The mirror also includes an eight-point compass
display in the upper right corner of the mirror face.
When on, the compass automatically calibrates as the
vehicle is driven.
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar
material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray
glass cleaner directly on the mirror as that may cause
the liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing.
Cleaning the Photocells
Use a cotton swab and glass cleaner to clean the
photocells when necessary.
Mirror Operation
The right side of the button, located at the bottom of
the mirror, turns the electrochromic mirror on and off.
To turn on the automatic dimming feature, press
MIRROR. To turn off the automatic dimming, press
MIRROR again. The indicator light will be illuminated
when this feature is active.Time Delay
The automatic mirror has a time delay feature which
prevents unnecessary changing from the night back to
the day position. This delay prevents rapid changing of
the mirror as you drive under lights and through traffic.
Compass Operation
Press the COMPASS side of the button to turn the
compass on or off.
While the ignition is on and the compass feature is
selected, the compass will show two character boxes
for approximately two seconds. After two seconds,
the mirror will display the compass heading.
Compass Calibration
If, after two seconds, the display does not show a
compass heading (ªNº 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, magnetic note pad holder or a similar
magnetic item. If the letter ªCº should ever appear in
the compass window, the mirror needs calibration.

2-52
The mirror can be calibrated in one of two ways:
Drive the vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less
until the display reads a direction, or
Drive the vehicle on your everyday routine.
Compass Variance
The mirror is set in zone eight upon leaving the factory.
It will be necessary to adjust the compass to compensate
for compass variance if you live outside zone eight.
Under certain circumstances, as during a long distance
cross
-country trip, it will be necessary to adjust for
compass variance. Compass variance is the difference
between earth's magnetic north and true geographic
north. If not adjusted to account for compass variance,
your compass could give false readings.
To adjust for compass variance:
1. Use the COMPASS side of the button located at the
bottom of the mirror. Press and hold COMPASS
until a zone number appears in the display.
2. Find your current location and variance zone number
on the following zone map.
3. Press COMPASS on the bottom of the mirror
until the new zone number appears in the display.
After you stop pressing the button, the display will
show a ªCº and will need recalibration.

2-53 Power Remote Control Mirror (Heated)
This feature is located on
the driver's door armrest.
Move the L/R select switch
located under the power
mirror control to choose
the left or right mirror.
To adjust the mirror, move the arrow control in the direction
you want the mirror to go. Leave the L/R select switch in
the center position to disable mirror movement. This is
helpful in preventing unwanted mirror movement in case
the control is accidentally bumped while driving. Adjust
each outside mirror so the vehicle is barely visible in the
mirror to maximize your side view.The mirrors can also be programmed for personalization
and parallel parking feature if you have the optional
memory package. For more information, see ªMemory
Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheelº and ªVehicle
Programming and Personalization Featuresº in the
Index. For information on the heated outside mirrors,
see ªRear Window Defoggerº in the Index.
Driver's Outside Auto-Dimming
Rearview Mirror
Only the driver's side outside mirror will adjust for the
glare of headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled
by pressing the MIRROR side of the button on and off.
This button is located at the bottom of the electrochromic
mirror. See ªElectrochromic Day/Night Rearview Mirror
with Compassº in the Index for more information.

2-54 Convex Outside Mirror
Your passenger's side mirror is convex. A convex mirror's
surface is curved so you can see more from the driver's seat.
This mirror does not have a dimming feature.
CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you could
hit a vehicle on your right. Check your inside mirror
or glance over your shoulder before changing lanes.
Curb View Assist Mirror (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with memory mirrors,
it will also be equipped with the curb view assist mirror
feature. This feature will cause the passenger's mirror to
tilt when the vehicle is in REVERSE (R). This feature is
especially useful in allowing you to view the curb whenyou are parallel parking. If further adjustment is needed
after the mirror is tilted, the power mirror controls may
be used to adjust the mirror. If the mirror control is
pressed while the passenger's mirror is tilted, the mirror
will move in that direction, but will return to its original
position once the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R)
and a five
-second delay has occurred.
To program the feature, see ªMirror to Curb in Reverseº
in the Index.

Glove Box
The glove box is located in front of the passenger's seat.
To lock the glove box door, insert the master key into
the lock cylinder and turn it clockwise. Turn the key
counterclockwise to unlock the door.

outward to release the velcro and slide the basket toward
you. Reverse the steps to reinstall.

Put small loads, like grocery bags, behind the net. It can
help keep them from falling over during sharp turns or
