Conversation mirror
The conversation mirror allows the
driver to view the rear seating area.
This does not replace the
rear view mirror.
Electronic compass/temperature
display (if equipped)
The overhead console may have an
electronic compass and outside air temperature display. The compass
heading and outside air temperature are displayed together - side by
side. The display, as a whole, can be turned on or off by pressing the
momentary push-button on the overhead console. When the vehicle is
turned off, the electronics display will remember the last display state.
Outside air temperature
The temperature can be displayed in
either Centigrade or Fahrenheit.
This is controlled via the Message
Center. Please refer to theMessage
Centerin this chapter to change
from English to metric. The ignition
key must be in the ON or
ACCESSORY position.
If the outside temperature falls
below 3°C (38°F), the display will alternate from “ICE” to the outside
temperature at a two second rate for one minute.
Compass
The vehicle heading is displayed as one of N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W and
NW.
The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large
buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antenna. Magnetic
or metallic objects placed in or on the vehicle may also affect compass
accuracy. Adjustments may need to be made to the zone and calibration
of the compass.

Power vent windows
Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle and do not let
children play with the power vent windows. They may seriously
injure themselves.
When closing the power vent windows, you should verify they
are free of obstructions and ensure that children and/or pets are
not in the proximity of the window openings.
The power vent windows are
operated by a single switch located
on the instrument panel. Press and
hold the bottom of the switch to
open or the top of the switch to
close both vent windows.
A sound will be heard when opening
and closing the vent windows. This
is a normal noise that informs you
the windows are operating.
EXTERIOR MIRRORS
Automatic dimming inside rear view mirror (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with
an inside rear view mirror with an
auto-dimming function. The
electronic day/night mirror will
change from the normal (high
reflective) state to the non-glare
(darkened) state when bright lights (glare) reach the mirror. When the
mirror detects bright light from behind the vehicle, it will automatically
adjust (darken) to minimize glare.
The mirror will automatically return to the normal state whenever the
vehicle is placed in R (Reverse) to ensure a bright clear view when
backing up.
Do not block the sensor on the backside of the inside rear view mirror
since this may impair proper mirror performance.

Heated outside mirrors
(if equipped)
Both mirrors are heated
automatically to remove ice, mist
and fog when the rear window
defrost is activated.
Do not remove ice from the
mirrors with a scraper or
attempt to readjust the mirror
glass if it is frozen in place.
These actions could cause damage to the glass and mirrors.
Signal indicator mirrors (if equipped)
When the turn signal is activated,
the appropriate mirror will show a
blinking yellow arrow. When the
park lamps are on, the blinking
arrow will be dimmer.
The arrow provides an additional
warning to other drivers that your
vehicle is about to turn.
When the sliding door is open, the indicator in the appropriate mirror
will flash indicating people may be entering/exiting the vehicle.
