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

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.

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. !

WARNING
Objects look smaller in a convex
mirror and farther away than when
viewed in a flat mirror. Do not use
the convex mirror to judge the
distance of vehicles behind you
when changing lanes. Use the inside
mirror (or glance backwards) to
determine the actual size and dis-
tance of objects that you view in
convex mirror. !
Remote control mirror switch
The remote control mirrors operate only
when the ignition switch is in the “ON ”or
“ Acc ”position.

to prevent unintentional operation.
The mirrors can also be adjusted manu-
ally.

!Outside mirror defogger
The outside mirror defogger shares the
control switch with the rear window de-
fogger. Therefore, the outside mirror de-
fogger always operates with the rear
window defogger.
If the rear window defogger is set to the
continuous operation mode, the outside
mirror defogger also follows the contin-
uous setting.
For details, refer to “Rear window defog-
ger button ”F 3-37.
CAUTION
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not operate the de-
fogger continuously for any longer than necessary.

Temperature sensors
1) Interior air temperature sensor
2) Solar sensor
The automatic climate control system
employs several sensors. These sensors
are delicate. If they are treated incorrectly
and become damaged, the system may
not be able to control the interior tempera-
ture correctly. To avoid damaging the
sensors, observe the following precau-tions. – Do not subject the sensors to impact.
– Keep water away from the sensors.
– Do not cover the sensors.
The sensors are located as follows.– Solar sensor: beside windshield
