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, such 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. Find your current location and variance zone number
on the following zone map.
2. Press and hold both map lamp buttons on the bottom
of the mirror, for five to eight seconds, until the zone
number appears in the display.
3. Press the right lamp button to increase the zone
numbers or press the left lamp button to decrease the
zone numbers. After you have selected your zone
number, the display will show a compass direction
after five seconds. (Compass calibration may be
necessary. See ªCompass Calibrationº in the Index.)

2-44 Power Outside Mirrors
The power mirror control is
located near the driver's
window, on the armrest.
Press the left side of the top switch to adjust the driver's
side mirror, or press the right side of the switch to adjust
the passenger's side mirror. Then press the lower control
in the direction you want to move the mirror.
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.
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.
Heated Outside Mirrors (If Equipped)
The driver's and passenger's side outside mirrors will
heat when you activate the rear window defogger.
See ªRear Window Defoggerº in the Index.

2-46 Convenience Net (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may have a convenience net. You'll see it
on the back wall of the trunk.
Put small loads, like grocery bags, behind the net. It can
help keep them from falling over during sharp turns or
quick starts and stops.
The net isn't for larger, heavier loads. Store them in the
trunk as far forward as you can.
You can unhook the net so that it will lie flat when
you're not using it. You can also push the net down and
hook it under the plastic hooks.
Ashtrays and Cigarette Lighter
When your vehicle is delivered, the cigarette lighter
assembly will be in a plastic bag placed in the center
console storage area. The ashtray is available upon
request from your dealer. If the ashtray and lighter are
needed, insert the ashtray and holder into the stationary,
open cupholder in front of the shift lever.
The lighter outlet is located behind a flip
-out door below
the heating and air conditioning controls.

To block out the glare, you can swing down the visors.
You can also swing them from front to side. The visors
have extenders that you can pull out for added coverage.
Visor Vanity Mirrors
Open the cover to expose the vanity mirror. If your
vehicle has the optional lighted vanity mirrors, the
lamps will come on when you open the cover.

included with any electrical equipment you install.
