Flexible visor storage system (if equipped)
Visors equipped with the flexible visor storage system can accommodate
various storage accessories. A sunglass clip and multi-function clip are
provided.
To attach one of the accessories, do
the following:
1. Insert a coin or similar object into
the slot on the plug and turn
1/4-turn in either direction to
remove. It may be necessary to
rotate the visor until the plug drops
away from the opening. When not in
use, place the plug in the provided
holder.
2. Insert the end of the storage accessory into the visor opening and turn
1/4-turn in either direction until the accessory snaps into place. For best
results, ensure the open end of the accessory is facing away from the
windshield.
3. Reverse the procedure to remove the accessory and replace the cap or
change to a different accessory.
Additional accessories are available from your authorized dealer. See the
Accessorieschapter for more information.
ELECTRONIC COMPASS (IF EQUIPPED)
The compass heading is displayed in the center integrated display (CID).
The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large
buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antenna. Magnetic
or metallic objects placed in, on or near the vehicle may also affect
compass accuracy.
Usually, when something affects the compass readings, the compass will
correct itself after a few days of operating your vehicle in normal
conditions. If the compass still appears to be inaccurate, a manual
calibration may be necessary. Refer toCompass calibration
adjustment.
Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that
varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four
degrees between adjacent zones and will become noticeable as the
vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting will eliminate this
error. Refer toCompass zone adjustment.

AUXILIARY POWER POINT (12V DC)
Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert
any other object in the power outlet as this will damage the
outlet and blow the fuse. Do not hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use of the power
outlet can cause damage not covered by your warranty.
Auxiliary power points can be found in the following locations:
•On the instrument panel
•Inside the center console storage bin
Do not use the power point for operating the cigarette lighter element (if
equipped).
To prevent the fuse from being blown, do not use the power point(s)
over the vehicle capacity of 12VDC/180W/15A. If the power point or cigar
lighter socket is not working, a fuse may have blown. Refer toFuses and
relaysin theRoadside Emergencieschapter for information on
checking and replacing fuses.
To have full capacity usage of your power point, the engine is required to
be running to avoid unintentional discharge of the battery. To prevent
the battery from being discharged:
•do not use the power point longer than necessary when the engine is
not running,
•do not leave battery chargers, video game adapters, computers and
other devices plugged in overnight or when the vehicle is parked for
extended periods.
Always keep the power point caps closed when not being used.
POWER WINDOWS
WARNING:Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle and
do not let children play with the power windows. They may
seriously injure themselves.
WARNING:When closing the power windows, you should verify
they are free of obstructions and ensure that children and/or
pets are not in the proximity of the window openings.

Press and pull the switches to open
and close windows.
•Press down (to the first detent)
and hold the switch to open.
•Pull up (to the first detent) and
hold the switch to close.
One-touch up or down (front windows only)
This feature allows the driver or passenger’s window to open or close
fully without holding the control down.
To operate one-touch down, press the switch completely down to the
second detent and release quickly. The window will open fully.
Momentarily press the switch to any position to stop the window
operation.
To operate one-touch up, pull the switch completely up to the second
detent and release quickly. The window will close fully. Momentarily
press the switch to any position to stop the window operation.
Restoring the one-touch up functionality (front windows only)
Under low battery power conditions, one-touch up only functionality may
be lost. To reset this function after restoring full battery power, pull the
switch to the one-touch up position, hold the switch until the glass
reaches the stall position and continue to hold for two seconds. Press the
window switch down and operate the window to the full down position.
One-touch up will now be functional.Perform one-touch up
re-calibration with the door closed only. Calibrating with the door
open will cause the window to continuously bounce back.
Bounce-back (front windows only)
When an obstacle has been detected in the window opening as the
window is moving upward, the window will automatically move down and
stop.
Bounce-back override (front windows only)
To override bounce-back, within two seconds after reaching bounce-back
position, if the switch is moved from the neutral to the express-up
positionthe window will travel up with no bounce-back protection.
If the switch is released before the window reaches fully closed position,
the window will stop. For example: bounce-back override can be used to
overcome the resistance of ice on the window or seals.

Short drop glass (front windows only)
In order to improve door efforts and sealing, your vehicle is equipped
with short drop glass. This feature lowers the glass when either door is
opened. The glass returns to its closed position when the door is closed.
Proper operation of the short drop glass requires that the windows be
calibrated.Though your windows will have been calibrated before
your vehicle is delivered to you, it is possible for the windows to
lose calibration.If a window loses its calibration, your short drop
feature will lower the window, but will not raise it again when the door is
closed. To re-calibrate the window, pull the switch up to raise the
window until it completes its travel and hold the switch up for two
seconds. Another possible effect of lost calibration is that the feature
may not lower the window. To re-calibrate the window in this case, lower
the window until it completes its travel and hold the switch down for
two seconds. Immediately after releasing the window switch, pull the
switch up to raise the window until it completes its travel and hold the
switch up for two seconds.Perform short drop re-calibration with
doors closed only. Re-calibrating with doors open will cause the
window to continuously bounce back.
Rear power windows (convertible only)
The rear quarter windows are operated by a single window switch
located at the driver door window controls. Press and pull the window
switch to open and close the windows.
•Press down and hold the switch to open.
•Pull up and hold the switch to close.
Rear power windows manual override (convertible only)

conditions:
•Convertible top is moving
•Convertible top is not completely up or down
In the event that the rear quarter window switch does not operate when
the convertible top is completely up or down, the rear quarter windows
can be manually raised up.
The following procedure must be performed within two minutes:
1. Turn the ignition key to the off position, then turn back to the on

INTERIOR MIRROR
The interior rear view mirror has two pivot points on the support arm
which lets you adjust the mirror up or down and from side to side.
WARNING:Do not adjust the mirror while the vehicle is in
motion.
Automatic dimming interior rear view mirror (if equipped)
The interior rear view mirror has 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 sensors on the front and back of the interior
rear view mirror since this may impair proper mirror
performance.
Note:A rear center passenger and/or raised rear center headrest (if
equipped) may also block the light from reaching the sensor.
Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror with harsh
abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based cleaning products.
Note:If equipped with a rearview camera system, a video image will
display in the mirror or the navigation system display (if equipped) when
the vehicle is put in R (Reverse). As you shift into any other gear from R
(Reverse), the image will remain for a few seconds and then turn off.
