It is spelled out very well in your owners manual starting on page 232:


Personalize Name: This option allows you to
type in a name or greeting that will appear on the
DIC display whenever the corresponding
keyless access transmitter (1 or 2) is used or one
of the memory buttons (1 or 2) located on the
driver’s door is pressed.
Press the OPTION button until PERSONALIZE
NAME appears on the display, then press the
RESET button to scroll through the following
modes:
• YES
• NO (default)
If you choose YES, you can type in a name that
will appear on the DIC display.
To program a name, use the following procedure:
1. Enter the PERSONAL OPTIONS menu
and select the driver number (1 or 2) that you
would like to program by following the
instructions listed previously under “Entering
the Personal Options Menu”.

2. Press the OPTION button until the
PERSONALIZE NAME option appears
on the display.
3. Select YES under PERSONALIZE NAME by
pressing the RESET button.
4. Press the OPTION button and a cursor will
display where you can insert a letter.
5. Press the OPTION button again until the letter
you want is displayed. To scroll through the
letters faster and without a beeping noise,
keep the OPTIONS button depressed. There
are alpha/numeric characters and a blank
space available.
6. Then press the RESET button to select the
letter of your choice and proceed on to the
next space to the right.
If you make a mistake and would like to clear or
replace a letter, perform the following steps:
6.1. Press the RESET button to reach the
letter you would like to change.
6.2. Press the OPTION button to scroll
through the letter choices.
6.3. Press the RESET button to select the
letter and proceed on to the next space
to the right.
7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 until the name or
greeting you want is complete. After the name
or greeting is complete, keep pressing the
RESET button until the display turns blank and
exits out of this option. You can program up
to 20 characters.
If you choose NO, this option will turn off.
If a customized name or greeting is not
programmed, the DIC display will show Driver 1 or
Driver 2 to correspond with either the number
on the back of the keyless access
transmitter (1 or 2) that is being used or to the
memory button (1 or 2) that is pressed.
PERSONALIZE NAME is the last option available
to program in the PERSONAL OPTIONS menu.
Pressing the OPTION button after this setting will
exit you from the PERSONAL OPTIONS menu. The
last item you were in prior to entering PERSONAL
OPTIONS will then display on the DIC.

All the instructions are in the owners manual.

You use the options button on the right side of the instrument pannel. It is simple.
