OVERHEAD CONSOLE (IF EQUIPPED)
The appearance of your vehicle’s overhead console will vary according to
your option package.
Conversation mirror
The conversation mirror allows the
driver to view the rear seating area.
This does not replace the
rear view mirror.
Electronic compass/temperature
display (if equipped)
The overhead console may have an
electronic compass and outside air temperature display. The compass
heading and outside air temperature are displayed together - side by
side.
The display, as a whole, can be
turned on or off by pressing the
momentary push-button on the
overhead console. When the vehicle
is turned off, the electronics display
will remember the last display state.
Outside air temperature
The temperature can be displayed in
either Centigrade or Fahrenheit.
This is controlled via the Message
Center. Please refer to theMessage Centerin this chapter to change
from English to metric. The ignition key must be in the ON or
ACCESSORY position.
If the outside temperature falls below 3°C (38°F), the display will
alternate from “ICE” to the outside temperature at a two second rate for
one minute.
Compass
The vehicle heading is displayed as one of N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W and
NW.
The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large
buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antenna. Magnetic

The power vent windows are
operated by a single switch located
on the instrument panel. Press and
hold the bottom of the switch to
open or the top of the switch to
close both vent windows.
A sound will be heard when opening
and closing the vent windows. This
is a normal noise that informs you
the windows are operating.
AUTOMATIC DIMMING INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle may be equipped with
an inside rear view mirror with an
auto-dimming function. The
electronic day/night mirror will
change from the normal (high
reflective) state to the non-glare
(darkened) state when bright lights
(glare) reach the mirror. When the mirror detects bright light from
behind the vehicle, it will automatically adjust (darken) to minimize
glare.
The mirror will automatically return to the normal state whenever the
vehicle is placed in R (Reverse) to ensure a bright clear view when
backing up.
Do not block the sensor on the backside of the inside rear view mirror
since this may impair proper mirror performance.

1. Rotate the control clockwise to
adjust the right mirror and rotate
the control counterclockwise to
adjust the left mirror.
2. Move the control in the direction
you wish to tilt the mirror.
3. Return to the center position to
lock mirrors in place.
