Section 2 Features and Controls
101

Visor Vanity Mirror
You may have visor vanity mirrors, with or without
lamps. Lift the mirror cover to turn the lamps
on, if you have them.
Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some
cities. Although your vehicle has a number of
theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put on it can make it impossible to steal.
Passlock®
Your vehicle is equipped with the Passlock®
theft-deterrent system.
Passlock
®is a passive theft-deterrent system.
Passlock®enables fuel if the ignition lock cylinder
is turned with a valid key. If a correct key is not
used or the ignition lock cylinder is tampered with,
fuel is disabled.During normal operation, the SECURITY light will
go off approximately five seconds after the key
is turned to RUN. SeeSecurity Light on page 183.
If the engine stalls and the SECURITY light flashes,
wait until the light stops flashing before trying to
restart the engine. Remember to release the key
from START as soon as the engine starts.
If the engine is running and the SECURITY light
comes on, you will be able to restart the engine if
you turn the engine off. However, your Passlock
®
system is not working properly and must be
serviced by your dealer/retailer. Your vehicle is not
protected by Passlock
®at this time. You may
also want to check the fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 393. See your dealer/retailer
for service.
Do not leave the key or device that disarms
or deactivates the theft deterrent system in
the vehicle.

Mirrors
Manual Rearview Mirror
Pull the tab under the mirror toward you to reduce
glare from headlamps behind you after dark.
Push the tab away from you to restore the mirror
to the original position.
If you have a cargo van without the rear door
glass, your vehicle may not have an inside
rearview mirror.
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with Compass and Temperature
Display
Your vehicle may have this mirror. When on, an
automatic dimming mirror will dim to the proper
level to minimize glare from lights behind you
after dark.
The mirror also includes a dual display in the
upper right corner of the mirror with the compass
reading and the outside temperature.
Yb:Briefly press this button to turn the display
on or off.
Temperature Display
The temperature can be displayed by pressing the
compass/temperature button. Pressing the
compass/temperature button once briefly, will
toggle the display reading on and off. To alternate
the temperature reading between Fahrenheit and
Celsius, press and hold the compass/temperature
button for approximately three seconds until
the display blinks F and C. After approximately
five seconds of inactivity, the display will stop
blinking and display the last selection made.
If an abnormal reading is displayed, see your
dealer/retailer.
Automatic Dimming Mirror Operation
O
:Press this button to turn the automatic
dimming feature on or off. The indicator light to
the left of the button will turn on to indicate when
the feature is on. Once the mirror is turned off,
it will remain off until it is turned back on, or until
the vehicle is restarted.
Compass Operation
Press the compass/temperature button once
briefly to turn the display on or off.
134

Compass Calibration
The compass may need calibration if one of the
following occurs:
•If CAL is displayed while driving in the vehicle.
•After approximately five seconds, the display
does not show a compass heading, N for
North, for example, there may be a strong
magnetic field interfering with the compass.
Such interference may be caused by a
magnetic antenna mount, magnetic note pad
holder, or a similar magnetic item.
•The compass does not display the correct
heading and the compass zone variance
is set correctly.
In order to calibrate, CAL must be displayed in the
mirror compass windows. If CAL is not displayed,
push in the compass/temperature button for
approximately nine seconds or until CAL is
displayed.
The compass can be calibrated by driving the
vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the
display reads a direction.
Compass Variance
The mirror is set in zone eight upon leaving the
factory. It will be necessary to adjust the compass
to compensate for compass variance if the vehicle
is outside zone eight. Under certain circumstances,
as during a long distance cross-country trip, it will
be necessary to adjust for compass variance.
Compass variance is the difference between earth’s
magnetic north and true geographic north. If not
adjusted to account for compass variance, your
compass could give false readings.
135

To adjust for compass variance:
1. Find your current location and variance zone
number on the following zone map.
2. Press and hold the compass/temperature
button for six seconds until a zone number
appears in the display.
3. Press the compass/temperature button on the
bottom of the mirror until the new zone
number appears in the display. After you stop
pressing the button, the display will show a
compass direction within a few seconds.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.
Outside Manual Mirror
Adjust your outside mirrors so you can see a little
of the side of your vehicle, and have a clear
view of objects behind you. Some mirrors can be
folded in to enter narrow passageways.
Outside Camper-Type Mirrors
If your vehicle is
equipped with this style
camper-type mirrors,
they can be adjusted so
you can have a clear
view of any objects
behind you.
136

1. To adjust the mirrors
when towing a
trailer, turn the mirror
by pushing the mirror
head toward the
front of the vehicle.
2. Turn the mirror head
so that it swings
further outboard and
adjust the mirror
surface as needed.If your vehicle is
equipped with this style
camper-type mirrors,
they can be adjusted so
you can have a clear
view of the objects
behind you.
Adjust the mirror by rotating it left or right. Once
the mirror is adjusted to the correct position,
tighten the set screw, located at the end of the
arm, to hold the mirror in place. These mirrors can
also be manually folded in.
On the lower portion of each mirror is a convex
mirror. A convex mirror’s surface is curved so you
can see more from the driver’s seat.
137

Outside Power Mirrors
If the vehicle has power
mirrors, the control is
located on the driver’s
side door.
Select each mirror by turning the knob clockwise
for the passenger’s side mirror or counterclockwise
for the driver’s side mirror. The center position
is neutral.
Then, adjust the mirror angle by moving the knob
in the desired direction.
Outside Convex Mirror
Your passenger’s side mirror may be convex.
A convex mirror’s surface is curved so you can
see more from the driver’s seat.
{CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like
other vehicles) look farther away than
they really are. If you cut too sharply
into the right lane, you could hit a vehicle
on your right. Check your inside mirror
or glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
