AUTOMATIC DIMMING INSIDE
REAR VIEW MIRROR
(IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle is equipped with an
inside rear view mirror which has
an auto-dimming function
(available as an option on the
outside driver's side mirror). 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.
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.

SECURILOCKYANTI-THEFT
SYSTEM
The SecuriLockyanti-theft system
provides an advanced level of
vehicle theft protection. Your
vehicle's engine can only be started
with the two special SecuriLocky
electronically coded keys provided
with your vehicle. Each time you
start your vehicle, the
SecuriLockykey is read by the
SecuriLockyanti-theft system. If
the SecuriLockykey identification
code matches the code stored in
the SecuriLockyanti-theft system,
the vehicle's engine is allowed to
start. If the SecuriLockykey
identification code does not match
the code stored in the system or if
a SecuriLockykey is not detected
(vehicle theft situation), the
vehicle's engine will not operate.
Spare SecuriLockykeys can be
purchased from your dealership
and programmed to your
SecuriLockyanti-theft system.
