warm air is diverted to
the windshield to minimize fogging.
.
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.
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
LO AUTO is shown on
the display.

HVAC Steering Wheel Controls
Some heating and cooling
controls can be adjusted at
the steering wheel. Other
touch controls operate some
audio controls. See “Audio
Steering Wheel Controls”
later in this section. With
this feature, your vehicle will recall the latest
climate control settings as adjusted the last time your
vehicle was operated. This feature allows two different
drivers to store and recall their own climate control
settings. The settings recalled by the climate control
system 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 or the ignition key is placed
in the ignition
(the ignition must be turned to
LOCK), the climate
control settings will automatically adjust to where they
were last set. The settings can
also be changed by briefly
pressing the memory seat buttons
