The DIC is used to program the personal choices of
two drivers. The drivers are recognized as DRIVER 1
and DRIVER 2. You will let the DIC and the vehicle
know which driver you are by using your remote keyless
entry transmitter or by pressing the appropriate memory
seat button located on the driver's door or choosing
the driver with the DIC. Each remote keyless entry
transmitter was pre
-programmed to belong to
DRIVER 1 or DRIVER 2. The personalization
features may be programmed differently for each driver.
When you press the unlock symbol on the transmitter,
the DIC will automatically change driver numbers
and the vehicle will recall the personal choice settings
that were last made to correspond to your transmitter,
including your radio and comfort control settings.
See ªComfort Controls, Personalizationº in the Index.
If you unlock the vehicle using the door key instead
of the transmitter, the personal choice settings will
correspond to the previous driver of the vehicle as
identified by the transmitter, the memory seat control
or the DIC. If this happens and you were not the last
driver of the vehicle, press the correct driver number
on the door panel for the memory seats, press the
unlock symbol on the transmitter or select the
personalization programming mode and choose
the correct driver number.After you have the correct driver number on the display

3-6 Comfort Controls Personalization
(If Equipped)
This feature enables up to two drivers to store and recall
comfort control settings for temperature, air delivery
mode and fan speed.
The memory buttons (1 or 2) for this feature are located
on the driver's door panel and correspond to the
numbers (1 or 2) found on the back of each remote
keyless entry transmitter.
To recall comfort settings, press the unlock button
on the remote keyless entry transmitter and put the
ignition in ACC (Accessory) or ON. The climate
control setting last chosen by the identified
driver (1 or 2) will be recalled.
To program a personal climate control setting, do
the following:
1. Choose a climate control setting for the driver
and if desired, for the passenger. See ªAutomatic
Electronic Climate Controlº and ªPassenger
Temperature Control (Option)º earlier in this section.
2. Adjust the direction of the airflow.3. Locate the memory buttons on the driver's
door panel.
4. Press a memory button (1 or 2) until you hear two
beeps. The beeps confirm that your selection has
been saved and can now be recalled.
Follow these steps each time you want to change the
stored settings. For more information on the memory
feature, see ªMemory Seat and Mirrorsº in the Index.
Air Conditioning
The air conditioner cools and dehumidifies the air inside
of the vehicle.
The air conditioning compressor is enabled in all
modes unless the air conditioning button is not selected
(the indicator light will not be illuminated). However,
the air conditioning compressor will not operate when
the outside temperature is below 34
F (1
C). 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 maintain the desired
temperature and to help with fuel economy.

Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK
is designed to discourage theft of your
radio. It works by using a secret code to disable all radio
functions whenever battery power is removed and the
radio is placed in a different vehicle. This feature
requires no user input to be activated. It is automatically
armed when it is put into the vehicle for the first time.
When the radio is turned off, the blinking red light
indicates that THEFTLOCK is armed.
If THEFTLOCK is activated, your radio will not
operate if stolen. The radio will display LOCKED
and a red LED indicator light will come on above the
THEFTLOCK logo to indicate a locked condition.
If this occurs, the radio will have to be returned to
the dealer.

Understanding Radio Reception
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for
FM, especially at night. The longer range, however, can
cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can pick
up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try
reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing
the sound to come and go.
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage may cause interference with
your vehicle's radio. This interference may occur when
making or receiving phone calls, charging the phone's
battery or simply having the phone on. This interference
is described as an increased level of static while
listening to the radio. If you notice static while listening
to the radio, unplug the cellular phone and turn it off.

But the ability to drive is affected well below a
BAC of 0.10 percent. Research shows that the
driving skills of many people are impaired at a BAC
approaching 0.05 percent, and that the effects are worse
at night. All drivers are impaired at BAC levels above
0.05 percent. Statistics show that the chance of being
in a collision increases sharply for drivers who have a
BAC of 0.05 percent or above. A driver with a BAC
level of 0.06 percent has doubled his or her chance of
having a collision. At a BAC level of 0.10 percent,
the chance of this driver having a collision is 12 times
greater; at a level of 0.15 percent, the chance is
25 times greater!
The body takes about an hour to rid itself of the alcohol
in one drink. No amount of coffee or number of cold
showers will speed that up. ªI'll be carefulº isn't the
right answer. What if there's an emergency, a need to
take sudden action, as when a child darts into the street?
A person with even a moderate BAC might not be able
to react quickly enough to avoid the collision.There's something else about drinking and driving that
many people don't know. Medical research shows that
alcohol in a person's system can make crash injuries
worse, especially injuries to the brain, spinal cord or
heart. This means that when anyone who has been
drinking
-- driver or passenger -- is in a crash, that
person's chance of being killed or permanently disabled
is higher than if the person had not been drinking.
CAUTION:
Drinking and then driving is very dangerous.
Your reflexes, perceptions, attentiveness and
judgment can be affected by even a small amount
of alcohol. You can have a serious
-- or even
fatal
-- collision if you drive after drinking.
Please don't drink and drive or ride with a
driver who has been drinking. Ride home in a
cab; or if you're with a group, designate a driver
who will not drink.

Remember: Anti-lock doesn't change the time you need
to get your foot up to the brake pedal or always decrease
stopping distance. If you get too close to the vehicle in
front of you, you won't have time to apply your brakes
if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave
enough room up ahead to stop, even though you have
anti
-lock brakes.
Using Anti
-Lock
Don't pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down
firmly and let anti
-lock work for you. You may hear
a motor or clicking noise during a hard stop, but this
is normal.
Braking in Emergencies
With anti-lock, you can steer and brake at the same
time. In many emergencies, steering can help you
more than even the very best braking.
Traction Control System (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may have a traction control system that
limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery
road conditions. The system operates only if it senses
that one or both of the front wheels are spinning or
beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the
system works the front brakes and reduces engine
power to limit wheel spin.
United States Canada
This light will come on when your traction control
system is limiting wheel spin. See ªTraction Control
System Active Lightº in the Index.
You may feel or hear the system working, but this
is normal.

If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction
control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. When road
conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may
reengage the cruise control. See ªCruise Controlº in
the Index.
United States Canada
This light should come on briefly when you start the
engine. If it stays on or comes on while you are driving,
there's a problem with your traction control system.
See ªTraction Control System Warning Lightº in the
Index. When this warning light is on, the system will not
limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
The traction control system automatically comes on
whenever you start your vehicle. To limit wheel spin,
especially in slippery road conditions, you should always
leave the system on. But you can turn the traction controlsystem off if you ever need to. You should turn the
system off if your vehicle ever gets stuck in sand, mud or
snow and rocking the vehicle is required. See ªRocking
Your Vehicleº in the Index.
To turn the system off,
press the TC button on
the center console.
The traction control system warning light will come
on and stay on. If the system is limiting wheel spin
when you press the button, the warning light will
come on
-- but the system won't turn off right away.
It will wait until there's no longer a current need to limit
wheel spin.
You can turn the system back on at any time by pressing
the button again. The traction control system warning
light should go off.
