DIC Vehicle Personalization
Many features on your vehicle can be personalized.
This means that the operation of these features can be
set to operate differently depending on who is driving
the vehicle. See “Personal Options” later in this section
for the features that you can personalize.
The personalization settings for other features are
automatically updated and saved as the driver adjusts
them. These include the following settings and presets:
.The radio presets, tone, volume, fade, balance,
equalization (EQ) settings and source (radio
or CD)
.The last climate control setting
.The Head-Up Display (HUD) position and dimming
level, if your vehicle has this feature
.The instrument panel cluster dimming level and
last selected DIC display
Separate personalization settings are saved for two
different drivers. One of the keyless access transmitters
is assigned to driver 1. The other is assigned to driver 2.
The back of the keyless access transmitters are
labelled 1 or 2 to correspond to each driver. The current driver's preferences are recalled when one
of the following occurs:
.The lock or unlock button on the keyless access
transmitter, labelled 1 or 2, is pressed.
.The appropriate memory button, 1 or 2, located on
the driver's door is pressed. See
Memory Seat,
Mirrors and Steering Wheel
on page 2‑4for
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 that is not labelled
1 or 2 is used, 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
OPTION button is pressed, the DIC does not display
the menus used to set personalizations, but instead
displays OPTIONS UNAVAILABLE for a few seconds.

programming.
.Receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies.
.Display messages from radio stations.
.Seek to stations with traffic announcements.
