Compass
Compass Operation
PressOto turn the compass on or off.
When the ignition and the compass feature are on, the
mirror displays the compass heading after a few
seconds.
Compass Calibration
If after few seconds, the display does not show a
compass heading (for example, N for North), there may
be a strong magnetic field interfering with the compass.
Interference can be caused by a magnetic antenna
mount, magnetic note pad holder or a similar magnetic
item. If the letter C should ever appear in the compass
window, the compass may need calibration.
The mirror can be calibrated by driving the vehicle in
circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display reads a
direction.
The compass can be placed in calibration mode
manually by pressing and holding
Ountil a C is shown
in the compass display.
Compass Variance
The mirror is set to zone eight. If you do not live in zone
eight or drive out of the area, the compass variance
needs to be changed to the appropriate zone.
To adjust for compass variance:
1. Find the current location and variance zone number on the following zone map.
2. Press and holdOuntil a zone number displays.

Example of Eight Dip Switches with Three PositionsThe panel of switches might not appear exactly as
they do in the examples above, but they should be
similar.
The switch positions on your hand-held transmitter
could be labeled, as follows:
.A switch in the up position could be labeled as
“Up,” “+,” or“On.”
.A switch in the down position could be labeled
as “Down,” “−,” or“Off.”
.A switch in the middle position could be labeled
as “Middle,” “0,” or“Neutral.” 2. Write down the eight to 12 switch settings from left
to right as follows:
.When a switch is in the up position, write “Left.”
.When a switch is in the down position, write
“Right.”
.If a switch is set between the up and down
position, write“Middle.”
The switch settings written down in Step 2 will
now become the button strokes to be entered
into the Universal Home Remote in Step 4. Be
sure to enter the switch settings written down
in Step 2, in order from left to right, into the
Universal Home Remote, when completing
Step 4.

Vehicle Personalization
The vehicle has personalization that allows you to
program certain features to a preferred setting for
up to two drivers. The back of the keyless access
transmitters are labelled 1 or 2. Additional keyless
access transmitters programmed to the vehicle,
as 3 and/or 4, do not have a number on the back and
are not capable of being personalized. The number of
programmable features varies depending upon which
vehicle options are purchased.
On all vehicles, features such as climate control
settings, radio and XM™preset settings, exterior
lighting at unlock and remote lock unlock confirmation,
and language have already been programmed. Your
vehicle also has an automatic door locking feature
that is always on. You cannot turn the automatic door
locking feature off. See Programmable Automatic Door
Locks on page 3‑14.
Some vehicles have additional features that can be
programmed including the seat, steering column, and
outside rearview mirror position.
If your vehicle has the base audio system, the following
information explains the vehicle personalization on your
vehicle.
If your vehicle has the Navigation system, see
“Personalization” in the Index of the Navigation System
manual for information on vehicle personalization. If your vehicle has the ability to program additional
personalization features, the driver's preferences are
recalled by pressing any button on the keyless access
transmitter, 1 or 2, by selecting Driver 1 or 2 on the radio
display, or when a valid keyless access transmitter is
detected upon opening the driver's door.
If more than one valid keyless access transmitter is
detected upon opening the driver's door, the driver
preferences for the lowest driver number will be
recalled.
Certain features can be programmed not to recall until
the ignition is turned off.
The default settings were preset but may have been
changed.
To change feature preferences, use the following
procedure.
Entering the Personal Settings Menu
To enter the feature programming mode:
1. The ignition must be either on, in ACCESSORY, or in RAP and the transmission in P (Park) or the

KEYLESS LOCK DELAY
This feature allows you to select whether the doors
automatically lock during normal vehicle exit. When the

vehicle will determine how many keyless access
transmitters remain in the vehicle interior. If at least one
keyless access transmitter has been removed from the
interior of the vehicle, the doors will lock after
10 seconds.
For example, if there are two keyless access
transmitters in the vehicle and one is removed, the
other will be locked in. The keyless access transmitter
locked in the vehicle can still be used to start the
vehicle or unlock the doors, if needed. A person
approaching the outside of the locked vehicle without
an authorized keyless access transmitter, however, will
not be able to open the door, even with a transmitter in
the vehicle.
You may temporarily disable the passive door locking
feature by pressing the door unlock switch for
three seconds on an open door. Passive door locking
will then remain disabled until a door lock switch is
pressed or until the power mode transitions from the off
power mode.
