Mirrors
Electrochromic Day/Night Inside
Rearview Mirror
This mirror automatically changes to reduce glare from
headlamps behind you. A photocell on the back of
the mirror senses when it is becoming dark outside.
Another photocell built into the mirror surface senses
when headlamps are behind you.
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. The mirror will also
return to its clear daytime state when the vehicle is put
into REVERSE (R).
Press the AUTO button at the base of the mirror to turn
on the automatic feature. The button has an indicator
light to show it is on. Press the OFF button to turn the
automatic feature off.
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.

2-44 Power Remote Control Mirror
The control is located on
the driver's door armrest.
Move the upper control to the left or right to choose
the mirror, then press the arrows on the control pad to
adjust the mirror.
Convex Outside Mirror
A convex mirror's surface is curved so you can see
more from the driver's seat.
CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right or left lane,
you could hit a vehicle. Check your inside
mirror or glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
Heated Outside Rearview Mirror
When you operate the rear window defogger, a defogger
also warms the heated driver's and passenger's outside
rearview mirrors to help clear them of ice, snow and
condensation. See ªRear Window Defoggerº in the
Index for more information.
Electrochromic Rearview Outside Mirror
Only the driver's side outside mirror will adjust for the
glare of headlamps behind you. See ªElectrochromic
Day/Night Inside Rearview Mirrorº earlier in this section.

2-45 Power Folding Mirrors
Your vehicle is equipped
with power folding mirrors.
This feature can be helpful
when taking your vehicle
through a car wash or
through narrow spaces.
To fold the mirrors in, press the blank side of the switch
located on the driver's side door panel near the window.
To have the mirrors return to their normal position, press
the side of the switch with the graphic on it. The switch
will stay on in which ever position it is placed.
If at any time your mirrors become disengaged, fold the
mirrors out manually and then use the switch to fold the
mirrors in and out. This will assure that the power fold
unit in your mirrors is properly engaged.

Reading Lamps
Press the button near each
lamp to turn the reading
lamps on and off.
The lamps can also be swiveled to point in the
desired direction.Driver Information System
This system displays the outside air temperature, compass
direction and trip information in the overhead console.
US/MET: The US/MET (United States/metric) button
allows you to switch the display between the English
and metric system.
MODE: The MODE button can be used to toggle
between three modes of operation: OFF, COMP/TEMP
and TRIP.
ProCarManuals.com

2-47
COMP/TEMP: The display provides the outside
temperature and one of eight compass readings to
indicate the direction the vehicle is facing.
Before you turn on the ignition and move the vehicle,
the temperature indicated will be the last outside
temperature recorded with the ignition on. If the
outside temperature is 37
F (3
C) or lower, the
display will toggle between the word ICE and the
current temperature every eight seconds. This is a
warning to the driver that road conditions may be icy,
and that appropriate precautions should be taken.
The compass is self
-calibrating, so it does not need
to be manually set. However, if C (Calibration) is
displayed, the compass will need to be calibrated.
You may also place the compass in a noncalibrated
mode by pressing and holding the MODE and US/MET
buttons simultaneously while in the COMP/TEMP
mode. After about 10 seconds, the compass will display
C and you can release the buttons. Drive the vehicle in
a complete 360
circle three times at a speed of less
than 5 mph (8 km/h), and the compass will function
normally. Once the calibration is complete, the display
will return to a compass reading.
Variance is the difference between magnetic north and
geographic north. In some areas, the difference between
the two can be great enough to cause false compass
readings. If this happens, follow these instructions to
set the variance for your particular location:
1. Find your location on the zone map earlier in this
section. Note your zone number.
2. Press and hold both the MODE and the US/MET
buttons in the COMP/TEMP mode.

2-48
3. After five seconds, the compass will acknowledge
the variation mode by displaying the current zone
number. When it does, release both buttons.
4. Press US/MET until your zone number appears on
the display.
5. Press MODE to enter your zone number. Your
variance is now set and the display will return to the
COMP/TEMP mode.
TRIP: Once in the TRIP mode, pressing the MODE button
will step you through the following TRIP functions:

AVG ECON: The average fuel economy since
the last reset is displayed.

INST ECON: Instantaneous fuel economy for
the last second of driving is displayed.

RANGE: The display indicates the estimated
distance that can be travelled with the remaining fuel
in the tank, based on the fuel economy for the last
few hours of driving.

FUEL USED: The fuel used since the last reset
is displayed.

AVG SPEED: The average speed since the last
reset is displayed.To reset the trip computer, press the MODE and
US/MET buttons simultaneously for at least two
seconds. All functions will be displayed briefly once
the system is reset. Reset can only be performed in the
AVG ECON, FUEL USED and AVG SPEED modes.
All three modes are reset simultaneously.

You may have a convenience net in the rear of your
vehicle to help keep small items, like gloves and light
clothing, in place during sharp turns or quick stops
and starts.
The net is not designed to retain these items during
off
-road use. The net is not for larger, heavier items.
Attach the upper loops to the retainers on either side
of the liftgate opening (the label should be in the upper
passenger side corner, visible from the rear of vehicle).

the floor.

the cargo area of your vehicle.
Grasp the handle and unroll the cover. Latch the posts
into the sockets on the inside trim panel on the
passenger's side of the vehicle to secure it.
CAUTION:
An improperly stored cargo cover could be
thrown about the vehicle during a collision or
sudden maneuver. You or others could be
injured. If you remove the cover, always store
it outside of the vehicle. When you put it back,
always be sure that it is securely reattached.
