In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bags would
not be able to provide any additional
benefit, and thus the sensors may
not deploy any air bags.Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehicle
causing it to "ride" under a vehicle
with a higher ground clearance. Air
bags may not inflate in this "under-
ride" situation because deceleration
forces that are detected by sensors
may be significantly reduced by such
"underride" collisions.Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because air bag
deployment could not provide protec-
tion to the occupants.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate when the vehicle is rolled
over by a side impact collision.

there is a malfunction with the
Blind-Spot Collision Warning
(BCW) system as follows:
- When the BCW warningmessage appears
When the BCW sensor or the sensor surrounding is pol-
luted or covered
- When the BCW does not warn or warns wrongly
For more details, refer to cau-
tions and limitations in "Blind-

Electrochromatic Mirror (ECM)(if equipped)
Some vehicles come equipped with
an electrochromic mirror that helps
control glare while driving at night or
under low light driving conditions.
When the engine is running, the
glare is automatically controlled by
the sensor mounted in the rearview
mirror. The sensor detects the light
level around the vehicle, and auto-
matically adjusts to control the head-
lamp glare from vehicles behind you.
Whenever the shift button is placed
in R (Reverse), the mirror will auto-
matically go to the brightest setting in
order to improve the driver’s view
behind the vehicle.
[A] : Indicator
When cleaning the mirror, use a
paper towel or similar material
dampened with glass cleaner. Do
not spray glass cleaner directly on
the mirror as that may cause the
liquid cleaner to enter the mirror
housing.
Electrochromatic Mirror (ECM)with homelink system (if equipped)
To operate the electric rearview
mirror
Press the I button (1) to turn the
automatic- dimming function on. The
mirror indicator light will illuminate.
Press the O button (2) to turn the
automatic- dimming function off. The
mirror indicator light will turn off.

HomeLink®Wireless Control System
Your new mirror comes with an inte-
grated HomeLink Universal
Transceiver, which allows you to pro-
gram the mirror to activate your
garage door(s), estate gate, home
lighting, etc. The mirror actually
learns the codes from your various
existing transmitters.Retain the original transmitter for
future programming procedures (i.e.,
new vehicle purchase). It is also sug-
gested that upon the sale of the vehi-
cle, the programmed HomeLink but-
tons be erased for security purposes
(follow step 1 in the "Programming"
portion of this text).
Programming
Your vehicle may require the ignition
switch to be turned to the ACC posi-
tion for programming and/or operation
of HomeLink. It is also recommended
that a new battery be replaced in the
hand-held transmitter of the device
being programmed to HomeLink for
quicker training and accurate trans-
mission of the radio-frequency.
Follow these steps to train your
HomeLink mirror:

When programming the
HomeLink®Wireless Control
System, you may be operating
a garage door or gate operator.
Make sure that people and
objects are out of the way of
the moving door or gate to pre-
vent potential harm or damage.
Do not use HomeLink with
any garage door opener that
lacks the safety stop and
reverse feature as required by
U.S. federal safety standards.
(This includes any garage
door opener model manufac-
tured before April 1, 1982.) A
garage door opener which
cannot detect an object, sig-
naling the door to stop and
reverse, does not meet cur-
rent U.S. federal safety stan-
dards. Using a garage door
opener without these features
increases risk of serious
injury or death. For more
details, call 1-800-355-3515 or

link.com.
