Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Entering Personalization Mode
Personalization Mode is accessed via the Options Menu, which can be displayed when the vehicle is stationary or moving slowly.
- If the vehicle is stationary, turn the ignition key on while pressing the MODE button on the trip computer switch. If the MODE button is pressed a 2nd time, the Options Menu disappears and the display reverts back to the previous trip computer function.
- If the vehicle has been started, the System Check completed and the vehicle speed is less than approximately 10 km/h (6 mph), then the Options Menu is displayed for 3 seconds. If the vehicle is driven at more than approximately 10 km/h (6 mph), the Options Menu disappears and the display reverts back to the previous trip computer function.
With the Options Menu displayed, press the trip computer UP or DOWN button to enter personalization Mode.
When the personalization Mode is entered, the display shows the Help screens. Press the MODE button to advance to the next Help screen and then again to advance to the Restore to Factory Settings screen.
If the message is too big for one screen a 2nd (or 3rd) screen with more information appears once the MODE button is pressed, until the menu item is shown.
In the Options Menu there are no fixed icons displayed around the outside of the main dot matrix area. If an icon is activated while in the Options Menu, that icon is displayed for 2 seconds and then disappears. Once the Options Menu is exited or the vehicle speed is greater than approximately 10 km/h (6 mph) when the Options Menu is locked out, the icons reappear.
