Comfort Controls and Radio System Personalization
These features allow both drivers to personalize their
own climate control settings as well as their radio
settings. For more information, see ªClimate Control
Personalizationº and ªRadio Personalizationº in
the Index.
Continuous Variable Road Sensing Suspension
(CVRSS) (If Equipped)
The CVRSS automatically adjusts the ride of your
vehicle. Automatic ride control is achieved through a
computer used to control and monitor the suspension
system. The controller receives input from various
sensors to determine the proper system response. If the
controller detects a problem within the system, the DIC
will display a SERVICE SUSPENSION SYS message.
If this message appears, have your vehicle serviced at
your dealership.Oil Life Indicator
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 INFO
button several times until ENGINE OIL LIFE appears.
If you see 99% ENGINE OIL LIFE, 99 percent of your
current oil life remains.
The 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 the oil life is
gone and you should change the oil right away. The
system doesn't check how much oil you have, so you'll
still have to check for that. To see how, see ªEngine Oilº
in the Index.
When the oil is changed, you'll need to reset the system.
See ªOil Life Indicator, How to Resetº in the Index.

The Night Vision System can be operated if:

The brightness control is in any position except OFF.

It is dark enough outside.

The headlamps or foglamps (if equipped) are on.

The ignition is turned to ON.
The controls are located to
the left of and below the
steering wheel. They are
used to adjust the brightness
and location of the image.
Adjust the IMAGE
control so the image is as
low as possible while
remaining visible.
Slide the dimmer control until the image is no brighter
than necessary to clearly and comfortably see the image.When the system comes on, you'll see the Night Vision
System symbol in the image. After about one minute,
you should see the view of the road ahead. If you don't
see the image after about two minutes (on cold days it
may take longer for the image to display), there may be
something wrong with the system. See your dealer
for service.
CAUTION:
If the Night Vision System image is too bright, or
too high in your field of view, it may take you
more time to see things you need to see when it's
dark outside. Be sure to keep the image dim and
placed low in your field of view.

2-105
In dry, clear weather, the system can see pedestrians,
animals and the direction of the road ahead. In light rain,
light snow or light fog the image may not be as clear
and you may not be able to see the direction of the road
ahead. In more severe weather conditions, the image
may be unclear and not usable.
CAUTION:
Don't use the Night Vision System to replace
your normal view of the road ahead. It can't tell
you how far away things are. It senses only
warmer or colder objects, not all objects. Driving
by staring at the image might cause you not to see
important objects in the road ahead. If you don't
see something in time, you could have a crash in
which you and others could be injured. Use the
Night Vision System only as a driving aid.
It is also important to keep your windshield, the HUD
(Head-Up Display for the Night Vision System) lens and
the camera lens clean. If you do not keep everything
clean, system performance may be affected. The HUD
system is located on the driver's side of the instrument
panel, next to the windshield and the camera is located
behind the center of the front grille.
Use only household glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Wipe
gently and dry thoroughly.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to scratch the HUD or camera
lenses when cleaning. Use only household glass
cleaner and a soft cloth. Wipe gently and dry
thoroughly. Also, do not spray glass cleaner
directly on the HUD lens located inside your
vehicle, because the cleaner could leak inside the
unit and cause damage.
The camera must also be aligned to work correctly. If
the camera needs adjustment, see your dealer. Do not
attempt to adjust the camera yourself.

Navigation (Option)
Navigation Display Controls
The display screen is located in the center on the
instrument panel. There are eight ªhardº buttons and a
touch sensitive screen.Your vehicle may be equipped with a turn by turn
navigation guidance system that includes a CD ROM
map media covering nine regional areas throughout the
contiguous United States. In addition, the system
includes intersection and freeway entrances, route
planning, a programmable address book, points of
interest, a list of restaurants, emergency phone numbers,
and a list of hotels and motels for all of the major cities
on each regional CD. The navigation system can also
communicate with the radio data system to receive
broadcast announcements on traffic, weather
information and emergency alert communications.
For more information on how to use this system, see
ªNavigationº supplement.

Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist
(URPA) (Option)
Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist can help you to
determine how close an object is to your rear bumper
within a given area, making parking easier.
The URPA display is
located inside the vehicle,
above the rear window. It
has three color
-coded lights
that can be seen through the
rearview mirror or by
turning around.
How the System Works
URPA comes on automatically when the shift lever is
moved into REVERSE (R) and the vehicle speed is less
than 3 MPH (5 km/h). When the system comes on, the
three lights on the display will illuminate to let you
know that the system is working. URPA senses how
close your vehicle is to an object. The distance is
determined by the four ultrasonic sensors located on the
rear bumper. When shifting into REVERSE (R) and an
object is detected, one of the following will occur:

2-108
A chime will sound the first time an object is detected.
URPA can detect objects 3 inches (7.6 cm) and wider,
and at least 10 inches (25.4 cm) tall, but it cannot detect
objects that are above trunk level. In order for the rear
sensors to recognize an object, it must be within
operating range.If the URPA system is not functioning properly, the
display will flash red, indicating that there is a problem.
The light will also flash red while driving if a trailer is
attached to your vehicle, or a bicycle or object is on the
back of, or hanging out of your trunk. The light will
continue to flash until the trailer or the object is
removed and your vehicle is driven forward at least
15 mph (25 km/h). It may also flash red if the ultrasonic
sensors are not kept clean. So be sure to keep your rear
bumper free of mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush or the
system may not work properly. If after cleaning the rear
bumper and driving forward at least 15 mph (25 km/h),
the display continues to flash red, see your dealer.
It may also flash red if your vehicle is moving in
REVERSE (R) at a speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h).
Other conditions that may affect system performance
include things like the vibrations from a jackhammer or
the compression of air brakes on a very large truck.
As always, drivers should use care when backing up a
vehicle. Always look behind you, being sure to check
for other vehicles, obstructions and blind spots. For
cleaning instructions, see ªCleaning Your Vehicleº in
the Index.

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 (English/metric)
button on the left side of the instrument panel cluster.
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 Button
Press the MODE button to deliver air through the floor,
middle or windshield outlets. The system will stay in the
selected mode until the MODE button is pressed again.
Press the up or down arrow to cycle through the
available 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.
To find your comfort zone, start with the 75
F (24
C)
setting and allow about 30 minutes for the system to
regulate. Turn the knob 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.

3-5
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 AUTO. 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.
OFF: Press the knob to turn the system off. Fresh
air will continue to flow through the vehicle, and the
system will try to maintain the previously set
temperature. The outside temperature will show on
the display when the system is OFF.AC: Press this button to turn the air conditioning on and
off. The system will cool and dehumidify the air inside
the vehicle. In the AUTO mode the air conditioning
compressor only operates when the system determines it
is needed. The display will show A/C OFF when the air
conditioning is off.
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.
