Your vehicle is equipped with personalization that allows 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 number of programmable features varies depending upon which vehicle options are purchased.
On all vehicles, features such as climate control settings, radio and XM™ preset settings, exterior lighting at unlock and remote lock unlock confirmation and language have already been programmed for your convenience. Your vehicle also has an automatic door locking feature that is always on. You cannot turn the automatic door locking feature off. See Programmable Automatic Door Locks .
Some vehicles are equipped with additional features that can be programmed including the seat, steering column, and outside rearview mirror position.
If your vehicle has the base audio system, the following information explains the vehicle personalization on your vehicle.
If your vehicle has the Navigation system, see "Personalization" in the Index of the Navigation System manual for information on vehicle personalization.
If your vehicle is equipped with the ability to program additional personalization features, the driver's preferences are recalled by pressing any button on the keyless access transmitter, 1 or 2, by selecting Driver 1 or 2 on the radio display, or when 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.
Certain features can be programmed not to recall until the ignition is turned off.
To change feature preferences, use the following procedure.
To enter the feature programming mode, use the following procedure:
Some features have submenus that show additional features that can be turned on or off. After entering a submenu, turn the tune/select knob and scroll to the feature you want to change, then press the tune/select knob to turn the feature on or off.
The PERSONAL SETTINGS MENU must be selected with a check mark to program the personalization features. If it is not selected, press the tune/select knob until the check mark appears. If it is selected, the entire list of features will be available to program.
This feature allows you to type in a customized name or greeting that will appear on the display whenever the corresponding keyless access transmitter, 1 or 2, is used or Driver 1 or Driver 2 is selected on the radio display.
If a customized name or greeting is not programmed, the system will show Driver 1 or Driver 2 to correspond with the numbers on the back of the keyless access transmitters. In this case, the customized driver greeting feature is factory shipped as off.
To turn the driver greeting feature on and to program a customized name or greeting, use the following procedure:
You will see a cursor on the screen.
If you make a mistake, press the F5 button, located on the radio, repeatedly to cycle back through all of the characters until you reach the character you wish to change. Then turn the tune/select knob until the letter you want is highlighted and press the tune/select knob to select the new letter.
The name or greeting you programmed is now set. You can either exit the programming mode by following the instructions later in this section or program the next feature available on your vehicle by pressing the F6 (BACK) button, located on the radio, to return to the PERSONAL SETTINGS MENU. You will now see a check mark next to the driver greeting menu item, which means that the driver greeting feature is on and a customized driver greeting is being used.
To turn off the customized driver greeting, and go back to displaying either Driver 1 or Driver 2, use the following procedure:
The only way to correct a customized driver greeting once you have exited the screen to spell the name, is to turn the driver greeting feature off, and then turn it back on.
This feature chirps the horn three times when the driver's door is closed and there is a keyless access transmitter left inside of the vehicle. This will only occur when the vehicle is off.
