Personal Choice Radio Controls (If Equipped) With this feature, your vehicle will recall the latest radio settings as adjusted the last time your vehicle was operated. This feature allows two different drivers to store and recall their own radio settings for AM and FM presets, last tuned station, volume, tone and audio source (radio, cassette or CD). The settings recalled by the radio are determined by which transmitter ("1" or "2") was used to enter the vehicle. The number on the back of the transmitter corresponds to driver 1 or to driver 2. After the unlock button is pressed on the transmitter and the ignition is in RUN, the radio settings will automatically adjust to where they were last set by the identified driver.
