Automatic dimming rear view mirror (if equipped)

Your vehicle may be equipped with
an inside rear view mirror with an
auto-dimming feature. When the
auto-dimming mirror is turned on,
as indicated by an illuminated green
LED to the left of the button on
mirror, it will detect bright lights
(glare) from behind the vehicle, and will change from the normal, high
reflective state, to the darkened state to minimize glare.

When the auto-dimming mirror is turned on, it will automatically return
to the normal, high reflective, state whenever the vehicle is placed in R
(reverse) to ensure a clear view while backing up.

Do not block the sensor located to the right of the mirror button or the
sensor located on the back side of the mirror as this may impair mirror
performance.

SPEED CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)

With speed control set, you can maintain a speed of 48 km/h (30 mph)
or more without keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal. Speed
control does not work at speeds below 48 km/h (30 mph).

Do not use the speed control in heavy traffic or on roads that
are winding, slippery or unpaved.

Setting speed control

The controls for using your speed
control are located on the steering
wheel for your convenience.

1. Press the ON control and release
it.

2. Accelerate to the desired speed.
