Electric chromic mirror (ECM) (if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automat- ically controls the glare from the
headlights of the car behind you in
nighttime or low light driving condi-
tions. The sensor mounted in the mir-
ror senses the light level around the
vehicle, and automatically controls
the headlight glare from vehicles
behind you.
When the engine is running, the
glare is automatically controlled by
the sensor mounted in the rearview
mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted
into R (Reverse), the mirror will auto-
matically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the drivers view
behind the vehicle.
To operate the electric rearview
mirror:
Press the on/off button (1) to turn the automatic dimming function on. The mirror indicator light will illumi-
nate.
Press the on/off button to turn the
automatic dimming function off.
The mirror indicator light will turn
off.
The mirror defaults to the ON posi- tion whenever the ignition switch is
turned on.

Information
The law regulates a speedometer
to display the information in a
smaller font than the navigation (ifequipped) does.
Tachometer
The tachometer indicates the
approximate number of engine revo-
lutions per minute (rpm). Use the tachometer to select the cor-
rect shift points and to prevent lug-
ging and/or over-revving the engine.
The tachometer pointer may move
slightly when the ignition switch is in
ACC or ON position with the engine
OFF. This movement is normal and
will not affect the accuracy of the
tachometer once the engine is run-ning.
i
In a speed-limit zone, such as
the Child Protection Zone, obey
the relevant speed limit (The
speed limit may differ in eachregion).
WARNING
Do not operate the engine with-
in the tachometer's RED ZONE.
This may cause severe engine
damage.
