The mirror has a photosensor attached on
both the front and back sides. Use care
not to cover the sensors with stickers, or
other similar items. Periodically wipe the
sensors clean using a piece of dry soft
cotton cloth or an applicator. NOTE
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper
towel or similar item dampened with
glass cleaner. Do not spray glass
cleaner directly on the mirror surface.
By doing so, the sprayed glass cleaner
could enter the inside of the mirror
housing. That may cause a malfunction
in the mirror. !
Electronic compass display
By pressing the multifunction button for 3
to 6 seconds, the compass display is
toggled on or off. When the compass
display is on, an illuminated compass
reading will appear on the mirror.
Using the electronic compass properly,
the following compass zone adjustment
and compass calibration will be neces-
sary. ! Compass zone adjustment
1. The compass zone has been set to zone “8 ” at the time of shipment from the
factory. Refer to the “Compass calibration
zones ”map, which is attached to the end
of this manual to verify that the compass
zone setting is correct for your geographi-
cal location.
2. Press and hold the multifunction but-
ton for 6 to 9 seconds, and then release it.
The zone number will be displayed.
3. Press the multifunction button repeat-
edly to cycle the display through all
possible zone settings. Stop cycling when
the correct zone number for your location
is displayed.
4. Releasing the button for 3 seconds will
exit the zone setting mode. !
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 multifunction but-
ton for 9 to 12 seconds, and then release
it. The compass will enter the calibration
mode, then “C ” and the direction will be
displayed.
4. Drive slowly in a circle until “C ”
disappears from the display. Driving in
two or three circles might be necessary.
The compass is now calibrated.
5. Further calibration may be necessary
should outside influences cause the com-
pass to read inaccurately. You will notice
any outside influence if the compass tends
to read in only one particular direction.
Should you encounter this situation, return
to step 1 of the above procedure and
recalibrate the compass.

This mirror has an anti-glare feature which
automatically reduces glare coming from
headlights of vehicles behind you. It also
contains a built-in compass. . By pressing and releasing the left
button, the automatic dimming function is
toggled on or off. When the automatic

the mirror surface turns bright if the
transmission is shifted into reverse. This
is to ensure good rearward visibility duringreversing. !
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
mirror 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 sensors clean using a piece of dry soft
cotton cloth or an applicator. !

disappears from the display (approxi-
mately 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. Instruments and controls
