CONTROLS are basically the same as regular Commodores, but supplemented with such features as an auto-dipping internal rear view mirror and variable intermittent road speed-sensitive wipers. The Calais also has automatic headlamps-on control at twilight, plus headlamps auto off after leaving the parked car. The trip computer in the Calais includes average speed, odometer, average economy on a trip, elapsed trip time, trip distance and fuel used on the trip. It also shows distance to empty, remaining fuel, instant economy and time to go. Also standard is an audible and visual speed warning with four adjustable settings. A priority key for two people automatically restores, when unlocking the car, settings for climate control, sound system, trip computer, speed alert, transmission power/economy mode, instrument dimmer, antenna height and headlamps-off time delay. It also restores the preferred driver's seat and exterior mirrors positions. The surround for the auto shifter is finished in wood grain trim.
