Photosensors
HB6020BA
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 sensors 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 simi-
lar items. Periodically wipe the sensors clean using a piece of dry soft
cotton cloth or an applicator. nCompass calibration
1. For optimum calibration, switch off all nonessential electrical ac-
cessories (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 metallic objects or
structures and make certain the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.
3. Press and hold the left button for 3 seconds then release, and thecompass 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).
5. The compass is now calibrated. Further calibration is not required.
The compass will automatically calibrate from this point forward.
4-14ECON (economy) mode:
When you press the
“AUTO” switch while the system is in the AUTO
mode, it selects the ECON (economy) mode, turning on the“
ECON ” indicator light. In the ECON mode, the compressor runs to
be thrifty with energy consumption. Interior windows tend to fog in this
energy-saving operation. It is therefore recommended that the AUTOmode be used only in high humidity conditions. Manual mode operation:
When the Automatic Climate Control system is operating in the AUTO
mode, pressing the “
”, “”, “MODE”, “A/C” or
“
” switch shifts the operation into the “MANUAL” mode and the
indicator light “AUTO” on the control panel will go out.
When the “
”, “”, “MODE”, “A/C” or “”
switch is pressed, the corresponding function can be controlled inde-
pendently, while automatic control of the other functions are main-tained.
To change the system back to the AUTO mode, press the “AUTO”
switch. n OFF switch
The Automatic Climate Control system turns off (the air conditioner
compressor and fan turn off) when the “OFF” switch is pressed.
When the “OFF” switch is pressed, the outside air introduction mode
(“
” position) is automatically selected.
NOTE Display illumination dimness cancellation (BRIGHT): Setting the light switch to the “p ” or “ a ” position causes the
illuminating icons on the display panel to dim. When travelingwith the lights on in gloomy daylight or in twilight, press the OFFswitch for 1 second or longer if you feel it is too hard to identify
the icons clearly. The brightness comes back to normal.If you wish to dim the icons again, hold down the OFF switchagain or if you can safely do so, turn the light switch OFF andthen place it in the “p ” or “a ” position.
