DIC Vehicle Personalization
The DIC can be used to program the following personal
choice features available with your vehicle:
·Automatic Door Locks
·Window Lock Out
·Security Feedback
·Delayed Locking
·Perimeter Lighting

The personal choice settings displayed on the DIC are
determined by the transmitter used to enter the

ignition is in RUN, the DIC will display the identi®ed
driver and recall the settings previously programmed for
that driver. The settings can also be recalled by
brie¯y pressing one of the MEMORY buttons located on
the driver's door.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 used
or the last driver 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 unlock button
on your remote keyless entry transmitter.
Use the following steps for personalization programming
instructions.
1. Turn the ignition on and keep the transaxle in
PARK (P).

unlock button on your remote keyless entry
transmitter or the appropriate memory seat control.

the features. In order for your personal choices to save,
you must press RESET after making your selections.
If you happen to move past a selection you would like to
make a personal choice for, press the unlock button
