DIC Vehicle Personalization
Your vehicle has personalization capabilities that allow
you to program certain features to a preferred setting
for up to two drivers. The back of the keyless access
transmitters are labelled 1 or 2.
The current driver’s preferences are recalled when one
of the following occurs:
The lock or unlock button on the keyless access
transmitter, programmed as 1 or 2, is pressed.
The appropriate memory button, 1 or 2, located on
the driver’s seat is pressed. SeeMemory Seat,
Mirrors and Steering Wheel on page 1-3for more
information.
A valid keyless access transmitter is detected upon
opening the driver’s door.
If more than one valid keyless access transmitter is
detected upon opening the driver’s door, the driver
preferences for the lowest driver number will be recalled.
If a keyless access transmitter is programmed
as #3 or #4, the personalization system will not
recognize the transmitter. The Driver Information
Center (DIC) will not display a current driver number
and the features that are normally programmed
through the DIC will be set to the default states.Also, if the OPTIONS button is pressed, the DIC does
not display the menus used to set personalizations,
but instead displays OPTIONS UNAVAILABLE for
a few seconds.
Feature Programming
To change feature preferences, make sure the vehicle
is running and in PARK (P). To avoid excessive drain
on the battery, it is recommended that the headlamps
are turned off. Press the OPTIONS button and the
Driver Information Center (DIC) will display the
current driver for a few seconds, then display the
rst personalization menu item. You can now use the
OPTIONS button to change the setting of the displayed
feature. Press the top or bottom of the information
button to scroll up or down the list of features. When
you get to a feature you want to change, press the
OPTIONS button again. When you are nished, press
the RESET button to exit the personalization menu.
If no button is pressed within 45 seconds, the DIC will
exit the personalization menu.
The following are DIC options that will be available in
the personalization menu.

Radio Personalization with Home
and Away Feature
With this feature, you can recall the latest audio system
settings as adjusted the last time your vehicle was
operated. This feature allows two different drivers to
store and recall their own audio system settings.
The settings recalled by the audio system are
determined by which transmitter (1 or 2) was used to
enter the vehicle. The number on the back of the
transmitter corresponds to driver 1 or to driver 2.
The audio system settings will automatically adjust
to where they were last set by the identied driver.
The settings can also be recalled by briey pressing
the MEMORY seat switches 1 or 2 located on the
driver’s door.Your audio system can store HOME and AWAY preset
stations. HOME and AWAY preset stations allow
you to use one set of preset radio settings in the area
where you live, and another set when you go out of
town. That way, you will not need to reprogram
your preset stations every time you travel.
To select HOME and AWAY preset stations, do the
following:
1. With the audio system on, touch the Audio hard key
and turn the audio system off.
2. Touch the HOME or AWAY button from the main
audio screen.
The next time the audio system is turned on, the
system will recall the last active preset selection.
When battery power is removed and later applied, you
will not have to reset your home audio system preset
stations because the audio system remembers them.
However, you will have to reset your away radio preset
stations.
