Automatic Dimming Mirror Operation

Automatic dimming reduces the glare from the headlamps of the vehicle behind you. The dimming feature comes on and the indicator light illuminates each time the ignition is turned to start.

Temperature Display

To adjust between Fahrenheit and Celsius:

    • Press for approximately four seconds to toggle the display from F (Fahrenheit) to C (Celsius) to OFF. Release the button after the display has toggled to the next state.
        The temperature display will remain in its current state each time the ignition goes through its cycle.
    • At start up, if the vehicle has been off for less than two and a half hours, and the last stored temperature was less than the current temperature, the sensor will increase 1°F every two minutes until the correct temperature is displayed.
    • If the vehicle has been off more than two and a half hours, or the last stored temperature is greater than the current temperature, the current temperature immediately displays.
    • If the temperature is 37°F (3°C) or lower, ICE will flash on the temperature display. This display will flash every two seconds for a period of one minute.

If an abnormal temperature reading is displayed for an extended period of time, see your dealer/retailer. Under certain circumstances, a delay in updating the temperature is normal.

Compass Display

Press to turn the compass display on or off.

For more information on the compass, see Compass after, in this section.

Cleaning the Mirror

Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror. Use a soft towel dampened with water.
