Electrochromic DaylNight Rearview Mirror with
Compass (Option)
This mirror automatically changes to reduce glare when set in the M
(Mirror) or C/M (Compass/Mirror) positions. One photocell on the back
of the mirror senses when it is becoming dark outside. Another photocell
is built into the mirror surface to sense headlamps behind you.
The mirror will darken gradually to reduce glare. This change may take a
few moments.
The mirror goes to a clear position whenever you shift to REVERSE (R).

mirrors. Move

them of fog or ice.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine In some cold start conditions, the AUTO blower fan speed may be limited
until the engine cooling system warms up. This is normal to prevent
windshield fogging.
It will help if you first clear any ice and snow from the hood and the air
inlet (it’s between the hood and the windshield).
REAR DEFOGGER

turn on the rear
defogger.
With it, your rear window and both outside rearview mirrors are heated.

defogging is desired, simply press the button again.
NOTICE:
Scraping the inside of your rear window could cut and damage
the heating grids. Your warranty would not cover this damage.
And don’t put decals there; you might have
to scrape them off.

Night driving is more dangerous than day driving. One reason is that Some
drivers are likely to be impaired
-- by alcohol or drugs, with night vision
problems, or by fatigue.
Here are some tips on night driving.
Drive defensively.
Don’t drink and drive.
Adjust
your inside rearview mirror to reduce the glare from headlamps
behind you.
Since you can’t see as well,
you may need to slow down and keep more
space between
you and other vehicles.
Slow down, especially
on higher speed roads. Your headlamps can
light up only
so much road ahead.
In remote areas, watch for animals.
If you’re tired, pull off the road in a safe place and rest.

HIGWAY HITNOSIS
Is there actually such a condition as “highway hypnosis”? Or is it just plain
falling asleep at the wheel? Call it highway hypnosis, lack of awareness, or
whatever.
c
There is something about an easy stretch of road with the same scenery,
along with the
hum of the tires on the road, the drone of the engine, and
the rush
of the wind against the vehicle that can make you sleepy. Don’t
let it happen to you! If it does, your vehicle can leave the road in less than
a second, and you could crash and be injured.
What can
you do about highway hypnosis? First, be aware that it can
happen.
Then here are some tips:
0 Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated, with a comfortably cool
interior.
Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road ahead and to the sides. Check
your rearview mirrors
and your instruments frequently.
If you get sleepy, pull off the road into a rest, service, or parking area
and take a nap, get some exercise, or both. For safety, treat drowsiness
on the highway as an emergency.
