Driver ID
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 know which driver
you are by using your remote keyless entry transmitter
or by pressing the appropriate memory seat control
button located on the driver's door or by choosing the
driver with the DIC. Each remote keyless entry
transmitter was preprogrammed to belong to DRIVER
#1 or DRIVER #2. Each transmitter may be
programmed differently for each driver.When you press the button with the unlock symbol on
your transmitter, the DIC will automatically change
driver numbers and the vehicle will recall the
personalization 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 your door key instead of
your transmitter, the DIC will not change drivers and
will recall the information from the last transmitter use
or the last driver change using the memory seat controls.
If this happens and you were not the last driver of the
vehicle, simply press your correct driver number on
the memory seat controls or press the button with the
unlock symbol on your transmitter or select the
personalization programming mode and choose the
correct driver number.
Use the following steps for personalization
programming instructions.
1. Turn the ignition on and keep the transaxle
in PARK (P).
2. Press the MODE button to reach personalization
programming display.

RDS Messages
ALERT!: This type of announcement warns of national
or local emergencies. You will not be able to turn off
alert announcements. ALERT! appears on the display
when an alert announcement plays. When an alert
announcement comes on the current radio station, you
will hear it, even if the volume is muted or a cassette
tape is playing. If the cassette tape is playing, play will
stop for the announcement and resume when the
announcement is finished.
INFO (Information): If the current station has a
message, INFO will appear on the display. Press this
button to see the message. If the whole message does
not appear on the display, parts of the message will
appear every three seconds until the message is

group of words will appear on the display. Once the
complete message has been displayed, INFO will
disappear from the display until another new message

traffic announcements, it will stop. If no station is found,
NO TRAFFIC will appear on the display.
When a traffic announcement comes on the current radio
station or a related network station, you will hear it, even
if the volume is muted or a cassette tape is playing. If the
cassette tape player was being used, the tape will stay in
the player and resume play at the point where it stopped.
Playing a Cassette Tape
Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are
up to 30 to 45 minutes long on each side. Tapes longer
than that are so thin they may not work well in this
player. The longer side with the tape visible should face
out. If the ignition is on, but the radio is off, the tape can
be inserted and will begin playing. If you hear nothing
but a garbled sound, the tape may not be in squarely.
Press the eject button to remove the tape and start over.
While the tape is playing, use the BAL, FADE, TONE,
EQ and SEEK controls just as you do for the radio.
The display will show TAPE and an arrow showing
which side of the tape is playing. The tape player
automatically begins playing the other side when it
reaches the end of the tape.
