Vehicle Programming and
Personalization Features
Your vehicle is equipped with personalization that allows
you to program certain features to a preferred setting
for up to two people. The number of programmable
features varies depending upon which model of the
vehicle is purchased. On all vehicles, features such as
climate control settings, radio preset settings, exterior
lighting at unlock, remote lock and unlock confirmation,
and automatic door locks have already been programmed
for your convenience. Some vehicles are equipped with
additional features that can be programmed including the
seat position, steering column position (if equipped)
and outside mirror position. The navigation screen
preferences (if equipped) will remain at the last
set position.
If your vehicle is equipped with the ability to program
additional personalization features, the driver's preferences
are recalled by pressing the unlock button on the remote
keyless entry transmitter or by pressing the appropriate
memory button, 1 or 2, located on the driver's door.
Certain features can be programmed not to recall until the
key is placed in the ignition. To change feature preferences
you must use one of the following procedures.Entering Feature Programming
To enter the feature programming mode,
do the following:
1. Turn the ignition to ON, making sure the
vehicle is in PARK (P).
2. If your vehicle has memory settings, press the
appropriate memory button, 1 or 2, located on
the driver's door panel. The DIC display will
show either 1 or 2 depending on which button
was selected.
3. Press the INFO button until FEATURE
PROGRAMMING appears on the DIC display.
4. Press the ON/OFF button to enter
FEATURE PROGRAMMING.
2-111 Comfort Controls and Radio
System Personalization
These features allow both drivers to personalize their
own climate control settings as well as their radio
settings. For more information, see ªClimate Control
Personalizationº and ªRadio Personalizationº in
the Index.
The outside temperature is always available for display
if it has been selected for a DIC display when your
vehicle is running unless an overriding DIC message
appears. You can change the temperature from
Fahrenheit to Celsius by pressing the ENG/MET
(English/metric) button on the instrument panel.
For more information on the DIC, see ªDIC Messagesº
in the Index.
The electronic sensor can be affected by road or engine
heat during idling, slow driving or when the engine is
first started after a short trip. 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.
Continuous Variable Road Sensing
Suspension (CVRSS) -- STS 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 DIC will display a SERVICE SUSPENSION SYS
message. If this message appears, have your vehicle
serviced at your dealership.

Comfort Controls
This section tells you how to make your air system work
for you.
Climate Control Panel
Your vehicle is equipped with a dual-zone electronic
climate control system. This system can automatically
adjust and control temperature, fan speed, air delivery
mode, air conditioning operation and air intake. You can
use the AUTO (automatic) setting or override the
automatic operation by manually altering the settings.If your vehicle is equipped with the climate control
personalization feature, you will be able to program
your preferred climate control settings and recall them
using your remote keyless entry transmitter. See
ªClimate Control Personalizationº in the Index.
TEMP (Temperature): These knobs adjust the air
temperature coming through the system. Turn a TEMP
knob clockwise to increase the temperature and
counterclockwise to decrease the temperature.
Both TEMP knobs adjust from 60 F (16 C) to
90 F (32 C) independent of each other. It is
recommended that the passenger's setting stay no more
than four degrees warmer or cooler in temperature from
the driver's setting.
3-4
(Recirculation): Press this button to limit the
amount of outside air entering your vehicle. This is
helpful when you are trying to cool the air quickly or
limit odors entering your vehicle. 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.
Recirculation is not available in the defrost mode.
A/C (Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn the
air conditioning compressor on and off. The system will
cool and dehumidify the air inside the vehicle.
When the compressor is off, A/C OFF appears on the
climate control panel display. Press the button again and
the compressor will turn back on.
The A/C OFF feature is not available in the
defrost mode.
AUTO (Automatic): The AUTO button will turn on the
system and automatically adjust the fan speed, air
delivery mode and temperature to your previously
programmed settings.When the system is set for automatic operation, sensors
will control the air delivery mode. Air will come from
the floor ducts, the instrument panel or windshield
outlets. The fan speed will vary as the system maintains
the selected temperature setting.
To find your comfort zone, start with the 75F (24C)
setting and allow about 30 minutes for the system to
regulate. Turn the TEMP knob to adjust the temperature if
necessary. If you choose 60F (16C), the system will
remain at that maximum cooling setting and will not
regulate fan speed. If you choose 90F (32C), 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 cycles on and off 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 ducts. 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 ducts. On bright sunny days in cold weather,
the airflow may come out of the instrument panel outlets
to maintain comfort and prevent stuffiness.
3-10 HVAC Steering Wheel Controls
(If Equipped)
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.
~TEMP !(Temperature): Press the up arrow on
the control to increase the temperature and the down
arrow to decrease temperature.
!~
(Fan): Press the up arrow on the control to increase
the fan speed and the down arrow to decrease fan speed.
Climate Control Personalization
(If Equipped)
This feature allows two different drivers to store and
recall their own climate control settings. These settings
include the set temperatures for the driver and front
passenger, the air conditioning, the mode and the
fan speed. (This feature does not recall recirculation
or defrost).
Each driver (1 or 2) has a corresponding number located
on the back of the remote keyless entry transmitter.
Settings recalled by the system are determined by which
transmitter is used to unlock the vehicle. After the
button with the unlock symbol is pressed, the settings
are automatically recalled.
The settings can also be recalled when the key is placed
in the ignition. If the settings are recalled this way, the
system will recall the settings of the last driver. If these
are not the correct settings, you must press the button
with the unlock symbol on remote keyless entry
transmitter that was used when you saved your settings.
3-11
The settings can be changed by briefly pressing the
corresponding memory button (1 or 2) located on the
driver's door panel.
Further programming for recalling climate control
personalization settings can be done using the DIC.
You can select or not select the following:
Automatic recall of the climate control settings when
the vehicle is unlocked with the remote keyless entry
transmitter, or
Automatic recall of the climate control settings when
a key is placed in the ignition.For programming information, see ªVehicle
Programming and Personalization Featuresº in
the Index.
