the clear state to the non-glare state when bright lights (glare) reach the
mirror. When the mirror detects bright light from behind, it will
automatically adjust (darken) to minimize glare at night only.
The mirror will automatically return to the clear state whenever the
vehicle is placed in R (Reverse)(when the mirror is on).
Do not block the sensor on the backside of the mirror since this may
impair proper mirror performance. (Examples: no parking stickers or
hanging tags.)
Ensure the mirror is pulled down low enough to prevent visibility
interference with the overhead console. The mirror support arm has two
pivot points which lets you adjust the mirror UP or DOWN and from
SIDE to SIDE.
Without Navigation System
Press the control to turn the mirror
on. Press the control again to turn
the mirror off.
With Navigation System
The illuminated LED to the right of
the AUTO button indicates if the
mirror is in the auto-dimming
function. To turn the mirror off push
the OFF button until the LED goes
out.
Electronic compass (if equipped)
The compass reading will remain accurate during most driving
conditions. Unknown to the driver, the compass is continuously
re-calibrating due to changing magnetic fields and subtle, slow changes
in vehicle magnetics which can occur over the life of the vehicle. If
heading appears inaccurate re-calibrate mirror, refer toCompass
calibration adjustment.

The compass reading will remain fixed when significant levels of
magnetic interference are experienced (such as steel bridges). The
compass will return to normal operation upon leaving the magnetized
area.
If highly magnetized items (such as magnetic mount antennas) are
placed very near the compass the display will change to“C”.Ifa“C”is
displayed, remove the source of magnetic interference and re-calibrate
compass, refer toCompass calibration adjustment.
Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that
varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. A correct zone
setting will eliminate this error. Refer toCompass zone adjustment.
Compass zone adjustment
1. Determine which compass zone
you are in by referring to the zone
map.
2. Turn the ignition to the ON/RUN
position.
3. With the compass display turned
on, press and hold the COMP side of
the control for no more than six
seconds until the zone selection
number appears in the mirror
display window. If a“C”appears
repeat this step.
4. Release the COMP side of the
control, then press it down again.
5. Repeatedly press until your zone number is shown in the mirror
display, then release.
6. The display will show all segments, then return to normal compass
mode within ten seconds.
Compass calibration adjustment
Perform this adjustment in an open area free from steel structures and
high voltage lines.
