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 1-4for 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.
