Vehicle Personalization w/o Voice Recognition

Your vehicle is equipped with personalization that allows you to program certain features to a preferred setting for up to 2 people. 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.

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, refer to Vehicle Personalization - Voice Recognition in this section.

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 or by selecting Driver 1 or 2 on the radio display. Certain features can be programmed not to recall until the ignition is turned off.

You may also get a message saying, "System is checking the disc. Please wait." if the system is not yet ready. To cancel a command or if the system talk back does not match your verbal command, press and hold the talk symbol button. The system will reply, "System will cancel the voice recognition."

If you experience difficulty with the system recognizing a command, try saying it more softly and wait for a few seconds after the beep, or you may just try saying it again. This system is able to recognize commands in 5 different languages. The system will only recognize commands based on the language selected. To use the voice recognition system, the map digital video disk (DVD) must be loaded.
