Your vehicle may have this feature. When on, an automatic dimming mirror automatically dims to the proper level to minimize glare from lights behind you after dark.
The mirror also includes a dual display in the upper right corner of the mirror face. The compass reading and the outside temperature will both appear in the display at the same time.
(On/Off): This is the on/off button.Press the on/off button, located to the far left, briefly to turn the compass/temperature display on or off.
If the display reads CAL, you will need to calibrate the compass. For more information on calibration, see below.
To adjust between Fahrenheit and Celsius do the following:
If an abnormal temperature reading is displayed for an extended period of time, please see your dealer. Under certain circumstances, a delay in updating the temperature is normal.
The automatic dimming mirror function is turned on automatically each time the ignition is started. To operate the automatic dimming mirror, do the following:
The mirror is set in zone eight upon leaving the factory. It will be necessary to adjust the compass to compensate for compass variance if you live outside of zone eight. Under certain circumstances, as during a long distance cross-country trip, it will be necessary to adjust for compass variance. Compass variance is the difference between earth's magnetic north and true geographic north. If not adjusted to account for compass variance, your compass could give false readings.
To adjust for compass variance do the following:
The compass may need calibration if one of the following occurs:
• | After approximately five seconds, the display does not show a compass heading (N for North, for example), there may be a strong magnetic field interfering with the compass. Such interference may be caused by a magnetic antenna mount, magnetic note pad holder or a similar magnetic item. |
• | The compass does not display the correct heading and the compass zone variance is set correctly. |
In order to calibrate, CAL must be displayed in the mirror compass windows. If CAL is not displayed, push the on/off button for approximately 12 seconds or until CAL is displayed.
The compass can be calibrated by driving the vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display reads a direction.
Your vehicle may be equipped with a passenger air bag indicator, on the mirror glass, just above the buttons. For more information, see Passenger Sensing System .
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror as that may cause the liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing.
