AUTOMATIC DIMMING INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle is equipped with inside and driver side outside rear view
mirrors with an auto-dimming function. The electronic day/night mirrors
will change from the normal state to the non-glare state when bright
lights (glare) reach the mirrors. When the inside rear view mirror detects
bright light from in front of or behind the vehicle, the inside and driver
side outside rear view mirrors will automatically adjust (darken) to
minimize glare.
Press the control to turn the mirror
on or off. The mirror will
automatically return to the normal
state whenever the vehicle is placed
in R (reverse)(when the mirror is
on) to ensure a bright clear view
when backing up.
Do not clean the housing or glass of
any mirror with harsh abrasives, fuel
or other petroleum-based cleaning
products.
On vehicles equipped with a moonroof, the automatic rear view mirror
has two map lamps. Refer toInterior lampsfor more information.

Replacing lost transmitters
Take all your vehicle's transmitters
to your dealer if service is required.
If you purchase additional
transmitters (up to four may be
programmed), perform the following
procedure:
To reprogram the transmitters yourself, place the key in the ignition and
turn from OFF to ON eight times in rapid succession (within 10 seconds)
end in ON. After doors lock/unlock, press any control on all transmitters
(up to four). With each control press of the transmitters, the door should
cycle (lock/unlock) to confirm programming. When completed, turn the
ignition to OFF. The door locks should cycle (lock/unlock) one last time
and the horn will chirp to confirm completion of programming.
All transmitters must be reprogrammed at the same time.
Illuminated entry
The interior lamps illuminate when the remote entry system is used to
unlock the door(s) or sound the personal alarm.
The system automatically turns off after 25 seconds or when the ignition
is turned to the RUN or ACC position. The dome lamp control (if
equipped) mustnotbe set to the OFF position for the illuminated entry
system to operate.
The inside lights will not turn off if:
²they have been turned on with the dimmer control or
²any door is open.
The battery saver will shut off the interior lamps 40 minutes after the
ignition has been turned to the OFF position.
Memory seat/mirrors feature
The remote keyless entry system can also control the memory
seats/mirrors feature. With this feature, the first two programmed
transmitters will recall a different memory position.

AIMING THE HEADLAMPS
Your vehicle is equipped with a Vehicle Headlamp Aim Device (VHAD)
on each headlamp. Each headlamp may be properly aimed in the vertical
(up/down) and the horizontal (left/right) directions using your VHAD
system. The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed at the
assembly plant.
A bubble (vertical indicator) that is not centered between the two red
lines does not necessarily indicate out-of-aim headlamps. If your vehicle
is not positioned on a level surface, the slope will be included in the
vertical indication. Therefore, vertical and horizontal headlamp
adjustment should be performed only when the beam direction appears
to be incorrect.
You will need one 4 mm wrench or socket to make the adjustments.
If the vehicle has been in an accident, the vehicle's front structure
should be properly aligned before aiming the headlamps.
Horizontal aim adjustment
1. Park the vehicle on a level
surface.
2. With the hood open, remove the
protective cover, locate the
horizontal indicator and the
adjusting screw. They are located at
the rear of the headlamp assembly.
