Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with Compass
Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming
rearview mirror with a compass. This feature
enables the mirror to sense nighttime glare from
vehicle headlamps from behind and automatically
dim to reduce the glare to a safe level. The
automatic dimming feature turns on each time the
vehicle is started.
O (On/Off): This is the on/off button for the
automatic dimming feature.
Automatic Dimming Mirror Operation
The automatic dimming mirror function is turned on
automatically each time the ignition is started.
To operate the automatic dimming mirror, do the
following:
1. Make sure the green indicator light, located to
the left of the on/off button, is on. If it’s not,
press the on/off button until the green
light comes on, indicating that the mirror is in
automatic dimming mode.
2. Turn off the automatic dimming mirror function
by pressing the on/off button until the green
indicator light turns off.
Compass Operation
Y
: This is the on/off button for the
compass feature.
Press this button once to turn the compass on
or off.
When the ignition and the compass feature are
on, the compass will show two character boxes for
a few seconds. After a few seconds, the mirror
will display the current compass direction.
Compass Calibration
If after a few seconds the display does not show a
compass direction, (N for North for example),
there may be a strong magnetic field interfering
with the compass. Such interference may be
caused by a magnetic antenna mount, note pad
holder, or similar object. If the letter C or CAL
appears in the compass window, the compass may
need to be reset or calibrated.
To calibrate the compass, do the following:
• Make sure CAL is displayed in the display.
If CAL is not displayed, press and hold the
compass button until CAL is displayed.
• Drive the vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h)
or less until the display reads a direction.
