20 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
Page 74 of 408
Exterior Mirrors Folding Feature
All exterior mirrors are hinged and may be moved either
forward or rearward to resist damage. The hinges have
three detent positions; full forward, full rearward, and
normal.
Outside Mirrors
To receive maximum benefit, adjust the outside mirrors
to center on the adjacent lane of traffic with a slight
overlap of the view obtained on the inside mirror.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in the right side
convex mirror will look smaller and farther away
than they really are. Relying too much on your right
side mirror could cause you to collide with another
vehicle or other objects. Use your inside mirror when
judging the size or distance of a vehicle seen in the
right side mirror.
Heated Remote Control Mirrors — If Equipped
These mirrors are heated to melt frost or ice. This
feature is activated whenever you turn on the rear
window defrost.

Easy Entry/Exit Seat? (Available with Memory Seat
Only)
When this feature is selected, the driver’s seat moves
rearward 2 inches (5 cm) or to the farthest rearward
position if this distance is less than 2 inches (5 cm) when
the key is removed from the ignition switch so that the
driver can more easily exit the vehicle. The seat will
return to the memorized seat location (if REMOTE LINK
TO MEMORY is set to YES) when the remote keyless
entry transmitter is used to unlock the door. Pressing the
STEP button when in this display will select “Yes” or
“No.”
Compass/Temperature/Trip Computer
This display provides the outside temperature, one of the
eight compass headings to indicate the direction the
vehicle is facing, and vehicle trip information. The com-
pass and temperature display is the normal display.

NOTE:Tires heat up during normal driving conditions.
Heat will cause the tire pressure to increase from 2 to 6
psi (14 to 41 kPa) during normal driving conditions. Refer
to “Tire Inflation Pressures” in Section 5 for additional
information.
Miles to Service
Shows the distance remaining to require service.

interval by pressing and holding the RESET button for 3
seconds.
Blank Screen

the compass/temperature display.
Automatic Compass Calibration
This compass is self-calibrating which eliminates the
need to manually set the compass. When the vehicle is
new, the compass may appear erratic and the CAL
symbol will be displayed.
After completing one 360 degree turn, with the vehicle
traveling less than 5 mph (8 km/h), in an area free from
large metal or metallic objects, the CAL symbol will turn
off and the compass will function normally.
