Automatic Dimming Mirror Operation
The time period you need to press and hold
the TEMP button to turn the automatic dimming
feature on or off is approximately eight seconds.
The indicator light to the left of the TEMP
button will still turn on or off to show you when the
automatic dimming feature is activated. Once
the mirror is turned off, it will remain off until it is
turned back on, or until the vehicle is restarted.
Compass Operation
Press the COMP button once briey to turn the
compass on or off.
When the ignition and the compass feature are
on, the compass will show two character boxes for
approximately two seconds. After two seconds,
the mirror will display the compass heading.
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,
push in the COMP button for approximately
eight seconds or 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.
181

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:
1. Find your current location and variance zone
number on the following zone map.
2. Press and hold the COMP button for ve
seconds until a zone number appears in
the display.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

will display the word ON, or an airbag symbol
in Canada, when the passenger airbag is enabled.

If the vehicle has the memory package, the outside
mirrors are able to perform the curb view assist
mirror function. This feature will cause the
passenger’s and/or driver’s mirror to tilt to a
preselected position when the vehicle is in

allowing the driver to view the curb when parallel
parking. When the vehicle is shifted out of
REVERSE (R) and a short delay has occurred,
the passenger’s and/or driver’s mirror will return to
its original position.
To change the preselected tilt position, adjust the
mirrors to the desired position while the vehicle
is in REVERSE (R). When the vehicle is shifted
out of REVERSE (R), this new position is saved in
memory as the tilt position.
This feature can be turned on or off through the
Driver Information Center (DIC). SeeDriver
Information Center (DIC) on page 265for more
information.

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.
Your passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so you can see more
from the driver’s seat.

the button is pressed. Press the button again if
additional warming time is needed.
