This indication shows the average rate of
fuel consumption since the trip meter was
last reset.
Pressing the trip knob toggles the indica-
tion between the average fuel consump-
tion corresponding to the A trip meter indi-
cation and the average fuel consumption
corresponding to the B trip meter indica-tion.
When either of the trip meter indications is
reset, the corresponding average fuel
consumption value is also reset.
NOTE y The indicated values vary in accor-
dance with changes in the vehicle’s
running conditions. Also, the indicated
values may differ slightly from the ac- tual values and should thus be treated
only as a guide. y
When either trip meter indication is
reset, the average fuel consumption
corresponding to that trip meter indica- tion is not shown until the vehicle has
subsequently covered a distance of 1
mile (or 1 km). „ Driving range on remaining fuel
U.S.-spec. vehicles Canada-spec. vehicles
The driving range indicates the distance
that can be driven taking into account the
amount of fuel remaining in the tank and
the average rate of fuel consumption.
When the low fuel warning light comes on,
the driving range indication flashes for five
seconds. (The display first switches to the
driving range indication if it was originally
giving some other indication.)

If the driving range is shown as “ ”,
there is only a tiny amount of fuel left in the tank. You must refuel the vehicle immedi-
ately.
NOTE y
The driving range on remaining fuel
is only a guide. The indicated value
may differ from the actual driving
range on remaining fuel, so you must
immediately fill the tank when the low
fuel warning light comes on.y When the low fuel warning light is lit,
the display automatically shows
“ ” even if the currently selected
indication is not for the driving range
on remaining fuel. „ Journey time
The journey time shows the time that has
elapsed since the ignition switch was turned to the “START” position.
The journey time indication flashes each
time a complete hour has elapsed. If the
display is giving an indication other than
the journey time, the display switches to
the journey time, flashes for five seconds,
and returns to its original indication each
time a complete hour has elapsed.
NOTE
The journey time is reset when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the “OFF” posi-
tion. It is also reset if the ignition
switch is turned to the “LOCK” or
“ACC” position prior to restarting of
the engine.

ton, the compass display is toggled on or
off. When the compass is on, an illuminat-
ed 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 trans-
mission is shifted into reverse. This is to
ensure good rearward visibility during re-
versing. T
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 sensors detect it
and make the reflection surface of the mir-
ror dimmer to help prevent you from being
blinded. For this reason, use care not to cover the sensors with stickers, or other
similar items. Periodically wipe the sen-
sors clean using a piece of dry soft cotton
cloth or an applicator. T
Compass calibration
1. For optimum calibration, switch off all
nonessential 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 metallic objects or structures and
make certain the ignition switch is in the“ON” position.
3. Press and hold the left button for 3 sec-
onds then release, and the compass will
enter the calibration mode. “CAL” and di-
rection will be displayed.
4. Drive slowly in a circle until “CAL” dis-
appears from the display (approximately
two or three circles). The compass is now
calibrated.
5. Further calibration may be necessary
should outside influences cause the mirror
to read inaccurately. You will know that
this has occurred if your compass begins
to read in only limited directions. Should
you encounter this situation, return to step
one of the above procedure and recali-
brate the mirror. T
Compass zone adjustment
1. The zone setting is factory preset to
Zone 8. Refer to the “Compass calibration
zone” map attached to the end of this
manual to verify that the compass zone
setting is correct for your geographical lo- cation.
2. Press and hold the right button for 3
seconds then release, and the word
“ZONE” will briefly appear and then the
zone number will be displayed.
3. Press the right-hand button repeatedly to cycle the display through all possible
zone settings. Stop cycling when the cor-
rect zone setting for your location is dis-
played.
4. Releasing the button for 3 seconds will
exit the zone setting mode.

4-6 Climate control
To change the system back to the AUTO
mode, press the “AUTO” button. TOFF button
The Automatic Climate Control system
turns off (the air conditioner compressor
and fan turn off) when the “OFF” button is
pressed.
When the “OFF” button is pressed, the
outside air introduction mode (air inlet se-
lection OFF) is automatically selected. T
Temperature control dial
Driver’s side
Passenger’s side
It is possible to make separate tempera- ture settings for the driver’s side and pas-
senger’s side. Each temperature setting is
shown on the display. With the dial set at
your desired temperature, the system au-
tomatically adjusts the temperature of air
supplied from the outlets such that the de-
sired temperature is achieved and main-
tained.
Turning the dial counterclockwise and re-
leasing it reduces the temperature by 1
°F
(0.5 °C). Turning the dial clockwise and re-
leasing it increases the temperature by1 °F (0.5 °C). Holding the dial in either
turned position causes the temperature to
change continuously.
With the minimum temperature set, the
system gives maximum cooling perfor-
mance. With the maximum temperature
set, the system gives maximum heating
performance.

sired station. V
Automatic tuning (SCAN)
Press the “SCAN” button (7) to change the
radio to the SCAN mode. In this mode, the
radio scans through the radio band until a
station is found. The radio will stop at the
station for five seconds while displaying
the frequency, after which scanning will
continue until the entire band has been
scanned from the low end to the high end.
Press the “SCAN” button again to cancel
the SCAN mode and to stop on any dis-
played frequency.
Press the “ ” or “ ” side of the SEEK
FLDR (6) button again to cancel the scan
mode and to stop on any displayed fre-
quency.
When the “SCAN” button is pressed for
automatic tuning, stations are scanned in
the direction of low frequencies to high fre-
quencies only.
Automatic tuning may not function proper-
ly if the station reception is weakened by
distance from the station or proximity to
tall buildings and hills. T
Selecting preset stations
Presetting a station with a preset button
(9) allows you to select that station in a
single operation. Up to six, AM, FM1 and
FM2 stations each may be preset. T How to preset stations
1. Press the “FM” (2) or “AM” (1) button to
select FM1, FM2, or AM reception.
2. Press the “SCAN” button (7) or tune
the radio manually until the desired station
frequency is displayed.
3. Press one of the preset buttons (9) for
more than 1.5 seconds to store the fre-
quency. If the button is pressed for less
than 1.5 seconds, the preceding selection
will remain in memory.
NOTE y If the connection between the radio
and battery is broken for any reason
such as vehicle maintenance or radio
removal, all stations stored in the pre-
set buttons are cleared. If this occurs,
it is necessary to reset the preset but- tons.y If a cell phone is placed near the ra-
dio, it may cause the radio to emit
noise when it receives calls. This noise
does not indicate a radio fault. T Rear seat entertainment
If your vehicle is equipped with a Rear Seat Entertainment System, you can en-
joy audio outputs from the system through
the vehicle’s speakers by pressing the
“RSE AUX” button. Press the button again
to return to the audio set sound.
