BATTERY VOLTAGE HIGH - 8: This message shows that the electrical charging system is overcharging (more than 16 volts). To avoid being stranded, have the electrical system checked by your dealership. You can reduce the charging overload by using the accessories. Turn on the lamps and radio, set the climate control on AUTO and the fan speed on HI, and turn the rear window defogger on. You can monitor battery voltage on the DIC by pressing the INFORMATION SKIP (SKIP INFO) button. The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts when the engine is running. BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW - 6: This message will appear when the electrical system is charging less than 10 volts or if the battery has been drained. If this message appears immediately after starting, it is possible that the generator can still recharge the battery. The battery should recharge and may take a few hours to do so. Consider using an auxiliary charger to boost the battery after returning home or to a final destination. (Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when recharging the battery.)


If this message appears while driving or after starting your vehicle and stays on, have it checked immediately to determine the cause of this problem. To help the generator recharge the battery quickly, you can reduce the load on the electrical system by turning off the accessories. You can monitor battery voltage on the DIC by pressing the INFORMATION SKIP (SKIP INFO) button. The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts. BRAKE VACUUM PROBLEM -108: The circuit in the brake booster vacuum has shorted or is loose when this message appears. Your vehicle may lose power brakes but you will still have the use of manual brakes. The power brakes will not be affected if the problem is caused by a failed sensor. Have your vehicle serviced immediately at your dealership. CHANGE ENGINE OIL - 82: This means that the life of the engine oil has expired and it should be changed within 200 miles (322 km).

STABILITY SYS ENGAGED - 55 : You may see the STABILITY SYS ENGAGED message on the Driver Information Center. It means that an advanced, computer-controlled system has come on to help your vehicle continue to go in the direction in which you’re steering. This stability enhancement system activates when the computer senses that your vehicle is just starting to spin, as it might if you hit a patch of ice or other slippery spot on the road. When the system is on, you may hear a noise or feel a vibration in the brake pedal. This is normal. When the STABILITY SYS ENGAGED message is on, you should continue to steer in the direction you want to go. The system is designed to help you in bad weather or other difficult driving situations by making the most of whatever road conditions will permit. If the STABILITY SYS ENGAGED message comes on, you’ll know that something has caused your vehicle to start to spin, so you should consider slowing down. STARTING DISABLED REMOVE KEY - 33: This message will appear when the Personalized Automotive Security System (PASS-KeyR II) senses that an improper ignition key is being used to try to start the vehicle. Check the ignition key for damage. If it is

Digital Cluster Climate Control Panel (DeVille and DeVille d’Elegance Only)


yellowblue


Comfort Controls This section tells you how to make your air system work for you. Your Electronic Climate Control (ECC) system uses ozone-friendly R-134a refrigerant. With the ECC system, you can control the heating, cooling and ventilation in your vehicle. Your vehicle also has a flow-through ventilation system described later in this section.


Fan Button The button with the fan symbol adjusts the fan speed. Press the up arrow to increase fan speed and the down arrow to decrease fan speed.


3-2


Driver’s Side Temperature Button 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 his/her 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. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the temperature and counterclockwise 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 (English/metric) button on the Driver Information Center (DIC).


yellowblue


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 AUTO/ECON 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.


3-3


yellowblue


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 warms 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


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. OFF: Press this button 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 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. AUTO/ECON: 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.

Passenger’s Side Temperature Button With this feature, the right front passenger can control the temperature of air for his/her 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 PASS/TEMP button located below the radio. Press the up arrow to increase the temperature and press the down arrow to decrease the climate setting. Pressing the OFF button will turn off the dual-zone function. 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 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 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 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 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 warms 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.

Air Conditioning On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for your vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed for the air conditioner to work its best. With the digital cluster climate control panel, press the AUTO/ECON button to assist in cooling air and in maintaining proper airflow. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable setting by pressing the blue button to cool your vehicle and pressing the red button to warm your vehicle. Press the fan button arrows up or down to adjust the fan speed. If your vehicle has a console climate control panel (which is standard with the analog cluster), press the AC button or the TEMP/AUTO knob to turn the system on. The system will cool and dehumidify the air inside the vehicle. Also while in the AUTO mode, the system will use recirculation as necessary to cool the air. You may also need to adjust the interior temperature and the fan speed as needed. When the air conditioner is on, you may sometimes notice slight changes in your vehicle’s engine speed and power. This is normal because the system is designed to cycle the compressor on and off to keep the desired temperature.


3-10


Heating With the digital cluster climate control panel, press the AUTO/ECON button to direct airflow and to help save fuel. Adjust the temperature, if necessary, by pressing the blue button to decrease temperature and pressing the red button to increase temperature. Also remember to adjust the fan speed by pressing the up or down arrow. If your vehicle has a console climate control panel (which is standard with the analog cluster), press the MODE button to select heater. Adjust the interior temperature to a comfortable level and if the fan speed needs adjusting, press the up or down arrow. With each system, outside air will be brought in and sent through the floor, air conditioning or bi-level outlets (depending on the condition). The heater works best if you keep your windows closed while using it. Defogging and Defrosting On cool, humid days, use defog (digital cluster climate control panel only) to keep the windshield and side windows clear. Use defrost to remove fog or ice from the windshield quickly in extremely humid or cold conditions.


With the digital cluster climate control panel, press the DEFOG button and adjust the fan speed by pressing the fan button up or down. If you use DEFROST, adjust the fan speed the same way. If you select DEFROST from AUTO, the system will control the fan speed. The temperature will also need to be adjusted to your comfort level. Press the blue button to decrease the temperature and the red button to increase the temperature. If your vehicle has a console climate control panel (which is standard with the analog cluster), press the MODE button to select DEFROST. Adjust the fan speed by pressing the fan button up or down. If you select DEFROST from AUTO, the system will control the fan speed. The temperature also needs to be adjusted by turning the TEMP/AUTO knob. Note that recirculation is not available in the defrost or defog modes.


Rear Window Defogger

RDS (1): With RDS off, press the RDS SELECT button, followed by this button to turn RDS on. The RDS display will turn on. You must have RDS on to use the new RDS functions. The RDS display will also turn on if one of the other RDS function buttons has been pressed on. If you are tuned to a station broadcasting RDS information, the station’s call letters and Program Type (PTY) will replace the station’s frequency on the display. After five seconds, the program type will be replaced on the display by the station’s program type name. The program type and program type name may be the same or different. Press BAND to recall the frequency and program type displays. If the radio is tuned to a station that is not broadcasting RDS information, the station’s frequency will remain on the display. While RDS is on, the radio will search for a stronger station in the network when a station gets too weak for listening. Press the RDS SELECT button, followed by this button again to turn RDS off. All RDS functions will be turned off.


Using RDS Mode Your audio system is equipped with Radio Data Systems (RDS). RDS mode gives you many useful new features. When RDS is on, the radio can: D seek only to stations with the types of programs you


want to listen to,


D seek to stations with traffic announcements, D receive announcements concerning local and


national emergencies,


D receive and display messages from radio stations and D search for a stronger station when a station is too


weak for listening.


RDS features are only available for use on FM stations which broadcast RDS information.


RDS SELECT: Press this button to use the


alternate RDS functions (RDS, TA, MSG, PTY and tPTYu) located on the six numbered pushbuttons. RDS SELECT: will appear on the display. The alternate RDS functions are only available when you are using the FM band of your radio.

REGION: You can also use the RDS button to access the region function. When an RDS station becomes weak, this function searches for a stronger station within the same network. A network can span a great distance. One network can have stations spread across a country or continent. Each network breaks down into regions. With regions, local news items like weather and traffic are available to you. When the region function is on, the radio only searches for stations in the same network and region. You can only use the region function when RDS is already on. Press the RDS SELECT button. Then press and hold the RDS button for two seconds. REGION: ON will appear on the display. While REGION: ON appears on the display, press the RDS button again to turn the region function off. REGION: OFF will appear on the display. The region function can be turned on again by pressing the RDS button. TA (2): Press the RDS SELECT button, followed by this button to receive traffic announcements. The radio will turn on the TA display. TP will appear on the display if the tuned station broadcasts traffic announcements. You may also receive traffic announcements from stations in the network related to the tuned station. If the current tuned station does not broadcast traffic announcements, the radio will seek to a


station which does. When the radio finds a station which broadcasts traffic announcements, it will stop. If no station is found, NONE FOUND will appear on the display. When SEEK or SCAN is pressed with the traffic announcement function on, the radio will only stop at stations which broadcast traffic announcements. While a traffic announcement plays, the radio uses a special type of volume called TA volume. To increase TA volume, turn the PWR/VOL knob clockwise. Turn it counterclockwise to decrease volume. TA VOLUME will appear on the display while the volume is being adjusted. When a traffic announcement comes on the tuned radio station or a related network station, you will hear it, even if the volume is muted or a cassette tape or compact disc is playing. If the radio tunes to a related network station for a traffic announcement, it will return to the original station when the announcement is finished. If the cassette tape or compact disc player was being used, the tape or compact disc will stay in the player and resume play at the point where it stopped. Press the RDS SELECT button, followed by this button again to turn TA off.

MSG (3): When RDS is on, if the current station has a message, MSG will appear on the display. Press the RDS SELECT button, followed by this button to see the message. If the whole message does not appear on the display, parts of the message will appear every three seconds until the message is completed. To see the parts of the message faster than every three seconds, press this button again. A new group of words will appear on the display. Once the complete message has been displayed, MSG will disappear from the display until another new MSG is received. PTY (4): This button is used to turn on and off Program Type (PTY) seeks and scans. Press the RDS SELECT button, followed by this button. The PTY display will turn on. RDS SELECT: PTY NEWS will appear on the display for three seconds. (The PTY shown will be the last PTY selected.) Press the RDS SELECT button, followed by this button again to turn the PTY display off. tPTYu (5) (6): With RDS on, press the RDS SELECT button, followed by t or u. The PTY display will turn on, if it is not already on. RDS SELECT: PTY NEWS will appear on the display for three seconds. (The PTY shown will be the last PTY selected.) While this message is displayed, use t and u to move up and down the PTY list. If you pause on a


PTY for three seconds, PRESET PTY: NEWS will appear on the display. While this message is displayed, you can save the PTY in a preset by pressing one of the six numbered pushbuttons until you hear a beep. Allow three seconds for the message to disappear if you do not want to save the PTY in a preset. See “Radio Data Systems (RDS) Program Type (PTY) Selections” in the Index. When the PTY display is on, press SEEK and SCAN to find radio stations of the PTY you want to listen to. The last PTY selected will be used for seek and scan modes. If a station with the selected PTY is not found, NONE FOUND will appear on the display. If both PTY and TA are on, the radio will search for stations with traffic announcements and the selected PTY. PUSHBUTTONS: The six numbered pushbuttons let you return to your favorite Program Types (PTYs). These buttons have factory PTY presets. See “Radio Data Systems (RDS) Program Type (PTY) Selections” in the Index. You can set up to 12 PTYs (six FM1 and six FM2). Just: 1. Turn PTY on. 2. Press BAND to select FM1 or FM2. 3. Tune in an RDS station with the PTY you desire.

HR or MN: Press the RDS SELECT button, followed by one of these buttons to display the time for the current station. STATION TIME IS will be displayed. If a time has not been sent to the radio, NO STATION TIME will be displayed. If you have recently tuned to the station, you may need to wait a minute before the time is available to the radio. To set the clock to the current displayed station time, press and hold HR or MN until TIME UPDATED is displayed. There is a two second delay before the time is updated. RDS mode does not have to be on to use this function, but you must be tuned to an FM RDS station. ALERT: This type of announcement warns of national or local emergencies. You will not be able to turn off alert announcements. Alert announcements will come on even if RDS mode is turned off. ALERT appears on the display when an alert announcement plays. The radio uses TA volume during these announcements. To


increase volume, turn the PWR/VOL knob clockwise. Turn it counterclockwise to decrease volume. TA VOLUME will appear on the display while the volume is being adjusted. When an alert announcement comes on the tuned radio station or a related network station, you will hear it, even if the volume is muted or a cassette tape or compact disc is playing. If the radio tunes to a related network station for an alert announcement, it will return to the original station when the announcement is finished. If the cassette tape or compact disc player is playing, play will stop for the announcement and resume when the announcement is finished.
