Compass Operation
With the ignition on, the compass will show
two character boxes. The mirror will display the
compass heading.
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.
Compass Calibration
The compass may need calibration if one of the
following occurs:
After five seconds, the display does not show a
compass heading (ªNº 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.
The compass does not display the correct heading
and the compass zone variance is set correctly.In order to calibrate, the letters ªCALº must be
displayed in the mirror compass windows. If CAL is not
displayed, push in the COMP button for approximately
eight seconds or until the letter CAL is displayed.
The compass can be calibrated in one of two ways:
Drive the vehicle in circles at five mph (8 km/h) or
less until the display reads a direction, or
drive the vehicle on your everyday routine and after
several turns the compass will become calibrated and
will display a direction.
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 do the following:
1. Use the COMP button located at the bottom of
the mirror.
2. Press and hold the COMP button for three seconds
until a zone number appears in the display.
3. Find your current location and variance zone number
on the following zone map.4. Press the COMP button on the bottom of the mirror
until the new zone number appears in the display.
After you stop pressing the button in, the display
will show a compass direction within a few seconds.
Electric Outside Rearview Mirrors (Heated)
The controls for the mirrors
are located on the driver's
door armrest.
Move the upper control to the left or right to choose the
mirror you want to adjust, then press the arrows located
on the lower control to adjust the mirror in the direction
you want the mirror to go.
The mirrors include ground illumination lamps (puddle
lamps) in the base of the mirror. These lamps will light
the area near the front doors. The lamps are activated
when the remote keyless entry is operated, or the door
handle is pulled. The lamps will time out or turn off
once the engine is started.

When you operate the rear window defogger, it also
warms both outside mirrors to help clear them of fog
or ice. See ªRear Window Defoggerº in the Index for
more information.
The mirrors can also be programmed for
personalization. For more information, see ªMemory
Seat and Mirrorsº and ªSecondary Information Centerº
in the Index.
Curb View Assist Mirror
For this function to work, it must be enabled in the SIC.
See ªSecondary Information Centerº in the Index for
more information.
Your vehicle is equipped with the curb view assist
mirror feature. When the vehicle is shifted into
REVERSE (R) there will be a three second delay
before the curb view assist mirror(s) tilt to a preselected
position. This feature may be useful in allowing you
to view the curb when you are parallel parking.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R) and a
five second delay has occurred, the selected mirrors will
return to the original position.If further adjustment is needed after the mirror is tilted,
the mirror controls may be used.
You can also adjust the angle of tilt for each outside
mirror by doing the following:
1. Place the vehicle in REVERSE (R) and allow
the mirrors to tilt (be sure this feature is enabled
in the SIC).
2. Change the angle of mirror tilt to your liking with
the mirror controls.
The mirrors are now set to the desired position.
This feature can also be disabled/configured through the
SIC. See ªSecondary Information Centerº in the Index
for more information.
Driver's Outside Auto-Dimming
Rearview Mirror
The driver's outside mirror will adjust for the glare of
any headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled
by the on and off settings on the electrochromic mirror.
See ªElectrochromic Day/Night Rearview Mirror with
Compass and Temperatureº earlier in this section.

of the steering wheel on the instrument panel. Return
the mirrors to their normal position by pressing the
button again.
Convex Outside Mirror
Your passenger's side mirror is convex. 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 lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes.
