Mirrors

Manual Rearview Mirror with
Compass

The vehicle may have a manual rearview mirror with an
eight-point compass display located in the upper right
portion of the mirror.

Mirror Operation

While sitting in a comfortable position, adjust the rearview
mirror so you can see clearly behind your vehicle. Grip it
in the center and move it up or down and side to side.
The day/night control, located at the bottom of the mirror,
adjusts the mirror to reduce headlamp glare from behind
during evening or dark conditions. Rotate the control to
the right for night time use; rotate it to the left for day use.

two seconds. After two seconds, the mirror will display
the direction the vehicle is facing.
