Temperature and Compass Display
Press the on/off button, located to the far left, briey
to turn the comp/temp display on or off.
If the display reads CAL, the compass needs to
be calibrated. See the information following
on calibration.
To adjust between Fahrenheit and Celsius, do the
following:
1. Press and hold the on/off button until either a
ashing °F or °C appears.
2. Press the button again to change the display
to the desired unit of measurement. After
approximately four seconds of inactivity, the
new unit will be locked in and the display
will return.
Compass Calibration
The compass may need calibration from time
to time.
In order to calibrate, CAL must be displayed in the
mirror compass windows. If CAL is not displayed,
push in the on/off button for approximately
nine seconds or until CAL is displayed.
The compass can be calibrated by driving the
vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until
the display reads a direction, or the word CAL
disappears.
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 of 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.

Rear Window Wiper/Washer
The band on the wiper lever with the smaller
arrow operates the rear wiper/washer.
9(Off):Turn the band to this position to turn off
the rear wiper.
Z(Rear Wiper):Turn the band with the smaller
arrow to this position to turn on the rear wiper.
To set for a shorter or longer delay between wipes,
turn the other band with the larger arrow pointing
to the numbers (1, 2, or 3). Select 3 for the
most frequent movement; select 1 for the least
frequent. The band with the arrow pointing to the
numbers (1, 2, or 3) will affect both the front
and rear wipers if they are on at the same time.
Y(Wash):Turn and hold the band in this position
to spray washer uid on the rear window.
The rear wiper will also come on. Release the
band when enough uid has been sprayed on the
window. The rear wiper will run a few additional
times after you release it.
The rear window washer uses the same uid bottle
as the windshield washer. However, the rear
window washer will run out of uid before the
windshield washer. If you can wash your windshield
but not your rear window, check the uid level.
Cruise Control
With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of
about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more without
keeping your foot on the accelerator. This can
really help on long trips. Cruise control does not
work at speeds below 25 mph (40 km/h).
{CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where
you cannot drive safely at a steady speed.
So, do not use your cruise control on
winding roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on
slippery roads. On such roads, fast
changes in tire traction can cause
excessive wheel slip, and you could lose
control. Do not use cruise control on
slippery roads.

Climate Controls
Climate Control System
With this system you can control the heating,
cooling, and ventilation for the vehicle.
Operation
To change the current mode, use the right knob to
select one of the following:
H(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs air to the
instrument panel outlets and to the oor outlets.
Cooler air is directed to the upper outlets and
warmer air to the oor outlets.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to
the oor outlets with some air directed to the
windshield.
When the oor mode is selected, the system will
turn recirculation mode off and run the air
conditioning compressor unless the outside air is
at or below freezing. Entering this mode may
force the engine into the start/stop mode. See “Air
Conditioning and Engine Start/Stop” later in this
section. Recirculation mode cannot be selected
while in oor mode. This helps prevent window
fogging and moisture building up within the cabin.
The right knob can also be used to select defog
or defrost mode. See “Defogging and Defrosting”
later in this section.
