Feature Highlights
AUTO -dIMMIN g MIRRORS ANd hOMELINK®
•
Auto-dimming automatically darkens your
rearview mirror and driver side door mirror
to reduce headlight glare from the vehicles
behind you.
• Auto-dimming is activated every time the
vehicle is started.
NOTE:
•
The driver side door mirror will appear to have a halo, or ring, around the outer
edge of the mirror surface. This is actually the electrical circuitry that allows the
mirror to dim. This is normal operation of the mirror.
• In addition to the auto-dimming mirror’s rear light sensor, there is also a
front light sensor (not shown). Do not place or hang any objects over the
front or rear mirror light sensors; otherwise, the auto-dimming mirrors will
not operate properly.
homeLink®
• T h i s feature provides a convenient way to replace up to three
transmitters such as garage door openers, home lighting remotes
and other radio frequency devices.
• Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete programming details.

Compass and h omeLink® is available at your Mazda dealer if
your vehicle is not equipped with system.
