ton, the auto-dimming function is toggled
on or off. When the auto-dimming function
is on, the auto dimming indicator light
(green) will illuminate.
Even with the mirror in anti-glare mode,
the mirror surface turns bright if the
transmission is shifted into reverse. This
is to ensure good rearward visibility duringreversing.

The mirror has a photosensor attached on
both the front and back sides. Use care
not to cover the sensors with stickers, or
other similar items. Periodically wipe the
sensors clean using a piece of dry soft
cotton cloth or an applicator. NOTE
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper
towel or similar item dampened with

ton for 9 to 12 seconds, and then release
it. The compass will enter the calibration
mode, then “C ” and the direction will be
displayed.
4. Drive slowly in a circle until “C ”
disappears from the display. Driving in
two or three circles might be necessary.
The compass is now calibrated.
5. Further calibration may be necessary
should outside influences cause the com-
pass to read inaccurately. You will notice
any outside influence if the compass tends
to read in only one particular direction.
Should you encounter this situation, return
to step 1 of the above procedure and
recalibrate the compass. Instruments and controls

Photosensors
The mirror has a photosensor attached on
both the front and back sides. If the glare
from the headlights of vehicles behind you
strikes the mirror, these sensors detect it
and make the reflection surface of the
mirror dimmer to help prevent you from
being blinded. For this reason, use care
not to cover the sensors with stickers, or
other similar items. Periodically wipe the sensors clean using a piece of dry soft
cotton cloth or an applicator. !

!Outside mirror defogger
The outside mirror defogger shares the
control switch with the rear window de-
fogger. Therefore, the outside mirror de-
fogger always operates with the rear
window defogger.
If the rear window defogger is set to the
continuous operation mode, the outside
mirror defogger also follows the contin-
uous setting.
For details, refer to “Rear window defog-
ger button ”F 3-36.
CAUTION
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not operate the de-
fogger continuously for any longer than necessary.

only when the ignition switch is in the “ON ”
or “Acc ”position.
To fold the outside mirrors, push the power
folding mirror switch. To unfold the mirrors,
push the switch again.
NOTE . When the temperature is low, the
outside mirrors may stop during opera-
tion. Push the switch again. When the
outside mirrors do not work by switch
operation, move them several times manually. This makes it possible to
operate them by switch operation..
When you operate the power folding
mirror switch continuously, it may
temporarily stop working. This is not
a malfunction. Operate it again after
waiting for a short period of time.. When you unfold the outside mirrors
manually, the mirrors may become
unstable. Be sure to unfold the mirrors
by switch operation. If the outside
mirrors are still unstable, fold the
mirrors again manually and then unfold

&Rear air conditioner
The rear air conditioner blows cool air out
of the rear ventilators while the “A/C ”
button on the control panel is in the “ON ”
position. The fan speed of the rear air
conditioner can be adjusted using the rear
air conditioner dial behind the center
console. The fan speed can be adjusted
in four steps by turning the dial. Turn the
dial to the “OFF ”position to stop the fan.
NOTE . When the “A/C ”button is in the
“ OFF ”position and when the “A/C ”
indicator is not illuminated during
AUTO mode operation, the air condi-
tioner compressor does not operate,
meaning that the system merely blows
uncooled air out of the ventilators. .
The outlet air temperature of the rear
air conditioner cannot be adjusted.. The rear air conditioner cannot be
used as a heater. & Temperature sensors
1) Interior air temperature sensor
2) Solar sensor
The automatic climate control system
employs several sensors. These sensors
are delicate. If they are treated incorrectly
and become damaged, the system may
not be able to control the interior tempera-
ture correctly. To avoid damaging the
sensors, observe the following precau-tions. – Do not subject the sensors to impact.
– Keep water away from the sensors. –
Do not cover the sensors.
The sensors are located as follows.– Solar sensor: beside windshield
defroster grille– Interior air temperature sensor: on the
side of the driver-side part of the center panel – Outside temperature sensor: behind
