more information, see ªClimate Control Personalizationº
and ªRadio Personalizationº in the Index.
Continuous Variable Road Sensing
Suspension (CVRSS) (ETC Only)
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 Driver Information Center (DIC) will display a
SERVICE RIDE CONTROL 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 SKIP
INFO button several times until XX OIL LIFE LEFT

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 ªMaintenance
Scheduleº in the Index. If you see CHANGE ENGINE
OIL, it means that you have no oil life left and you
should change your engine oil right away.
When the oil is changed, you'll need to reset the system.
See ªOil Life Indicator, How to Resetº in the Index.

3-5
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 TEMP/AUTO 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.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 of the
floor outlets. As the interior temperature approaches a
desired setting, the fan 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.

3-10 HVAC Steering Wheel Controls
Some heating and cooling
controls can be adjusted at
the steering wheel. Other
touch controls operate some
audio controls. See ªAudio
Steering Wheel Controlsº
in the Index.
(Fan): Press the up arrow lever to increase the fan
speed and the down arrow lever to decrease fan speed.
TEMP: Press the up arrow lever to increase
the temperature and the down arrow lever to
decrease temperature.
Climate Control Personalization (If Equipped)
This feature allows both drivers (driver 1 or 2 depending
on the number on the back of your remote keyless entry
transmitter) to personalize their own climate control
settings. For more information, see ªMemory and
Personalization Featuresº in the Index.
Audio Systems
Your audio system has been designed to operate easily
and give years of listening pleasure. You will get the
most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with it
first. Find out what your audio system can do and how
to operate all of its controls to be sure you're getting the
most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.
