To calibrate the compassIf the display reads ªCALº (A), there may be a strong
magnetic field interfering with the compass. In this case,
the compass may need calibration.
If the ªCALº is displayed, drive the vehicle in a circle at
about 5 mph (8km/h) or less until the ªCALº goes off.

required, press and hold the display switch for 12 sec-
onds, or until ªCALº is displayed. With ªCALº dis-
played, drive the vehicle in a circle at less than 5mph
(8km/h) or less until the ªCALº goes off.
Cleaning of the mirror
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.
Electric remote-controlled outside mirrors
The outside rearview mirrors can be adjusted when the
ignition key is in the ªONº or ªACCº position.
Place the lever to the same side as the mirror whose
adjustment is desired:

CRUISE/SPEED CONTROL
Cruise/speed control is an automatic speed control sys-
tem. It lets you keep the same driving speed. Cruise/
speed control can be used at 25mph (40km/h) or more. It
is especially useful for freeway driving. Cruise/speed
control does not work at speeds below about 25mph
(40km/h).

CAUTION!
²For safety reasons, the main switch (A) should be
set to the OFF position when you are not using the
cruise/speed control system.
²Cruise/speed control is not recommended when
driving conditions will not allow you to stay at the
same speed, such as in heavy traffic or on roads
that are winding, icy, snow-covered, wet, or slip-
pery, or on a steep downhill.
²For vehicles with manual transaxles, if you shift to
ªNº (Neutral) in cruise/speed control mode with-
out pressing the clutch first, the engine will run
too fast and might be damaged.
NOTE
²
Cruise/speed control may not be able to keep your
speed on uphills or downhills.
²Your speed may drop on a steep uphill. You must
use the accelerator if you want to stay at your set
speed.
²Your speed may increase to more than the set speed
on a steep downhill. You must use the brake to
control your speed. If your speed increases too
much, turn off the cruise/speed control. (Refer to
the section ªTo deactivateº on page 190.)
To activate
