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:

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:

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.

Entering the Personal Options Menu

To enter the personal options menu, use the following steps:

1. If you have an automatic transmission vehicle, turn the vehicle on with the shift lever in PARK (P).

If you have a manual transmission vehicle, turn the vehicle on with the parking brake set.

2. Press the OPTION button and you will enter the PERSONAL OPTIONS menu.

The DIC will display the current driver number (1 or 2) for a few seconds and then will display instructions on which buttons to use for setting the personalizations. The RESET button is used to select a setting for a particular feature. The OPTION button is used to move to the next feature.

3. Press the OPTION button while the instruction screen is displayed to enter the first personalization menu item.
4. Once you have cycled through all of the personal options, pressing the OPTION button a final time exits the personal options menu. In addition, if no button is pressed within 45 seconds, the DIC will exit the personal options menu.

Passive Door Locking: This option allows you to select whether the doors automatically lock during normal vehicle exit. When the ignition is turned off and all doors become closed, the vehicle will determine how many keyless access transmitters remain in the vehicle interior. If at least one keyless access transmitter has been removed from the interior of the vehicle, the doors will lock after eight seconds. For example, if there are two keyless access transmitters in the vehicle and one is removed, the other will be locked in. The keyless access transmitter locked in the vehicle can still be used to start the vehicle or unlock the doors, if needed. A person approaching the outside of the locked vehicle without an authorized keyless access transmitter, however, will not be able to open the door, even with a transmitter in the vehicle. You may temporarily disable the passive door locking feature by pressing the door unlock switch for three seconds on an open door. Passive door locking will then remain disabled until a door lock switch is pressed or until the power mode transitions from the off power mode. Press the OPTION button until PASSIVE DOOR LOCKING appears on the display, then press the RESET button to scroll through the following modes:

If you choose OFF, this option will turn off.

If you choose SILENT, the doors will automatically lock eight seconds after you turn the ignition off, remove a keyless access transmitter from the interior of the vehicle, and close both doors.

If you choose HORN, the doors will automatically lock and the horn will chirp eight seconds after you turn the ignition off, remove a keyless access transmitter from the interior of the vehicle, and close both doors.

If you are parking in a quiet area and do not want the horn to sound when the doors lock, press the lock button on the keyless access transmitter immediately after removing it from the interior and closing the doors. This will lock the doors and cancel the passive locking for this ignition cycle.

When the mode you want is selected, press the OPTION button to set your choice and advance to the next personal option.
