It is all explained in the owners manual. If you don't have one, they are available on line in a PDF format. If you have an automatic, have the car in park, press the Options button and scroll through the different options until you find the section on what you want..
Hope this helps.

Yes, once you reach the proper spot then you also need to scroll through each letter and or number needed for form the phrase you want. Takes a few (maybe more than a few) minutes to complete.

Read the Manual a few times.
There are a lot of "quirks" to be aware of and plenty of options to personalize some of the operations.
Save yourself from some potential angst.

AFAIK you just overwrite what's there. There might be a "factory reset" option, not sure. Get into the menu and play around.
