DIC Vehicle Personalization
The DIC is used to program the choices of two drivers.
The drivers are recognized as DRIVER 1 or DRIVER 2 in
the DIC display. You will let the DIC know which driver
you are by using your remote keyless entry transmitter.
Each remote keyless entry transmitter was
pre-programmed to belong to DRIVER 1 or DRIVER 2.

driver’s preferences (lights, doors, horn or activate the
programmed radio stations for driver 1 or driver 2) using
your remote keyless entry transmitter.
