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.
Electrochromic Outside Rearview Mirror
(If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this feature, 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.
Heated Outside Rearview Mirrors
(If Equipped)
When you operate the rear window defogger, a defogger
also warms the heated outside rearview mirrors to help
clear them of ice, snow and condensation. See ªRear
Window Defoggerº in the Index for more information.

Installing a Garage Door Opener
If you have a garage door opener, the front overhead
compartment can be used to conveniently store
the opener.
If you have the optional HomeLink

Transmitter, please
see ªHomeLink Transmitterº in the Index for
instructions on how to use the system.
To install the garage door opener, first open the
compartment door by pressing the latch forward.
Peel the protective
backing from the
hook and loop patch.Press it firmly to the back of your garage door opener, as
close to the center of the opener as possible.
Center the garage door opener activation button over
the console door button and press the opener firmly
into place.
The pegs inside the
compartment door are used
to make sure the button on
the compartment door will
contact the control button
on the garage door opener.
Add one peg at a time until the garage door opener
operates with the compartment door closed when you
press the button.

2-66
Now, with the compartment
door closed, press the
button again to make sure
the garage door opener
operates properly.
With the garage door opener positioned properly and
the right number of pegs in place, you should only
have to press the button slightly to operate the opener.
Adjust the position of the garage door opener and
add or remove pegs, as needed, until the opener
operates properly.Temperature and Compass Display
The outside air temperature and the compass are
displayed at the front of the overhead console. The
control buttons are located to the left of the display.

2-67
Turn the display on or off by pressing the ON/OFF
button. Display the temperature in either degrees
Fahrenheit (English) or Celsius (metric) by pressing the
US/MET button.
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 when
you turn on the ignition, the word ICE will appear on
the display. 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, when your vehicle is new, the
compass may function erratically. If it does, CAL
(Calibration) will appear on the display. To correct the
problem, drive in a complete 360 degree circle three
times, and the compass will function normally.
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. Record your
zone number.
2. Press and hold both the ON/OFF and the US/MET
buttons. The display will go blank.
3. After five seconds, VAR CAL (Variance Calibration)
will appear on the display. When it does, release
both buttons.
4. Press US/MET until your zone number appears on
the display.
5. Press ON/OFF to enter your zone number. Your
variance is now set.

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

outside of the vehicle. When you put it back,
always be sure that it is securely reattached.

downs in the rear of your
vehicle that allow you to
strap cargo in and keep it
from moving.
