MIRRORS

The mirror should be adjusted to center on the view
through the rear window. A two-point pivot system
allows for horizontal and vertical adjustment of the
mirror. The mirror should be adjusted while set in the
day position (toward windshield).
Annoying headlight glare from vehicles behind you can
be reduced by moving the small control under the mirror
to the night position (toward rear of vehicle).

recall memory positions.
Your vehicle was delivered to you with two remote
keyless entry transmitters. They are color coded to match
the memory buttons on the driver's door. These trans-
mitters work in conjunction with the number ª1º (black)
and number ª2º (gray) memory seat buttons on the
driver's door. Once the memory button has been set, the
corresponding remote keyless entry transmitter is also
set.NOTE:If the memory system is not set to your desired
positions, the seat and driver's mirror will default to the
factory setting each time the Keyless Entry Transmitter is
used.
To set the memory buttons follow this procedure:
1. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.

order a new transmitter from your local authorized
dealer. You must designate transmitter #1 or #2. Your
authorized dealer will have to program your vehicle to
match the new transmitter.

Rain Sensitive Wiper System Ð If Equipped
The rain sensitive wiper system provides you with the
convenience of automatically detecting moisture on your
windshield and turning on the wipers at the appropriate
speed. The Rain Sensor is located above the rear view
mirror and reacts to any moisture present in the area of
the sensor.To activate the rain sensitive wiper system, turn the front
wiper control lever to AUTO. When you turn the lever to
AUTO, the wipers will operate a single wipe cycle. The
wipers will also cycle once when you start the vehicle if
the lever was left in AUTO.
There are five AUTO positions on the lever to allow you
to select system sensitivity that best suits you. The lowest
position (closest to OFF) is the least sensitive to rain and
the highest position is the most sensitive. If you select a
low sensitivity position on the control lever, the system
will be slower to react to rain and wipe only after some
rain accumulates on the windshield. If you select a high
sensitivity position, the system will be very quick to react
to rain drops and will wipe more often. If it is raining
steadily, the wipers will wipe continuously regardless of
what sensitivity the lever is. If the rain is heavy, the
wipers will operate in high speed. Every time you move
the lever to a higher sensitivity, the wipers will immedi-
ately operate a single wipe cycle.
