Heated outside mirrors

(if equipped)

Both mirrors are heated
automatically to remove ice, mist
and fog when the rear window
defrost is activated.

Do not remove ice from the mirrors
with a scraper or attempt to
readjust the mirror glass if it is
frozen in place. These actions could
cause damage to the glass and
mirrors.

Automatic dimming inside rear view mirror (if equipped)

Your vehicle is equipped with an
inside rear view mirror which has an
auto-dimming function. The
electronic day/night mirror will
change from the normal state to the
non-glare state when bright lights
(glare) reach the mirror. When the mirror detects bright light from front
or behind, it will automatically adjust (darken) to minimize glare.

Do not block the sensor on the backside of the mirror since this may
impair proper mirror performance.

Press the control to turn the mirror OFF or AUTO.

The mirror will automatically return to the normal state whenever the
vehicle is placed in R (Reverse)(when the mirror is on) to ensure a
bright clear view when backing up.

Electronic compass (if equipped)

The compass reading will remain accurate during most driving
conditions. Unknown to the driver, the compass is continuously
recalibrating due to magnetic fields and subtle, slow changes in vehicle
magnetics which can occur over the life of the vehicle.

The compass reading will remain fixed when significant levels are
experienced (such as steel bridges). The compass will return to normal
operation upon leaving the magnetized area.

If highly magnetized items (such as magnetic mount antennas) are
placed very near the compass the display will change to “C” for 15
