The automatic dimming inside rearview mirror
(optional)The sensitivity level of the mirrors can be adjusted
by moving the switch on the inside rearview mirror
between the OFF and MAX positions. MAX is the
most sensitive setting and bright headlamps far
away will cause the mirrors to automatically darken.
At the setting nearest OFF, bright headlamps willhave to be closer to darken the mirrors. The outside
side mirrors are controlled by the setting on the
inside mirror.
There are two light sensors (photocells) in this
mirror. The sensor that detects rear glare is located
next to the switch. The second light sensor which
determines outside light level is located on the
backside of the mirror case.
One important safety feature is that the mirror
automatically returns to the normal position
whenever the vehicle is placed in R (Reverse)
(when the mirror is in the ON position). This
feature ensures a bright clear view in the mirror
when backing up.
Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror
with harsh abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based
cleaning products.

100The Electronic Compass
(If equipped)The electronic compassThe compass is mounted to the inside rear view
mirror. The display is in the upper right hand
corner of the mirror glass.The display will show one of the following
directions: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, and NW. The
brightness of the compass display is controlled by
the instrument panel dimming switch.
Factors Affecting Compass AccuracySome things which can affect compass accuracy are
large buildings, bridges, power lines, and powerful
antennas. Keep radar detectors and other
magnetically mounted devices as far away from the
compass as possible. Sometimes after-market and
dealer-installed moon roofs can affect the accuracy
of the compass. Using automatic car washes can
cause minor inaccuracies in the compass.
NOTE:Usually, when something affects the
compass readings, the compass will correct itself
after a few days of operating your vehicle in normal
conditions. If the compass is still giving inaccurate
readings after a few days, perform a compass
adjustment.
