Compass Calibration
The compass may need calibration if one of the
following occurs:
If CAL is displayed while driving in the vehicle.
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,
press and hold the COMP button 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.
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, do the following:
1. Find your current location and variance
zone number on the following zone map.
2. Press and hold the COMP button until a zone
number appears in the display.
142

3. Press the COMP button 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 compass
direction within a few seconds.
Passenger Airbag Indicator
The mirror may be equipped with a passenger
airbag indicator on the mirror glass, just above the
buttons. If the vehicle has this feature the mirror
will display the word ON, or an airbag symbol
in Canada, when the passenger airbag is enabled.
For more information seePassenger Sensing
System on page 82.
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 Manual Mirrors
If the vehicle has the manual outside mirrors,
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.
Both mirrors can be manually folded inward
by pulling them towards the vehicle. Push the
mirrors away from the vehicle, to the normal
position, before driving.
Outside Power Mirrors
Your vehicle may have this feature. The power
mirror control is located on the driver’s door.
Turn the knob counterclockwise or clockwise to
adjust the driver’s or passenger’s mirror so
that you can see a little of the side of your vehicle.
After adjusting the position of the mirrors, turn
the knob to the center position so that the mirrors
cannot move.
If the travel position in any direction of the mirror is
reached, it will enter a ratcheting mode. This action
is harmless. It is a warning that the mirror can go no
further. To stop this action, back the mirror up by
moving the knob in the opposite direction.The mirrors can be manually folded inward to
prevent damage when going through an automatic
car wash. To fold, push the mirror toward the
vehicle. To return the mirror to its original position,
push outward. Be sure to return both mirrors to
their original unfolded position before driving.
Outside Curb View Assist Mirror
If the vehicle has this feature, the passenger’s
outside mirror will adjust to a preset tilt position
while the vehicle is in REVERSE (R) gear.
Curb view assist may be useful when you are
parallel parking. The mirror will return to normal
position when the vehicle is shifted out of
REVERSE (R) gear. Automatic mirror movement
in either direction will follow a short delay.
You may be able to turn this feature on or off
through the Driver Information Center (DIC). See
DIC Vehicle Customization on page 229.

Outside Convex Mirror
{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 or left lane, you could hit a
vehicle. Check your inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
The passenger’s outside mirror is convex.
A convex mirror’s surface is curved so more
can be seen from the driver’s seat.
Outside Heated Mirrors
Your vehicle may have this feature. When you
operate the rear window defogger, the defogger
also warms the heated driver’s and passenger’s
outside rearview mirrors to help clear them of ice,
snow and condensation.

Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and
two downward (for left) positions. These positions
let you signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or
down. When the turn is nished, the lever
returns automatically.
An arrow on the
instrument panel cluster
ashes in the direction
of the turn or lane
change.
To signal a lane change, raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to ash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever returns
by itself when released. The bottom of the outside
rearview mirrors might also have lane change
indicators.As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the
arrows ash more quickly than normal, a signal
bulb could be burned out and other drivers will not
see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when
you signal a turn, check the fuse. SeeFuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 493and check for
burned-out bulbs.
If you have a trailer towing option with added
wiring for the trailer lamps, a turn signal asher is
used. With this asher installed, the signal
indicator ashes even if a turn signal bulb is
burned out. Check the front and rear turn signal
lamps regularly to make sure they are working.
Turn Signal On Chime
If your turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 of a
mile (1.2 km), a chime sounds at each ash of
the turn signal. To turn off the chime, move
the turn signal lever to the off position.

repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license,
tape, a decal or anything similar to the
defogger grid.
Dual Automatic Climate Control

cooling and ventilation for your vehicle. When your
vehicle is rst started and the climate control

Rear Window Defogger
If your vehicle has the rear window defogger a
warming grid is used to remove fog from the
rear window.
<(Rear):Press this button to turn the rear
window defogger on or off.
An indicator light in the button will come on

pressed. If you need additional warming time,
press the button again.
If your vehicle has heated mirrors, they will come
on when this button is pressed.
Notice:Do not use a razor blade or sharp
object to clear the inside rear window. Do not
adhere anything to the defogger grid lines
in the rear glass. These actions may damage
the rear defogger. Repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.
Outlet Adjustment
Use the air outlets located in the center and on the
side of the instrument panel to direct the airow.
Operation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlets free of ice,
snow, or any other obstruction, such as
leaves. The heater and defroster will work
better, reducing the chance of fogging
the inside of your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, set
the fan speed to maximum airow for a few
moments before driving. This helps clear
the intake ducts of snow and moisture, and
reduces the chance of fogging the inside
of your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear
of objects. This helps air to circulate
throughout your vehicle.
Adding outside equipment to the front of the
vehicle, such as hood-air deectors, may
affect the performance of the heating and air
conditioning system. Check with your
dealer before adding equipment to the outside
of your vehicle.

Passenger Airbag Status Indicator
Your vehicle has the passenger sensing system.
Your rearview mirror has a passenger airbag
status indicator.When the ignition key is turned to RUN or START,
the passenger airbag status indicator will light
ON and OFF, or the symbol for on and off,
for several seconds as a system check. Then,
after several more seconds, the status indicator
will light either ON or OFF, or either the on
or off symbol to let you know the status of the
right front passenger’s frontal airbag.
If the word ON or the on symbol is lit on the
passenger airbag status indicator, it means that
the right front passenger’s frontal airbag is enabled
(may inate).
