MIRRORS
Outside Mirrors
Before driving, adjust the inside and
outside mirrors.
Mirror Types:
Flat Type (Driver Side): flat surface
mirror.
Convex Type (Passenger Side): this
mirror has a slight curve.
Note:
The passenger side convex outside
mirror will give a much wider view to the
rear, and especially of the lane next to
your vehicle.
The outside mirrors may be equipped
with a heated mirror system. Refer to
“Climate Controls” for more information.
The perceived distance of objects in the
outer and inner regions of the wide
angle mirror is different.
Warning!
Vehicles and other objects seen in the
passenger side convex mirror will look
smaller and farther away than they really
are. Relying too much on your passenger
side mirror could cause you to collide with
another vehicle or other object. Use your
inside mirror when judging the size or
distance of a vehicle seen in the passenger
side mirror.
Inside Day / Night Mirror
Rear View Mirror Adjustment
Before driving, adjust the rear view
mirror to center on the view through the
rear window.
Note: For the manual mirror, perform
the adjustment with the lever in the day
position. Reducing Glare From Headlights
1. Push the lever forward for day
driving (A position).
2. Pull it back to reduce glare of

Variable-speed intermittent wipers
Set the lever to the intermittent position
and choose the interval timing by
rotating the switch.
With auto-wiper control
Switch positions:
orMIST: operation while
pulling up lever
OFF: stop
AUTO: auto control operation
— orLO: low speed operation
=or HI: high speed operation
Auto-wiper control
When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
position, the rain sensor will sense the
amount of rainfall on the windshield and
turns the wipers on or off automatically
(off/intermittent/low speed/high speed).
Adjusting rain sensor sensitivity
The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be
adjusted by rotating the switch on the
wiper lever.
From the center position (normal),
rotate the switch downward for higher
sensitivity (+) (faster response) or rotate
it upward for less sensitivity (-) (slower
response).
Note: Do not shade the rain sensor by
placing a sticker or a label on the
windshield. Otherwise the rain sensor
will not operate correctly. When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
position and the ignition is switched
ON, the wipers may move automatically
in the following cases:
If the windshield above the rain
sensor is touched or wiped with a cloth.
If the windshield is struck with a hand
or other object from either outside or
inside the vehicle.
Warning!
Keep hands and scrapers clear of the
windshield when the wiper lever is in the
AUTO position and the ignition is switched
ON as fingers could be pinched or the
wipers and wiper blades damaged when
the wipers activate automatically.
If you are going to clean the windshield,
be sure the wipers are turned off. This
is important when clearing ice and
snow.
Switching the auto-wiper lever from the
OFF to the AUTO position while driving
activates the windshield wipers once,
after which they operate according to
the rainfall amount.
The auto-wiper control may not operate
when the rain sensor temperature is
about 14 °F (–10 °C) or lower, or about
185 °F (85 °C) or higher.
If the windshield is coated with water
repellent, the rain sensor may not be able to sense the amount of rainfall
correctly and auto-wiper control may
not operate properly.
If dirt or debris (such as ice or debris
containing salt water) adheres to the
windshield above the rain sensor or if
the windshield is iced, it could cause
the wipers to move automatically.
However, if the wipers cannot remove
this ice, dirt or debris, the auto-wiper
control will stop operation. In this case,
set the wiper lever to the low speed
position or high speed position for
manual operation, or remove the ice,
dirt or debris by hand to restore the
auto-wiper operation.
If the auto-wiper lever is left in the
AUTO position, the wipers could
operate automatically from the effect of
strong light sources, electromagnetic
waves, or infrared light because the rain
sensor uses an optical sensor.
It is recommended that the auto-wiper
lever be switched to the OFF position
other than when driving the vehicle
under rainy conditions.
The auto-wiper control functions can be
turned off.
Because heavy ice and snow can jam
the wiper blades, the wiper motor is
protected from motor breakdown,
overheating and possible fire by a
circuit breaker. This mechanism will
automatically stop operation of the
blades, but only for about five minutes.
If this happens, turn off the wiper switch
43

and park off the road and remove the
snow and ice. After five minutes, turn
on the switch and the blades should
operate normally. If they do not resume
functioning, contact an authorized
dealer as soon as possible. Drive to the
side of the road and pull off the side of
the road to a safe location. Wait until
the weather clears before trying to drive
with the wipers inoperative.
Windshield Washer
Pull the lever toward you and hold it to
spray washer fluid.
With the wiper lever in the OFF,
intermittent position or AUTO position,
the wipers will operate continuously
until the lever is released.
Warning!
Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision. You
might not see other vehicles or other
obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the
windshield during freezing weather, warm
the windshield with defroster before and
during windshield washer use.
If the fluid level is normal and the
washer does not work, contact an
authorized dealer.
With headlight washers
When the headlights are on, the
headlight washers operate
automatically once every fifth time the
windshield washer operates.CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
Operating Tips
The air conditioning system will only
operate with the engine running.
To prevent the battery from being
discharged while the engine is off, do
not leave the fan control dial on for
extended periods of time.
To improve system efficiency, clear all
obstructions (leaves, snow and ice)
from the hood and the air inlet in the
grille.
Use the air conditioning system to
defog the windows and dehumidify the
air.
Recirculation mode should be used
when driving through tunnels, while in a
traffic jam, or when you would like to
quickly cool the interior by shutting off
the exterior vents.
Use the outside air position for
ventilation or windscreen defrosting.
If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows to let warm air escape, and
then run the air conditioning system.
To keep the internal parts lubricated
and the system running smoothly, run
the air conditioner about 10 minutes at
least once a month.

HOMELINK — IF
EQUIPPED
General Information
The HomeLink system replaces up to
three hand-held transmitters with a
single built-in component in the
auto-dimming mirror. Pressing the
HomeLink button on the auto-dimming
mirror activates garage doors, gates
and other devices surrounding your
home.
Note:HomeLink and HomeLink house
icon are registered trademarks of
Gentex Corporation.
Warning!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run
your vehicle in the garage while
programming the transceiver. Exhaust gas
can cause serious injury or death.
Your motorized door or gate will open
and close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the
transceiver if people, pets or other objects
are in the path of the door or gate. Only
use this transceiver with a garage door
opener that has a “stop and reverse”
feature as required by Federal safety
standards. This includes most garage door
opener models manufactured after 1982. Do not use a garage door opener without
these safety features. Call toll-free
1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet at
HomeLink.com for safety information or
assistance.
Pre-Programming The
System
Note:
It is recommended that a new
battery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being
programmed to HomeLink for quicker
training and accurate transmission of
the radio-frequency signal.
Proceed as follows:
1. Verify that there is a remote control
transmitter available for the device you
would like to program.
2. Disconnect the power to the device.
Programming The
System
Note: When programming a garage
door opener or a gate, disconnect the
power to these devices before
performing programming. Continuous
operation of the devices could damage
the motor. The HomeLink system provides three
buttons which can be individually
selected and programmed using the
transmitters for current, on-market
devices as follows:
1. Disconnect power to the device
being programmed.
2. Position the end of your handheld
transmitter one to three inches (2.5 -
7.5 cm ) away from the HomeLink
button you wish to program while
keeping the indicator light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both
the chosen HomeLink and hand-held
transmitter buttons.
Do not release
the buttons until step four has been
completed
