MirrorsAutomatic Dimming Inside Rearview
Mirror (If equipped)The electronic day/night mirror will change from
the normal state to the non-glare state when bright
lights (glare) reach the mirror. This mirror functions
at night, and has a limited function at dusk or
dawn. From the non-glare state, the mirror will
return to the normal state after a short delay. The
delay starts when the glare goes away. The delay
prevents excessive changing of the mirror as traffic
moves behind and around the vehicle, or on rolling
hills and curves.The automatic non-glare mirror
To turn the mirror on or off, push the On/Off
switch, located on the bottom of the mirror. The
switch will illuminate in the on position.
The electronic mirror measures the brightness of the
light coming in from the rear of the vehicle. It
automatically makes a correction in the glare state.
The mirror may be turned off in either the normal
or non-glare position.

90There are two light sensors (photocells) in this
mirror. The sensor that detects rear glare is located
inside a window in the center of the mirror. The
second light sensor which determines outside light
level is located on the backside of the mirror case.
The driver's side mirror is activated by these sensors
to prevent glare when traffic is behind or around
the vehicle.
NOTE:Do not block the sensor on the backside of
the mirror (i.e., with a parking tag, car deodorizer,
etc.) since this may impair proper mirror
performance.
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.
Sun VisorsUsing the Sun VisorsTo block the sun, move the main visor down. If
equipped with a secondary visor, move the main
visor to the side and move the secondary visor
down.

WARNING
Whe nprogrammin gyou rHomeLink

92Do not use this HomeLink Transmitter with any
garage door opener that lacks safety ªstopº and
ªreverseº features as required by federal safety
standards, (this includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage
door opener which cannot ªdetectº an object in the
path of a closing door and then automatically ªstopº
and ªreverseº the door, does not meet current
federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener
without these features increases risk of serious
injury or death. For more information on this
matter, call toll-free:1-800-355-3515.ProgrammingIf after repeated attempts you do not successfully
program the HomeLink Universal Transmitter to
learn the signal of the hand-help transmitter, call
toll-free for customer assistance: 1-800-355-3515.1. If you have previously programmed your
HomeLink Transmitter, proceed to step 2.
Otherwise, hold down the two outside buttons
on the HomeLink Transmitter until the red
light begins to flash. Release both buttons.
2. Decide which one of the three channels you
want to program.
3. Hold the end of your hand-held transmitter
against the front surface of the HomeLink
Transmitter so that you can still see the red
light.
