&Driving range on remaining
fuel
U.S.-spec. models
Except U.S.-spec.models
The driving range indicates the distancethat can be driven taking into account the
amount of fuel remaining in the tank andthe average rate of fuel consumption.
When the low fuel warning light illumi-nates, the driving range indication flashesfor 5 seconds. (The display first switchesto the driving range indication if it wasoriginally giving some other indication.)
U.S.-spec. models
Except U.S.-spec. models
If the driving range is shown as“”,there is only a tiny amount of fuel left in thetank. You must refuel the vehicle immedi-ately.
NOTE
.The driving range on remaining fuelis only a guide. The indicated valuemay differ from the actual driving rangeon remaining fuel, so you must imme-diately fill the tank when the low fuelwarning light illuminates..When the low fuel warning lightilluminates, the display automaticallyshows“”even if the currentlyselected indication is not for the driv-ing range on remaining fuel.

&Journey time
The journey time shows the time that haselapsed since the ignition switch wasturned to the“START”position.
The journey time indication flashes eachtime a complete hour has elapsed. If the
display is giving an indication other thanthe journey time, the display switches tothe journey time, flashes for 5 seconds,and returns to its original indication eachtime a complete hour has elapsed.
NOTE
The journey time is reset when theignition switch is turned to the“LOCK”position. It is also reset if the ignitionswitch is turned to the“LOCK”or“Acc”position prior to restarting ofthe engine.

The mirror has the following features.
.Rear view image display
.Auto-dimming function for anti-glarecapability
.Electronic compass display
You can display the various functions ofthese features based on how long youpress the multifunction button.

!Rear view image display
When the ignition switch is“ON”and theselect lever is set to“R”, the rear viewcamera automatically displays the rearview image behind the vehicle on theinside mirror.
Also, the following help lines are indicatedas a guide to help you realize the actualdistance from the display.
1) Vehicle width line (oblique vertical line)2) Approx. 10 feet (3 m) from the bumper(green horizontal line)3) Approx. 6.5 feet (2 m) from the bumper(green horizontal line)4) Approx. 3 feet (1 m) from the bumper(yellow horizontal line)5) Approx. 1.5 feet (0.5 m) from the bumper(red horizontal line)
These help lines are removable. Toremove the help lines, perform the follow-ing procedure.
1. Display the rear view image on themirror.
2. Press the multifunction button for morethan 3 seconds to remove the help lines.
To display the help lines, press the multi-function button for more than 3 seconds.
For precautions about the rear viewcamera and the rear view image, refer to“Rear view camera”F6-21.
!Auto-dimming function
The auto-dimming function is an anti-glarecapability which automatically reducesglare coming from headlights of vehiclesbehind you.
By briefly pressing the multifunction but-ton, the auto-dimming function is toggledon or off. When the auto-dimming functionis on, the auto dimming indicator light(green) will illuminate.

The mirror has a photosensor attached onboththe front and back sides. Use carenot to cover the sensors with stickers, orother similar items. Periodically wipe thesensors clean using a piece of dry softcotton cloth or an applicator.
NOTE
When cleaning the mirror, use a papertowel or similar item dampened withglass cleaner. Do not spray glasscleaner directly on the mirror surface.By doing so, the sprayed glass cleanercould enter the inside of the mirrorhousing. That may cause a malfunctionin the mirror.
!Electronic compass display
By pressing the multifunction button for 3to 6 seconds, the compass display istoggled on or off. When the compassdisplay is on, an illuminated compassreading will appear on the mirror.
Using the electronic compass properly,the following compass zone adjustmentand compass calibration will be neces-sary.
!Compasszone adjustment
1. The compass zone has been set tozone“8”at the time of shipment from thefactory. Refer to the“Compass calibrationzones”map, which is attached to the endof this manual to verify that the compasszone 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 allpossible zone settings. Stop cycling whenthe correct zone number for your locationis displayed.
4. Releasing the button for 3 seconds willexitthe zone setting mode.
!Compass calibration
1. For optimum calibration, switch off allnonessential electrical accessories (rearwindow defogger, heater/air conditioningsystem, spotlight, etc.) and ensure alldoors are shut.
2. Drive to an open, level area away fromlarge metallic objects or structures andmake certain the ignition switch is in the“ON”position.
3. Press and hold the multifunction but-ton for 9 to 12 seconds, and then releaseit. The compass will enter the calibrationmode,then“C”and the direction will bedisplayed.
4. Drive slowly in a circle until“C”disappears from the display. Driving intwo or three circles might be necessary.The compass is now calibrated.
5. Further calibration may be necessaryshould outside influences cause the com-pass to read inaccurately. You will noticeany outside influence if the compass tendsto read in only one particular direction.Shouldyou encounter this situation, returnto step 1 of the above procedure andrecalibrate the compass.

&Type C inside mirror (if
equipped)
1) Left button2) Auto dimming indicator3) Photosensor4) Right button
This mirror has an anti-glare feature whichautomatically reduces glare coming fromheadlights of vehicles behind you. It alsocontains a built-in compass.
.By pressing and releasing the leftbutton, the automatic dimming function istoggled on or off. When the automaticdimming function is on, the auto dimmingindicator light (green) located to the rightof the button will illuminate.
.By pressing and releasing the rightbutton, the compass display is toggled on
or off. When the compass is on, anilluminated compass reading will appearin the lower part of the mirror.
Even with the mirror in anti-glare mode,the mirror surface turns bright if thetransmission is shifted into reverse. Thisis to ensure good rearward visibility duringreversing.
!Photosensors
The mirror has a photosensor attached onboth the front and back sides. If the glarefrom the headlights of vehicles behind youstrikes the mirror, these sensors detect itand make the reflection surface of themirror dimmer to help prevent you frombeing blinded. For this reason, use carenot to cover the sensors with stickers, orother similar items. Periodically wipe the
sensors clean using a piece of dry softcotton cloth or an applicator.
!Compass calibration
1. For optimum calibration, switch off allnonessential electrical accessories (rearwindow defogger, heater/air conditioningsystem, spotlight, etc.) and ensure alldoors are shut.
2. Drive to an open, level area away fromlarge metallic objects or structures andmake certain the ignition switch is in the“ON”position.
3. Press and hold the left button for 3seconds then release, and the compasswill enter the calibration mode.“CAL”anddirection will be displayed.
4. Drive slowly in a circle until“CAL”disappears from the display (approxi-mately two or three circles). The compassis now calibrated.
5. Further calibration may be necessaryshould outside influences cause the mirrorto read inaccurately. You will know thatthis has occurred if your compass beginsto read in only limited directions. Shouldyou encounter this situation, return to stepone of the above procedure and recali-brate the mirror.
