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

the vehicle customization features that were last
programmed to correspond to your transmitter.

your transmitter, the DIC will not change drivers
and your vehicle will recall the information from the last
transmitter used.
