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.
