Message Center
Message Center (CTS-V)
Your vehicle may have a message center that can
display information relating to powertrain fluids,
tire pressures, vehicle dynamics, speedometer and
odometer information, and transmission status. It also
displays warning messages. There are two different
areas where message center information will be
displayed. One display is inside of the tachometer and
the other is inside of the speedometer.
These are the controls
for the message center.
They are located on the
left spoke of the
steering wheel.
The outboard switch (A and B) controls the display of
information inside of the tachometer. The upper
button (C) on the inboard switch controls the display of
information inside of the speedometer. The lower
button (D) on the inboard switch turns the traction control
on or off. See Traction Control System (TCS) (CTS) on
page 4-9 or Traction Control System (TCS) (CTS-V) on
page 4-10 for more information.
Speedometer Display
This display will show information relating to vehicle
speed, odometer, and transmission status. The
information displayed can be changed by pressing (C).
Pressing this button cycles the displayed information
as follows: digital speedometer only, odometer
only, speedometer and odometer, or blank display.
When the transmission is shifted into REVERSE (R),
an R will appear in the upper right corner.
During slow speed maneuvers, the engine’s computer
may command the transmission to engage the Skip Shift
feature. For more information see Manual Transmission
Operation on page 2-30.
Tachometer Display
Press (B) to cycle through the following displays:
coolant temperature, oil pressure, oil temperature,
transmission temperature, tire pressure, and lateral
acceleration. Press (A) to cycle through the displays in
reverse order. If you press (A) for about one second
the display will become blank.
