Compass Calibration
If after a few seconds the display does not show a
compass direction, (N for North for example), there may
be a strong magnetic eld interfering with the compass.
Interference can be caused by a magnetic antenna
mount, note pad holder, or similar object. If CAL appears
in the compass window, the compass may need to be
reset or calibrated.
To calibrate the compass:
1. Make sure CAL is displayed. If CAL is not displayed,
press and hold the compass button until CAL
displays.
2. While CAL displays, drive the vehicle in circles at
5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display reads a
direction.
Compass Variance
The mirror is set to zone eight. If you do not live in zone
eight or drive out of the area, the compass variance
needs to be changed to the appropriate zone.To adjust for compass variance:
1. Find the current location and variance zone number
on the following zone map.
2. Press and hold the compass button until a Z and a
zone number displays.
3. Once the zone number displays, press the compass
button repeatedly until the correct zone number is
reached. If CAL displays in the compass window,
the compass may need calibration. See “Compass

Object Detection Systems
Rear Vision Camera (RVC)
The vehicle may have a Rear Vision Camera system.
Read this entire section before using it.
{CAUTION:
The Rear Vision Camera (RVC) system does not
replace driver vision. RVC does not:
Detect objects that are outside the camera’s
eld of view, below the bumper, or
underneath the vehicle.
Detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists, or pets.
Do not back the vehicle by only looking at the rear
vision camera screen, or use the screen during
longer, higher speed backing maneuvers or where
there could be cross-traffic. Your judged distances
using the screen will differ from actual distances.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
So if you do not use proper care before backing
up, you could hit a vehicle, child, pedestrian,
bicyclist, or pet, resulting in vehicle damage,
injury, or death. Even though the vehicle has the
RVC system, always check carefully before
backing up by checking behind and around the
vehicle.
The rear vision camera system is designed to help the
driver when backing up by displaying a view of the area
behind the vehicle. When the key is in the ON/RUN
position and the driver shifts the vehicle into R (Reverse),
the video image automatically appears on the inside rear
view mirror. Once the driver shifts out of R (Reverse), the
video image automatically disappears from the inside
rear view mirror.

Turning the Rear Vision Camera System
OfforOn
To turn off the rear vision camera system, press and
hold
z, located on the inside rearview mirror, until the
left indicator light turns off. The rear vision camera
display is now disabled.
To turn the rear vision camera system on again, press
and hold

The rear vision camera system display is now enabled
and the display will appear in the mirror normally.
Rear Vision Camera Location
The camera is located in the rear of the vehicle.
The area displayed by the camera is limited and does
not display objects that are close to either corner or under
the bumper. The area displayed can vary depending on
vehicle orientation or road conditions. The distance of the
image that appears on the screen differs from the actual
distance.
The following illustration shows the eld of view that the
camera provides.
2-45

A. View displayed by the camera.
B. Corner of the rear bumper.
When the System Does Not Seem To
Work Properly
The rear vision camera system might not work properly
or display a clear image if:
The RVC is turned off. See “Turning the Rear
Camera System On or Off” earlier in this section.
It is dark.
The sun or the beam of headlights is shining
directly into the camera lens.
Ice, snow, mud, or anything else builds up on the
camera lens. Clean the lens, rinse it with water,
and wipe it with a soft cloth.
The back of the vehicle is in an accident, the
position and mounting angle of the camera
can change or the camera can be affected.
Be sure to have the camera and its position and
mounting angle checked at your dealer/retailer.
There are extreme temperature changes.
2-46

The rear vision camera system display in the rearview
mirror may turn off or not appear as expected due to one
of the following conditions. If this occurs the left indicator
light on the mirror will ash.
A slow ash may indicate a loss of video signal, or no
video signal present during the reverse cycle.
A fast ash may indicate that the display has been on
for the maximum allowable time during a reverse
cycle, or the display has reached an Over
Temperature limit.
The fast ash conditions are used to protect the video
device from high temperature conditions. Once
conditions return to normal the device will reset and
the green indicator will stop ashing.
During any of these fault conditions, the display will be
blank and the indicator will continue to ash as long
as the vehicle is in R (Reverse) or until the conditions
return to normal.
Pressing and holding
zwhen the left indicator light is
ashing will turn off the video display along with the
left indicator light.
