confirmation is not operational if any door
is open.
& When you press this symbol to unlock the driver’s
door, the parking lamps on your vehicle will blink twice.

a Press this symbol to open the trunk.
Press this button to open the fuel door.
The
RKE transmitter can also be used to recall the
memory seats for up to two drivers. For more information,
see “Memory Seat and Mirrors”
in the Index.
Resynchronization
Pressing the transmitter buttons numerous times
(approximately
250 times) out of the vehicle’s operating
range may cause the transmitter not
to work. Replacing
the battery and pressing the transmitter buttons out
of
range will also cause the transmitter not to work. If only
the fuel door button works, the transmitter needs to be
resynchronized to the receiver.
Do this by pressing and
holding both the
LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the
transmitter for about eight seconds. You must be within
range of the vehicle.
Once the transmitter has been resynchronized, the horn
will chirp and the exterior lamps will flash once. The
system should now operate properly. See your dealer for
service if your transmitter still doesn’t work properly.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter
is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer. Once your dealer has coded the new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not
unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle can have only
up to
four transmitters matched to it.
All transmitters must be present when replacement or additional transmitters are being programmed.

This moisture sensor is mounted on the passenger’s
interior side
of the windshield behind the rearview
mirror and
is used to automatically operate the
wipers by monitoring the amount
of moisture that is
on the windshield.
The Rainsense system can be activated by turning the
wiper stalk to one of the five sensitivity settings within
the INT
ADJ area. The bottom INT ADJ position is the
lowest sensitivity setting. This
allows more water to
collect on the windshield between wipes. Rotating the
INT
ADJ band up to the other INT ADJ settings
increases the sensitivity
of the system and frequency of
wipes. A single wipe will occur each time you turn the
INT
ADJ to a higher sensitivity setting. An initial wipe
occurs when
you turn the ignition on as a reminder that
Rainsense is active. The windshield wipers also remain
in
a “high park” position, even when the ignition is
turned off.
The Rainsense wipers operate in a delay mode as well
as a continuous low or high speed depending on the
amount of moisture and the sensitivity setting. The
MIST and “wash” cycles operate as normal and are not affected by the Rainsense function.
I NOTICE:
The wipers must be turned off when going
through a car wash
to avoid damage.
It is important to note that the Rainsense wiping feature
(INT
ADJ) can be overridden at any time by manually
changing the wiper control to
LO or HI speed.
NOTICE:
Do not place stickers or other items on the
exterior glass surface directly
in front of the
rainsensor. Doing this could cause the rainsensor
to malfunction.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If the battery continues to discharge, even with the
engine idling at a higher
RPM setting, some electrical
loads will automatically
be reduced. When this occurs,
the
rear window defogger may take slightly longer to
clear the glass, the heated seats may not get as warm as
they usually do and the fan blower may cut back to a
lower speed. For more battery saving information, see “Battery Saver Active Message” in the Index.
Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle’s battery against drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp,
glove box lamp, cigarette lighters or the garage door
opener. When the ignition is turned
off, the power to
these features will automatically
turn off after
10 minutes. Power will be restored for an additional
10 minutes if any door is opened, the trunk is opened or
the courtesy lamp switch is turned on.
Mirrors
Electrochromic Daymight Rearview Mirror
I
Your vehicle has an automatic electrochromic dayhight
rearview mirror.
When this feature is turned on, the mirror automatically
changes to reduce glare from headlamps behind you.
A
photocell on the mirror senses when it is becoming dark
outside. Another photocell built into the mirror face
senses when headlamps are behind you.
2-46

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine At night, when the glare is too high, the mirror will
gradually darken to reduce glare (this change may take a
few seconds). The mirror will return to its clear daytime
state when the glare is reduced.
Mirror Operation
To turn on the automatic dimming feature, press AUTO.
To turn off automatic dimming, press OFF. The
indicator light will be illuminated when this feature
is active.
Time Delay
The automatic mirror has a time delay feature which
prevents unnecessary switching from the night back to
the day position. This delay prevents rapid changing of
the mirror as you drive under lights and through traffic.
Cleaning the Photocells
Use a cotton swab and glass cleaner to clean the
photocells when necessary.
Electrochromic Daymight Rearview Mirror with Compass
(If Equipped)
Your vehicle may have an electrochromic inside
rearview mirror with
a compass.
L
1
When set in the MIRROR position, this mirror
automatically changes to reduce glare from headlamps
behind you.
The mirror also includes an eight-point
Cti~pa"ss display
in the upper right corner of the mirror face. When on,
the compass automatically calibrates as the vehicle
is driven.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
Mirror Operation
The right side of the switch located at the bottom of the
mirror turns the electrochromic mirror on and
off. To
turn on the automatic dimming feature, press MIRROR.
To turn off automatic dimming, press MIRROR again.
The indicator light will be illuminated when this feature
is active.
Time Delay
The automatic mirror has a time delay feature which
prevents unnecessary switching from the night back
to
the day position. This delay prevents rapid changing of
the mirror as you drive under lights and through traffic.
Cleaning the Photocells
Use a cotton swab and glass cleaner to clean the
photocells when necessary.
Compass Operation
Press the COMPASS switch once to turn the compass on
or
off.
When the ignition and the compass feature are on, the
compass will show two character boxes for
approximately two seconds. After two seconds, the
mirror will display the compass heading.
Compass Calibration
If, after two 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. If the letter
“C” should ever
appear in the compass window, the mirror
needs calibration.
The mirror can be calibrated in one of two ways:
Drive the vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less
Drive the vehicle on your everyday routine. until the display reads a direction, or

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Compass Variance
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 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:
3. Find your current location and variance zone number
on the following zone map.
1. Use the COMPASS button located at the bottom of
the
mirror.
2. Press and hold the COMPASS button until a zone
number appears in the display.
4. Press the COMPASS button on the bottom of the
mirror until the new zone number appears in the
display. After
you stop pressing the button, the
display will show a “C” and will need recalibration.
