Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each remote lock control transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your retailer. Remember to bring any
remaining transmitters with you when you go to your
retailer. When the retailer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your retailer has coded the
new transmitter,
the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only four transmitters
matched to it.
See your retailer to match transmitters to
another vehicle.

If, after two seconds, the display does not show a
compass heading
(“N’ for North, for example), there
may be a strong magnetic field interfering with the
compass. Such interference may be caused by a
magnetic antenna mount, magnetic note pad holder
or a similar magnetic item.
Compass Variance
The mirror is set in zone eight upon leaving the factory.
It will be necessary to adjust the compass to compensate
for compass variance if you live outside zone eight.
Under certain circumstances, as during a long distance
cross-country trip, it will be necessary to adjust for
compass variance. Compass variance
is the difference
between earth’s magnetic north and true geographic
north. If not adjusted
to account for compass variance,
your compass could give false readings.
To adjust
for compass variance:
1. Use the COMPASS button located at the bottom of
the mirror.
2. Press and hold the COMPASS button until a zone
number appears in the display.
on the following zone map.
3. Find your current location and variance zone number
4. Press the COMPASS button on the bottom of
the mirror until the new zone number appears
in the display. After you stop pressing the
button, the compass will need to be calibrated.
(This is the automatic calibration mode. Drive in
a circle to calibrate the mirror. See “Compass
Calibration” following.)

Programming the Transmitter
Do not use the universal transmitter with any garage
door opener that does not have the “stop and reverse”
safety feature. This includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April
1, 1982.
rse sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door you are programming. Your
vehicle’s engine should be turned off while
programming your transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:
1. If you have previously programmed a universal
transmitter channel, proceed to Step
2. Otherwise,
hold down the two outside buttons on the universal
transmitter until the red light begins to flash rapidly
(approximately
20 seconds). Then release the
buttons. This procedure initializes the memory and
erases any previous settings for all three channels.
2. Hold the end of your hand-held transmitter against
the bottom surface of the universal transmitter
so
that you can still see the red light.
3. Decide which one of the three channels you want to
program. Using both hands, press the hand-held
transmitter button and the desired button on the
universal transmitter. Continue to hold both buttons
through Step
4.
4. Hold down both buttons until you see the red light
on the universal transmitter flash slowly then
rapidly. The rapid flashing, which could take up
to
90 seconds, indicates that the universal transmitter
has been programmed. Release both buttons
three seconds after the light starts to flash rapidly.

Press ECON again to display instantaneous fuel
economy, such as:
28 INST MUGAL or 8.4 INST WlOO KM
Press again to return to average fuel economy.
The average fuel economy is viewed as a long-term
approximation
of your overall driving conditions.
If you press RESET in this mode while you’re driving,
the system will begin figuring fuel economy from that
point

as:
01:OS ELAPSED TIME
To reset elapsed time to zero, press RESET while the
elapsed time
is displayed.
Date
Press DATE to display the date. To change the date,

to
enter the number. The first XX’s will flash until you
enter the first digit for the month. You don’t need to
enter the leading zero
if the number is under 10. Press
ENTER after you’ve entered the month. The display will change to:
DAY? MM/XX/YY
Set the day just
