the button will illuminate. By pressing and releasing the right button, the
compass display is toggled on or off. When the
compass is on, an illuminated compass reading will
appear in the lower part of the mirror.
Even with the mirror in anti-glare mode, the mirror
surface turns bright if the transmission is shifted into
reverse. This is to ensure good rearward visibility
during reversing.
n Photosensors
The mirror has a photosensor attached on both the
front and back sides. If the glare from the headlights
of vehicles behind you strikes the mirror, these sen- sors detect it and make the reflection surface of the
mirror dimmer to help prevent you from being
blinded. For this reason, use care not to cover the
sensors with stickers, or other similar items. Periodi-
cally wipe the sensors clean using a piece of dry
soft cotton cloth or an applicator.
n Compass calibration
1. For optimum calibration, switch off all nonessen-
tial electrical accessories (rear window defogger,
heater/air conditioning system, spotlight, etc.) and
ensure all doors are shut.
2. Drive to an open, level area away from large me-
tallic objects or structures and make certain the igni-
tion switch is in the “ON” position.
3. Press and hold the left button for 3 seconds then
release, and the compass will enter the calibration
mode. “CAL” and direction will be displayed.
4. Drive slowly in a circle until “CAL” disappears
from the display (about two or three circles). Thecompass is now calibrated.
5. Further calibration may be necessary should out-
side. Influences cause the mirror to read inaccurate-
ly. You will know that this has occurred if your com-
pass begins to read in only limited directions.
Should you encounter this situation, return to step
one of the above procedure and recalibrate the
mirror.
