The DIC can be used to program the following personal choice features available with your vehicle:

The personal choice settings displayed on the DIC are determined by the transmitter used to enter the vehicle. Each remote keyless entry transmitter was pre-programmed to belong to DRIVER 1 or DRIVER 2 and is numbered on the back. After the unlock button on a remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed and the ignition is in RUN, the DIC will display the identified driver and recall the settings previously programmed for that driver. The settings can also be recalled by briefly pressing one of the MEMORY buttons located on the driver's door.

If you unlock the vehicle using your door key instead of your transmitter, the DIC will not change drivers and will recall the information from the last transmitter used or the last driver using the memory seat controls. If this happens and you were not the last driver of the vehicle, simply press your correct driver number on the memory seat controls or press the unlock button on your remote keyless entry transmitter.

Use the following steps for personalization programming instructions.

1. Turn the ignition on and keep the transaxle in PARK (P).
2. Inform the DIC which driver you are by pressing the unlock button on your remote keyless entry transmitter or the appropriate memory seat control.
3. Press and hold the ENG/MET button for five seconds. WELCOME TO BUICK OPTION FEATURE will appear in the display.
4. The first choice to be made will be DRIVER ID 1 or 2. Press the ENG/MET button to toggle between your selections within a display and RESET to choose the current selection and move on to the next personal choice feature.

If you would like to exit the selection mode without moving through each of the personal choice features, simply press a different button on the DIC or turn off the ignition. Whatever personal choices you made will still be retained, even without passing through each of the features. In order for your personal choices to save, you must press RESET after making your selections.

If you happen to move past a selection you would like to make a personal choice for, press the unlock button on your remote keyless entry transmitter or press the appropriate driver number on the seat control. This will return you to the beginning of the option feature programming mode.
