another wiper position. The rain sensor is automatically deactivated when the key is removed from the ignitionslot or five minutes after the ignition has beenswitched off.
CAUTION
The rain sensor should be deactivated when washing the car in an automatic carwash, etc. If the rain sensor function is lefton, the wipers will start inadvertently in thecar wash and could be damaged.
Windshield washer
Move the lever toward the steering wheel to start the windshield and headlight washers.After the lever is released the wipers makeseveral extra sweeps.
Washing function
Heated washer nozzles*The washer nozzles are heated automatically in cold weather to help prevent the washerfluid from freezing.
High-pressure headlight washing*High-pressure headlight washing consumes alarge quantity of washer fluid. To save fluid,the headlights are washed using two alterna-tives:
• Low/high beam headlights on.
The
headlights will be washed the first time the windshield is washed. Thereafter, theheadlights will only be washed once for every five times the windshield is washedwithin a 10-minute period.
• Parking lights on.
Optional Active Bend-
ing Lights will be washed once for everyfive times the windshield is washed. Nor-mal halogen headlights will not bewashed.
CAUTION
• Use ample washer fluid when washing the windshield. The windshield shouldbe thoroughly wet when the wipers arein operation.
• When approx. 1 US quart (1 liter) ofwasher fluid remains in the reservoir,the headlights will no longer bewashed. A text message will also bedisplayed to remind the driver to fill thewasher fluid reservoir.

Manual up/down
Auto up/down.
For the power windows to function, the igni- tion must be in at least mode I. When the vehicle has been running, the power windowscan be operated for several minutes after theremote key has been removed from the igni-tion slot, or until a door has been opened.
NOTE
•
Movement of the windows will stop if they are obstructed in any way.
• To reduce buffeting wind noise if therear windows are opened, also openthe front windows slightly.
Manual up/down–Move one of the controls up/down slightly.
> The power windows move up/down as
long as the control is held in position.
Auto up/down–Move one of the controls up/down as far as possible and release it.
> The window will open or close com-pletely.
ResettingIf the battery has been disconnected, the auto open function must be reset so that itwill work properly.

Digital compass*
The rear-view mirror has an integrated display that shows the compass direction in whichthe vehicle is traveling.
Operation
G029737
Rearview mirror with compass.
Eight different directions are shown with the abbreviations:
N (north), NE (north east), E(east), SE (southeast), S (south), SW (south-
west), W (west) and NW (northwest).
The compass is displayed automatically when the vehicle is started or in ignition mode II. To
switch the compass on/off use a pen, paper-clip or similar object and press in the buttonon the rear side of the mirror.
CalibrationNorth America is divided into 15 magneticzones and the compass will need to be cali-brated if the vehicle is driven into a new one (see the magnetic zones on the map in thefollowing section "Selecting a magneticzone"). To do so:
1. Stop the vehicle in a large open area,
safely out of traffic and away from steel structures and high-tension electricalwires.
2. Start the vehicle.
NOTE
• For best calibration results, switch off all electrical equipment in the vehicle(climate system, windshield wipers,audio system, etc.) and make sure thatall doors are closed.
• Calibration may not succeed or beincorrect if the vehicle's electricalequipment is not switched off.
3. Using a pen, paperclip or similar object,
press and hold the button on the rear side of mirror for approx. 6 seconds until
C is
displayed in the mirror.
4. Press and hold the button for 3 seconds until the number of the current magnetic zone is displayed.
5. Press the button repeatedly until the number of the desired magnetic zone (
1-15) is displayed. See the magnetic
zones on the map in the following section "Selecting a magnetic zone"). 6.
Wait until
C is again displayed in the mir-
ror.
7. Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no more than 6 mph (10 km/h) until a direc- tion is displayed. This indicates that cali-bration is complete.
8. Drive around in a circle an additional two times to fine-tune the calibration.
9. Vehicles with an electrically heated windshield:
* if
C is displayed when the
heating function is activated, perform step 7 with the heating function on. Seealso Max. defroster and electricallyheated windshield* (p. 132) for additionalinformation about the heated windshield.
Repeat the calibration procedure if neces-sary.

The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones. The correct zone must be selected for thecompass to work correctly.
1. Put the ignition in mode II.
2. Using a pen or similar object, press and hold the button on the rear side of mirror for at least 3 seconds. The number for thecurrent area will be shown.
3. Press the button repeatedly until the number for the required geographic area(1 – 15) is shown.
4. The display will revert to showing the compass direction after several seconds.Power moonroof* – introduction
The moonroof controls are located in the ceil- ing console near the rearview mirror. The moonroof's sun visor opens automatically but has to be closed manually.

Wireless Control System* – pro-
gramming (p. 109).
Using HomeLinkTo operate, simply press and hold the pro- grammed HomeLink button until the traineddevice begins to operate (this may take sev-eral seconds). Activation will now occur forthe trained device (i.e., garage door opener,gate operator, security system, entry doorlock, home/office lighting, etc.). For conven-ience, the hand-held transmitter of the devicemay also be used at any time. In the eventthat there are still programming difficulties orquestions, contact HomeLink at:www.homelink.com/www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex or by phoning the hotline at1–800–355–3515.
NOTE
If the ignition is switched off, HomeLink will function for 30 minutes after the driv-er's door has been opened.

Wireless Control System*
– programming
The HomeLink Wireless Control System pro- vides a convenient way to replace up to threehand-held radio-frequency (RF) transmittersused to activate devices such as gate opera-tors, garage door openers, entry door locks,security systems, even home lighting. Addi-tional information can be found on the Inter-net atwww.homelink.com/www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex or by phoning the hotline at1–800–355–3515.
NOTE
Some vehicles may require the ignition to be switched on or be in the “accessories”position for programming and/or operationof HomeLink. It is also recommended thata new battery be placed in the hand-heldtransmitter of the device being pro-grammed to HomeLink for quicker trainingand accurate transmission of the radio-fre-quency signal. The HomeLink buttonsmust be reset first. When this has beencompleted, Homelink is in learning modeso that you can perform programming.
1. Position the end of your hand-held trans- mitter 1–3 inches (5–14 cm) away from the HomeLink button you wish to pro-gram while keeping the indicator light inview. 2. Simultaneously press and hold both the
chosen HomeLink and hand-held trans-mitter buttons until the HomeLink indica-tor light changes from a slow to a rapidlyblinking light. Now you may release boththe HomeLink and hand-held transmitterbuttons.
NOTE
Some devices may require you to replace this Programming Step 2 with proceduresnoted in the “Gate Operator / CanadianProgramming” section. If the HomeLinkindicator light does not change to a rapidlyblinking light after performing these steps,contact HomeLink at www.homelink.com/www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex or byphoning the hotline at 1–800–355–3515.
