Exterior Mirrors
Convex Mirrors
{Warning
A convex mirror can make things,
like other vehicles, look farther
away than they really are. If you
cut too sharply into the right lane,
you could hit a vehicle on the
right. Check the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
The passenger side mirror is convex
shaped. A convex mirror's surface is
curved so more can be seen from
the driver seat.
Power Mirrors
To adjust the mirrors:
1. Press (1) or (2) to select the driver or passenger side mirror.
The indicator light comes on.
2. Press the arrows on the control pad to move the mirror up,
down, right, or left.
3. Adjust the outside mirror so that the side of the vehicle and the
area behind are seen. 4. Press either (1) or (2) again to
deselect the mirror. The indicator
light goes off.

Wiper Parking
If the ignition is put in OFF while the
wipers are on
w,1, or3INT,
they will immediately stop.
If
zFRONT is then moved to
OFF before the driver door is
opened or within 10 minutes, the
wipers will restart and move to the
base of the windshield. If the ignition is put in OFF while the
wipers are performing wipes due to
windshield washing or Rainsense,
the wipers continue to run until they
reach the base of the windshield.
Rainsense™
With Rainsense, a sensor near the
top center of the windshield detects
the amount of water on the
windshield and controls the
frequency of the windshield wiper.
Keep this area of the windshield
clear of debris to allow for best
system performance.
3INT (Rainsense Wipe
Sensitivity): Turn the
zFRONT
band on the wiper lever to adjust the

Compass
The vehicle may have a compass
display on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The compass receives
its heading and other information
from the Global Positioning
System (GPS) antenna,
StabiliTrak
®, and vehicle speed
information.
The compass system is designed to
operate for a certain number of
miles or degrees of turn before
needing a signal from the GPS
satellites. When the compass
display shows CAL, drive the
vehicle for a short distance in an
open area where it can receive a GPS signal. The compass system
will automatically determine when a
GPS signal is restored and provide
a heading again. See
Compass
Messages on page 5-35 for the
messages that may be displayed for
the compass.

IntelliBeam®System
If equipped, this system turns the
vehicle's high-beam headlamps on
and off according to surrounding
traffic conditions.
The system turns the high-beam
headlamps on when it is dark
enough and there is no other traffic
present.
This light comes on in the
instrument cluster when the
IntelliBeam system is enabled.

beams when driving over 32 km/h
(20 mph).
There is a sensor near the top
center of the windshield, which
automatically controls the system.
Keep this area of the windshield
clear of debris to allow for best
system performance.
The high-beam headlamps remain
on, under the automatic control,
until one of the following situations
occurs:
.The system detects an
approaching vehicle's
headlamps.
.The system detects a preceding
vehicle's taillamps.
.The outside light is bright
enough that high-beam
headlamps are not required.
