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. SeeMemory
Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheel on
page 10for 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.
