Ignition Positions
A
hB
Your ignition switch is located on the instrument panel.
With the ignition key
in the switch, you can turn the
switch to four positions:
OFF (A): Before you put the key into the ignition switch,
the switch is in OFF. It’s also the only position from which
you can remove your
key. This position locks your
ignition and transaxle. It’s a theft-deterrent feature.
ACC (B): This position lets you use things like the
radio and windshield wipers when the engine is off.
Your steering wheel will unlock. Use
ACC if you must
have your vehicle pushed
or towed. This position lets
you turn off the ignition.
ON (C): This position is where the key returns after you
start the vehicle. With the engine
off, you can use ON to
display some of your warning and indicator lights.
START (D): This position starts your engine.
A warning chime will sound if you open the driver’s
door when the ignition is in OFF, ACC or ON and the
key is in the ignition.
NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in OFF and you can’t
turn it, be sure you are using the correct key; if
so, is it all the way in? Turn the key only with
your hand. Using
a tool to force it could break
the key
or the ignition switch. If none of this
works, then your vehicle needs service.

The mirror includes two map lamps, automatic dimming
function and an eight-point compass display in the
upper corner
of the mirror face. When the compass
display
is turned on, the compass automatically
calibrates as the vehicle
is driven.
The automatic dimming feature is turned on or off by
pressing the
I/O button located on the lower part of the
mirror. Press and hold the
I/O button for up to three
seconds
to turn this feature on or off.
The compass display feature is turned on or off by
pressing the
I/O button for three seconds or more.
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar
material dampened with glass cleaner.
Do not spray
glass cleaner directly on the mirror housing.
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:
1. Find your current location and variance zone number
on the following zone map.

2. Press and hold both map lamp buttons on the bottom
of the mirror, between five and eight seconds, until
the zone number appears in the display.
3. Press the right lamp button to increase the zone
numbers or press the left lamp button to decrease the
zone numbers. After you have selected your zone
number, the display will show a compass direction
after five seconds. (Compass calibration may
be
necessary. See “Compass Calibration” following.)
Compass Calibration
To place the compass into calibration mode, press both
map lamp buttons and hold for
over eight seconds
until
the letter “C” is displayed in the mirror
compass window.
The mirror can be calibrated
in one of two ways:
Drive the vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 kdh) or less
until the display indicates a direction, or
Drive the vehicle on your everyday routine.

Speedometer/Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (kndh). Your
odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven in
either miles (used in the United States) or in kilometers
(used in Canada).
Your vehicle has a tamper-resistant odometer.
If your odometer fails and needs to be replaced, the
entire cluster needs to be replaced. Take your vehicle to
the dealer to have this done. The dealer will have the
new cluster odometer set to the mileage of the old
odometer/cluster if at all possible. But if it can’t, then
it’s set at zero and a label must be put on the driver’s
door to show the old mileage reading when the new
odometer was installed.
SeasodTrip Mode
Press this button to display
It is also pressed to display the trip mileage (trip mode).
The mode switch is located
on the left side of the
instrument panel, next to the TRIP RESET button for
the trip odometer.
