Compass Variance
Compass variance is the difference between earth’s
magnetic north and true geographic north. If the
mirror is not adjusted for compass variance, the
compass could give false readings.
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 driven outside zone eight. Under
certain circumstances, such as a long distance,
cross-country trip, it will be necessary to adjust
the compass variance.
To adjust for compass variance, do the following:
1. Find your current location and variance
zone number on the zone map that follows.
2. Press and hold the on/off button until a zone
number appears on the display.
3. Once the zone number appears on the
display, press the on/off button quickly
until you reach the correct zone number.
If C appears in the compass window,
the compass may need calibration. See
“Compass Calibration” listed previously.

Automatic Climate Control System
If your vehicle has this system, you can
automatically control the heating, cooling and
ventilation in your vehicle.
Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic):Select AUTO on both the fan
speed control and the air delivery mode control
knobs to activate the automatic system. Automatic
operation controls the inside temperature and
air delivery.Use the steps below to place the climate control
system in automatic mode:
1. Turn the fan knob and the mode knob
to AUTO.
The display shows the current set temperature.
When auto is selected, the air conditioning
operation and air inlet is automatically
controlled. The air conditioning compressor
runs when the outside temperature is over
about 40°F (4°C). The air inlet is normally set to
outside air. If it is hot outside, the air inlet can
automatically switch to recirculate inside air to
help quickly cool down your vehicle.
2. Set the temperature.
To nd your comfort setting, start with an initial
temperature setting and allow about 20 minutes
for the system to regulate. Press the up or down
arrow temperature buttons to adjust the
temperature setting as necessary. If you
choose the temperature setting of 60°F (15°C)
the system remains at the maximum cooling
setting. If you choose the temperature setting of
90°F (32°C) the system remains at the
maximum heat setting. Choosing either
maximum setting will not cause the vehicle to
heat or cool faster.
