When you press this symbol to lock the doors, the
parking lamps will flash once and the horn will sound.
The park lamps will not flash, however, if the manual
park lamps are left on. (You can also program your
vehicle so the parking lamps will not flash and the horn
will not sound. For more information, see ªLock/Unlock
Confirmationº in the Index.) This also arms the
theft
-deterrent system.
Press this symbol to open the trunk. (The VALET
lockout switch must be off for this feature to work.)
Your transmitter also comes equipped with an instant
panic alarm. To use the alarm, press this symbol. The
horn will sound and the exterior lights will flash for up
to 30 seconds. To stop the instant panic alarm, press the
symbol again or turn the ignition to ON.
The remote keyless entry transmitter can also be used to
recall the memory settings for up to two drivers. For
more information, see ªMemory Seat and Mirrorsº in
the Index.
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 four
transmitters matched to it.
Since all vehicles come with only two transmitters. You
must check with your dealer for information on how to
obtain additional transmitters.

Rainsense
Wipers (If Equipped)
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 levels indicated
on the stalk. The position closest to OFF is the lowest
sensitivity setting. This allows more water to collect on
the windshield between wipes. Turning the stalk away
from you to the other settings increases the sensitivity of
the system and frequency of wipes. A single wipe will
occur each time you turn the wiper stalk to a higher
sensitivity level. An initial wipe occurs when you turn
the ignition on as a reminder that Rainsense is active.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 level. The MIST
and ªwashº cycles operate as normal and are not
affected by the Rainsense function.
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
can be overridden at any time by manually changing the
wiper control to LO or HI speed.
If you ever need to replace the windshield, make sure it
is Rainsense compatible.

Battery Load Management
The battery load management feature is designed to
monitor the vehicle electrical load and determine when
the battery is in a heavy discharge condition. During
times of high electrical loading, the engine may idle at a
higher RPM setting than normal to make sure the battery
charges. High electrical loads may occur when several
of the following are on: headlamps, high beams, fog
lamps, rear window defogger, high blower fan, heated
seats and engine cooling fans.
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 (three minutes
if a new car has 15 miles (24 km) or less). 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 Day/Night Rearview Mirror
with Compass (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may have an electrochromic inside
rearview mirror with a compass.
By pressing the MIRROR side of the button located at
the bottom of the mirror, the mirror automatically
darkens to reduce the glare from headlamps behind you.
The mirror also includes an eight
-point compass display
in the upper right corner of the mirror face. When on,
the compass automatically calibrates as the vehicle
is driven.

2-54
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.
Cleaning Photocells
Use a cotton swab and glass cleaner to clean the
photocells when necessary.
Mirror Operation
The right side of the button, 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 green indicator light will be illuminated when this
feature is active.Time Delay
The automatic mirror has a time delay feature which
prevents unnecessary changing from night back to the
day position. This delay prevents rapid changing of the
mirror as you drive under lights and through traffic.
Compass Operation
Press COMPASS 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 (ªNº for North, for example), there
may be a strong magnetic field 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 ªCº 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
until the display reads a direction, or

Drive the vehicle on your everyday routine.

2-55
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 compass variance.
1. Use the COMPASS button located at the bottom of
the mirror. Press and hold COMPASS until a zone
number appears in the display.
2. Find your current location and variance zone number
on the following zone map.
3. 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 ªCº and will need recalibration
