DIC Vehicle Personalization
If your vehicle has the Navigation system, see the
Navigation system manual for instructions on operating
the DIC for your vehicle.
Your vehicle has personalization that allows you to
program certain features to a preferred setting for up to
two people. The number of programmable features
varies depending upon which model of the vehicle is
purchased.
On all vehicles, features such as climate control
settings, radio preset settings, exterior lighting at unlock,
remote lock and unlock con rmation, and automatic
door locks have already been programmed for
your convenience.
Some vehicles have additional features that can be
programmed including the seat and outside rearview
mirror position.
If your vehicle has the ability to program additional
personalization features, the driver’s preferences are
recalled by pressing the unlock button on the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, 1 or 2, or by pressing
the appropriate memory button, 1 or 2, located on
the driver’s door. Certain features can be programmed
not to recall until the key is placed in the ignition.
To change feature preferences, see “Entering the
Personalization Menu” following.

following procedure:

is turned on, a check mark will appear next to the
