AUTO -DIMMIN g MIRRORS AND hOME LINK®
•
Auto-dimming automatically
darkens your rearview
mirror and both outside
door mirrors to reduce
headlight glare from the
vehicles behind you.
• Auto-dimming is activated
every time the vehicle
is started.
NOTE:

•
Both door mirrors will appear to have a halo, or ring, around the outer edge of
the mirror surface. This is actually the electrical circuitry that allows the mirrors
to dim. This is normal operation of the mirrors.

• In addition to the auto-dimming mirror’s front light sensor, there is also a
rear light sensor (not shown). Do not place or hang any objects over the front
or rear mirror light sensors; other wise, the auto-dimming mirrors will not
operate properly.
homeLink®
•
This feature provides a convenient way to replace up to three
transmitters such as garage door openers, home lighting remotes
and other radio frequency devices.
• Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete programming details.

B LIND S POT MONITORIN g (BSM) SYSTEM
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is designed to assist the driver
by monitoring the blind spots to the rear of the vehicle on both sides.
• If your vehicle speed is 20 mph (32 km/h) or more, the BSM will warn
you of vehicles in the detection area by illuminating the BSM warning
lights located on the left and right door mirrors.
• If you operate a turn signal in the direction of an illuminated BSM
warning light, the system will also warn you with a beep and warning
light flash.
• BSM sensors are located under the left and right rear bumper areas.
The BSM system may not operate properly if the rear bumper gets too
dirty, so keep the rear bumper area clean.
Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
