Your vehicle may have customization capabilities that allow you to program certain features to one preferred setting. Customization features can only be programmed to one setting on the vehicle and cannot be programmed to a preferred setting for two different drivers.

All of the customization options may not be available on your vehicle. Only the options available will be displayed on the DIC.

The default settings for the customization features were set when your vehicle left the factory, but may have been changed from their default state since then. The customization preferences are automatically recalled.

To change customization preferences, use the following procedure.

If the vehicle does not have a content theft-deterrent system, the next screens with PROGRAMMING FINISHED and DISPLAY OFF will appear.

If the vehicle does have a content theft-deterrent system, the next screen will appear.

THEFT DETERRENT: The vehicle may have a content theft-deterrent system. Once it is turned on, the system will activate if someone tries to enter the vehicle without using the RKE transmitter or the correct key. This screen allows this feature to be turned OFF or ON. If OFF is selected, the content theft-deterrent system will not function. If ON is selected, the content theft-deterrent system will be activated. To program this mode, use the following procedure:

1. Press the set/reset button to scroll to OFF or ON.
2. Press the options button again to advance to the next screen.

KEY CYLINDER DISARM: If the vehicle has a content theft-deterrent system, and ON was selected on the THEFT DETERRENT screen, this screen allows this feature to be turned OFF or ON. This feature determines whether the driver's door key cylinder may be used to disarm the content theft-deterrent system. If OFF is selected, the vehicle's content theft-deterrent system can not be disarmed by unlocking the driver's door using the driver's door key cylinder. Selecting OFF prevents a thief from disarming the vehicle's content theft-deterrent system by attacking the driver's door key cylinder, and may make the vehicle more secure. However, if OFF is selected, unlocking an armed vehicle by using the driver's door key cylinder and opening the door will cause the content theft alarm to activate. For this reason, it is recommended that the vehicle be unlocked using the remote keyless entry system when this feature is set to OFF. If ON is selected, the vehicle's content theft-deterrent system can be disarmed by unlocking the driver's door using the driver's door key cylinder. To program this mode, use the following procedure:

1. Press the set/reset button to scroll to OFF or ON.
2. Press the options button again to advance to the next screen.

LOCK SWITCH ARM: If the vehicle has the content theft-deterrent system and ON was selected on the THEFT DETERRENT screen, this screen allows this feature to be turned OFF or ON. This feature controls whether the vehicle's content theft system can be activated using a door lock switch. If OFF is selected, locking the vehicle using a door lock switch will not cause the vehicle's content theft system to arm. If ON is selected, the content theft-deterrent system can be armed using the driver's door lock switch by pressing the driver's door lock switch while the driver's door is open and the key is not in the ignition, or by pressing the front passenger's door lock switch while the front passenger's door is open and the key is not in the ignition. To program this mode, use the following procedure:

1. Press the set/reset button to scroll to OFF or ON.
2. Press the options button again to advance to the next screen.

REMOTE START: If your vehicle has the remote start feature, this screen allows this feature to be turned OFF or ON. The remote start feature allows you to start the engine from outside of the vehicle using the RKE transmitter. See "Remote Vehicle Start" under Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation for more information. If OFF is selected, the remote start feature will be disabled. If ON is selected, the remote start feature will be enabled. To program this mode, use the following procedure:

1. Press the set/reset button to scroll to OFF or ON.
2. Press the options button again to advance to the next screen.

PROGRAMMING FINISHED will appear on the next screen. This confirms that the personal options programming is complete.
