Transmission Temperature When the transmission temperature is displayed you will see the transmission temperature symbol. Lateral Acceleration Lateral acceleration is a measure of how hard you are taking a corner. For example, when you are turning right you will feel your body push to the left. This force is measured in a "g". This gage will display from 0.00 g to 1.2 g. The lowest reading means there is no lateral acceleration. The highest reading means the force the driver is feeling is 1.2 times the acceleration due to gravity. When (B) is pressed and held while the Lateral Acceleration display is being shown, the peak hold values - both tick marks and numbers - will be reset to zero. The temperature will be displayed in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius and there will be a graph at the bottom of the display. If the graph shows the temperature in the shaded area all the way on the right, then the transmission temperature is hot. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-65 and Manual Transmission Fluid on page 5-24 for more information. Warning Messages The warning messages that are described in the following text are also shown in the tachometer display. While any warning messages are shown, pressing (A) or (B) will acknowledge the warning and then display the gage relating to the error message. For instance, if a tire is below the minimum recommended pressure, the tire pressure warning message will blink on and off (5 times for a low tire warning, continuously for a flat tire warning). The driver can go to the tire pressure display immediately by pressing either button on the outboard switch. Tire Pressure When the tire pressure is displayed you will see a vehicle in the display. The numbers in each corner represent the tire pressure for the corresponding tire. The tire pressure will be displayed in psi or kPa. If any of the tires are blinking on the vehicle in the display, this means that the tire pressure in that tire is either high or low. See Tire Pressure Monitor System (CTS-V) on page 5-65 for more information. 3-54
