Compass Calibration
The compass may need calibration if one of the
following occurs:
After approximately ve seconds, the display does
not show a compass heading (N for North, for
example), there may be a strong magnetic eld
interfering with the compass. Such interference may
be caused by a magnetic antenna mount, magnetic
note pad holder, or a similar magnetic item.
The compass does not display the correct heading
and the compass zone variance is set correctly.
In order to calibrate, CAL must be displayed in the mirror
compass windows. If CAL is not displayed, push the
on/off button for approximately 12 seconds or until CAL
is displayed.
The compass can be calibrated by driving the vehicle in
circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display reads a
direction.
Cleaning the Mirror
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.
Outside Power Heated Mirrors
The controls for the outside
power mirrors are located
on the driver’s door.
Move the top selector control to the left or right to select
either the driver’s or passenger’s mirror. To adjust the
direction of the mirror, use the arrows on the round
four-way control. Adjust each outside mirror so that a
little of the vehicle and the area behind it can be seen
while sitting in a comfortable, driving position. Keep the
control in the center position when not adjusting
either outside mirror.
If the vehicle has the memory feature, a preferred mirror
position can be stored. SeeMemory on page 2-72.
