Programming and Relearning
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER PROGRAMMINGEVIC Programming Mode
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) provides the vehicle operator with a user interface, which allows the selection of several optional customer programmable electronic features to suit individual preferences. The EVIC must be placed into its programming mode in order to view or change the programmable features. To enter the EVIC programming mode and to view or change the selected programmable features options, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Depress and release the Menu push button. The first item in the programmable features menu list will appear in the EVIC display.
3. Momentarily depress and release the Menu push button to step through the programmable features list. Each programmable feature and its currently selected option will appear on the EVIC display in the sequence shown in the Programmable Features list that follows.
4. Momentarily depress and release the Step push button to step through the available options for the programmable feature being displayed.
5. The option that last appears in the display with a programmable feature before exiting the programming mode, becomes the newly selected programmable feature option.
6. The EVIC exits the programming mode and returns to its normal operating mode when the C/T push button is depressed or when the end of the programmable features menu list is reached, whichever occurs first.
Programmable Features
- LANGUAGE? - The options include English, Francaise, Deutsch, Italiana, or Espanol. The default is English. All EVIC display nomenclature, including the trip computer functions, warning messages and the programmable features appear in the selected language.
- DISPLAY U.S. OR METRIC? - The options include U.S. and M. The default is U.S. This feature toggles the trip computer temperature, fuel economy and odometer display readings between U.S. and metric units of measure. It also changes the odometer display in the instrument cluster.
- AUTO DOOR LOCKS? - The options include Yes and No. The default is Yes. When Yes is selected, all doors lock automatically when vehicle speed reaches 25 kilometers-per-hour (15 miles-per-hour). If YES is selected, a second programmable feature appears, AUTO UNLOCK ON EXIT? - The options again include Yes and No. The default is No. When Yes is selected, following each Auto Door Lock event all doors will automatically unlock when the driver door is opened, if the vehicle is stopped and the transmission gear selector is in Park or Neutral. The Auto Door Unlock event will only occur once following each Auto Door Lock event.
- REMOTE UNLOCK - The options include Driver Door 1st and All Doors. The default is Driver Door 1st. When Diver Door 1st is selected, only the driver door unlocks when the Unlock button of the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is depressed once. The Unlock button of the RKE transmitter must be depressed twice to unlock all doors. When All Doors is selected, all doors unlock when the Unlock button of the RKE transmitter is depressed once.
- REMOTE LINKED TO MEMORY? - This programmable feature only applies to vehicles equipped with the optional memory I heated system. The options include Yes and No. The default is No. When Yes is selected, the memory system will recall the Driver 1 or Driver 2 memory settings assigned to the RKE transmitter being used to unlock the vehicle. When No is selected, the memory system will only recall memory settings when the Driver 1 or Driver 2 push buttons of the memory switch on the driver side front door trim panel are depressed.
- SOUND HORN ON LOCK? - The options include Yes and No. The default is No. When Yes is selected, a short horn chirp will provide an audible confirmation when the RKE receiver recognizes a valid Lock signal from an RKE transmitter. When No is selected, no horn chirp will occur with the RKE Lock event. This feature may be selected independent of the FLASH LIGHTS WITH LOCKS? programmable feature.
- FLASH LIGHTS WITH LOCKS? - The options include Yes and No. The default is Yes. When Yes is selected, a single flash of the hazard warning lamps will provide an optical confirmation when the RKE receiver recognizes a valid Lock signal from an RKE transmitter, and two flashes of the same lamps will occur when the RKE receiver recognizes a valid Unlock signal from an RKE transmitter. When No is selected, no lamp flash will occur with the RKE Lock or Unlock event. This feature may be selected independent of the SOUND HORN ON LOCK? programmable feature.
- HEADLAMP DELAY = - The options include OFF, 30 Sec, 60 Sec, and 90 Sec. The default is 90 Sec. When a time interval is selected, the headlamps will remain ON for that length of time when the headlamps are turned OFF after the ignition is turned OFF, or if the Auto mode is selected on vehicles with the Auto Headlamps option. When OFF is selected, the headlamp delay feature is disabled.
- HEADLAMPS ON WITH WIPERS? - This programmable feature only applies to vehicles equipped with the optional Auto Headlamps. The options include Yes and No. The default is No. When Yes is selected, the headlamps will turn ON automatically when the windshield wipers are turned ON. The headlamps will turn OFF when the wipers are turned OFF, as long as the headlamp switch is in the Auto or OFF positions. When No is selected, the headlamps will only turn on if manually selected or if the Auto mode is selected and the outside ambient light levels dictate that they should be ON.
- SERVICE INTERVAL = - The options include from 3200 to 12000 kilometers in 800 kilometer increments (2000 to 7500 miles in 500 mile increments). The default is 12000 kilometers (7500 miles). The selected distance becomes the interval at which the Perform Service warning message will be displayed by the EVIC. If a new distance is selected, a second programmable feature appears, RESET SERVICE DISTANCE? - The options include No and Yes. The default is Yes. When Yes is selected, the accumulated distance since the last previous Perform Service warning message will be reset to zero because the service interval has been changed. When No is selected, the distance until the next Perform Service warning message is reduced by the accumulated distance since the last previous message.
- EASY EXIT SEAT - This programmable feature only applies to vehicles equipped with the optional memory I heated system. The options include Yes and No. The default is No. When Yes is selected, the driver seat moves rearward about 55 millimeters (two inches) or to the farthest rearward position, whichever comes first, when the key is removed from the ignition switch lock cylinder. This provides additional ease for exiting from the vehicle. The seat will automatically return to the memory system setting position when the Driver 1 or Driver 2 button of the memory switch on the door panel is depressed or, if the REMOTE LINKED TO MEMORY programmable feature is enabled, when the RKE Unlock button is depressed. While not automatic, an easy entry feature can be obtained by enabling the EASY EXIT SEAT feature and disabling the REMOTE LINKED TO MEMORY feature. Then the EASY EXIT SEAT feature will move the seat back, but the RKE unlock event will not reposition the seat. Thus, the seat remains positioned for easy entry, and the memory switch on the door panel can be depressed after entering the vehicle to return the seat to the desired memory position.
- SIDE VIEW MIRROR TILT - This programmable feature only applies to vehicles equipped with the optional memory I heated system. The options include Enable and Disable. The default is Disable. When Enable is selected, both side view mirrors will move straight downward anytime the MHSM module detects a reverse gear indication from the cluster. This feature is designed to allow the driver to see directly behind the rear wheels before backing up.
- TRAIN REMOTE - When this feature is selected the driver can choose to train up to four remote keyless entry transmitters. The options include Yes and No. The default is No. When Yes is selected and the MENU button is pressed the EVIC will display "PRESS REMOTE LOCK & UNLOCK THEN PRESS UNLOCK", followed by a chime to indicate the training sequence can commence. You have approximately 30 seconds to train up to four transmitters, after each transmitter is trained a chime will sound indicating that the training was successful. If remote link to memory is "YES" , the first transmitter trained will be associated with memory setting 1 and the second transmitter trained will be associated with memory setting 2. Additional transmitters will not be associated with a memory setting. When you have finished training the transmitters, press the menu button again and the EVIC will display "TRAIN DONE "X" TRAINED. If no transmitters are trained within approx. 30 seconds the EVIC will display "TRAIN TIMEOUT".
- RETRAIN TIRE SENSORS - This programmable feature only applies to vehicles equipped with the optional Tire Pressure Monitoring System. The options include Yes and No. The default is No. When Yes is selected, and the menu button is depressed, the EVIC will enter the training mode starting with the left front tire.
