Installing a garage door opener (if equipped)
The storage compartment can be converted to accommodate a variety of
aftermarket garage door openers:
•Place the Velcro hook onto the
side of the aftermarket
transmitter opposite of the
button.
•Place the transmitter into storage
compartment, button down.
•Place the provided height
adaptors onto the back of the
door as needed.
•Close the door.
•Press the depression in the door
to activate the transmitter.
Automatic dimming rear view mirror
The automatic dimming mirror is
equipped with an automatic
dimming feature. This feature will
change from the normal state to the
non-glare “active” state when bright
lights (glare) reach the mirror.
When the mirror detects bright light
from behind, it will adjust automatically to minimize glare.
The mirror will automatically return to the normal high reflective state
whenever the vehicle is placed in R (Reverse) (when the mirror is in the
ON position). This helps to ensure a bright clear view in the mirror when
backing up.

Illuminated visor mirror (if equipped)
Lift the mirror cover to turn on the
visor mirror lamps.
AUXILIARY POWER POINT
Power point outlets are designed
for accessory use only. Do not
hang any type of accessories or
accessory bracket from their
plugs. Improper use of the
power point outlet can cause
damage not covered by your
warranty.
Do not plug electrical accessories into the cigarette lighter socket
(if equipped). Always use the power point for accessories.
Do not use the power point for operating the cigarette lighter element.
The Maximum power each power point can supply depends on the fuse
rating. For example: a 20A fuse should supply a maximum of 240 Watts,
a 15A fuse should supply a maximum of 180 Watts. Exceeding these
limits will result in a blown fuse.
Always keep the power point caps closed when not being used.
Rear auxiliary power point (if equipped)
A second auxiliary power point is located on the rear side of the console.
It is accessible from the rear seats.

view mirrors.
To adjust your mirrors:

defrost is activated.

attempt to readjust the mirror
glass if it is frozen in place.
These actions could cause damage to the glass and mirrors.
Fold-away mirrors
Pull the side mirrors in carefully
when driving through a narrow
