TILT/TELESCOPE STEERING COLUMN
Power tilt/telescope steering column
Never adjust the steering wheel when the vehicle is moving.
The steering column can be
adjusted manually by moving the
four-way rocker adjustment control
located on the multi-function
control below the turn signal/wiper
control stalk. The control will adjust
the column as long as held or until
the column reaches the end of
travel.
The telescope function is adjusted
by moving the control toward the
driver to telescope out and moving
the control toward the instrument
panel to telescope in.
The tilt function is adjusted by moving the control up to tilt up and
moving the control down to tilt down.
The steering column positions are automatically saved and can be
recalled along with the vehicle personality features when a memory
position is selected through the remote entry transmitter or memory
switch on the driver's door (if equipped with memory feature).
During easy exit (if activated through the Message Center) operation,
the column will move to the full in and up position. When the key is
inserted into the ignition switch, the column will return to the previous
setting. When you remove the key, the column will move away.
If the steering column adjustment control is pressed during memory
recall it will cancel the automatic operation and the column will respond
to manual adjustment of the control.

MIRRORS
Automatic dimming inside rear view mirror
Your vehicle is equipped with an inside rear view mirror which has an
auto-dimming function. The electronic day/night mirror will change from
the normal state to the non-glare state when bright lights (glare) reach
the mirror. When the mirror detects bright light from front or behind, it
will automatically adjust (darken) to minimize glare.
Do not block the sensor on the backside of the mirror since this may
impair proper mirror performance.

Ensure the mirror is pulled down
low enough to prevent visibility
interference with the overhead
console. The mirror support arm has
two pivot points which lets you
adjust the mirror UP or DOWN and
from SIDE to SIDE.
Press the control to turn the mirror
on or off.
The mirror will automatically return to the normal state whenever the
vehicle is placed in R (Reverse)(when the mirror is on) to ensure a
bright clear view when backing up.
Electronic compass (if equipped)
The compass reading will remain accurate during most driving
conditions. Unknown to the driver, the compass is continuously
recalibrating due to magnetic fields and subtle, slow changes in vehicle
magnetics which can occur over the life of the vehicle.
The compass reading will remain fixed when significant levels are
experienced (such as steel bridges). The compass will return to normal
operation upon leaving the magnetized area.
If highly magnetized items (such as magnetic mount antennas) are
placed very near the compass the display will change to ªCº for 15
seconds, then display all segments until the magnetized item is removed.
If a ªCº is displayed, 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.

Heated outside mirrors
Both mirrors are heated
automatically to remove ice, mist
and fog when the rear window
defrost is activated.

momentarily slower or faster than the set speed. This is normal.
Speed control cannot reduce the vehicle speed if it increases above the
set speed on a downhill. If your vehicle speed is faster than the set
speed while driving on a downhill, you may want to shift to the next
lower gear or apply the brakes to reduce your vehicle speed.
