&Type C inside mirror (if
equipped)
1) Left button2) Auto dimming indicator3) Photosensor4) Right button
This mirror has an anti-glare feature whichautomatically reduces glare coming fromheadlights of vehicles behind you. It alsocontains a built-in compass.
.By pressing and releasing the leftbutton, the automatic dimming function istoggled on or off. When the automaticdimming function is on, the auto dimmingindicator light (green) located to the rightof the button will illuminate.
.By pressing and releasing the rightbutton, the compass display is toggled on
or off. When the compass is on, anilluminated compass reading will appearin the lower part of the mirror.
Even with the mirror in anti-glare mode,the mirror surface turns bright if thetransmission is shifted into reverse. Thisis to ensure good rearward visibility duringreversing.
!Photosensors
The mirror has a photosensor attached onboth the front and back sides. If the glarefrom the headlights of vehicles behind youstrikes the mirror, these sensors detect itand make the reflection surface of themirror dimmer to help prevent you frombeing blinded. For this reason, use carenot to cover the sensors with stickers, orother similar items. Periodically wipe the
sensors clean using a piece of dry softcotton cloth or an applicator.
!Compass calibration
1. For optimum calibration, switch off allnonessential electrical accessories (rearwindow defogger, heater/air conditioningsystem, spotlight, etc.) and ensure alldoors are shut.
2. Drive to an open, level area away fromlarge metallic objects or structures andmake certain the ignition switch is in the“ON”position.
3. Press and hold the left button for 3seconds then release, and the compasswill enter the calibration mode.“CAL”anddirection will be displayed.
4. Drive slowly in a circle until“CAL”disappears from the display (approxi-mately two or three circles). The compassis now calibrated.
5. Further calibration may be necessaryshould outside influences cause the mirrorto read inaccurately. You will know thatthis has occurred if your compass beginsto read in only limited directions. Shouldyou encounter this situation, return to stepone of the above procedure and recali-brate the mirror.

&Outside mirrors
!Convex mirror (passenger side)
WARNING
Objects look smaller in a convexmirror and farther away than whenviewed in a flat mirror. Do not usethe convex mirror to judge thedistance of vehicles behind youwhen changing lanes. Use the insidemirror (or glance backwards) todetermine the actual size and dis-tance of objects that you view inconvex mirror.
!Remote control mirror switch
The remote control mirrors operate onlywhen the ignition switch is in the“ON”or“Acc”position.
1. Turn the knob to the“L”side to adjustthe left-hand mirror or to the“R”side toadjust the right-hand mirror.
2. Move the knob in the direction youwant to move the mirror.
3. Return the knob to the neutral positionto prevent unintentional operation.
The mirrors can also be adjusted manu-ally.

!Outside mirror defogger
The outside mirror defogger shares thecontrol switch with the rear window de-fogger. Therefore, the outside mirror de-fogger always operates with the rearwindow defogger.
If the rear window defogger is set to thecontinuous operation mode, the outsidemirror defogger also follows the contin-uous setting.
For details, refer to“Rear window defog-ger button”F3-37.
CAUTION
To prevent the battery from beingdischarged, do not operate the de-fogger continuously for any longer
than necessary.
!Power folding mirror switch (ifequipped)
1) Power folding mirror switch
The power folding mirror switch operatesonly when the ignition switch is in the“ON”or“Acc”position.
To fold the outside mirrors, push the powerfolding mirror switch. To unfold the mirrors,push the switch again.
NOTE
.When the temperature is low, theoutside mirrorsmay stop during opera-tion. Push the switch again. When theoutside mirrors do not work by switchoperation, move them several times
manually. This makes it possible tooperate them by switch operation..When you operate the power foldingmirror switch continuously, it maytemporarily stop working. This is nota malfunction. Operate it again afterwaiting for a short period of time..When you unfold the outside mirrorsmanually, the mirrors may becomeunstable. Be sure to unfold the mirrorsby switch operation. If the outsidemirrors are still unstable, fold themirrors again manually and then unfoldthem by switch operation.

Automatic climate control
system
NOTE
.Operate the automatic climate con-trol system when the engine is running..The blower fan rotates at a lowspeed when the engine coolant tem-perature is low.
Forefficient defogging or dehumidify-ing in cold weather, press the“A/C”button..The vehicle has a rear air condi-tioner. The fan speed of the rear airconditioner can be adjusted, but otheradjustments (outlet air temperature, airdistribution, etc.)are not possible forthe rear air conditioner. For details,refer to“Rear air conditioner”F4-9.
The automatic climate control systemautomatically controls outlet air tempera-ture, fan speed, airflow distribution, airinlet control, and air conditioner compres-sor operation. It activates when the“AUTO”button is pressed, and is used tomaintain a constant, comfortable climatewithin the passenger compartment.
The temperature can be set within a rangeof 65 to 858F (18 to 328C).

NOTE
When driving on a dusty road or behinda vehicle that emits unpleasant exhaustgases, set the air inlet selection buttonto the ON position.
From time to time, return the air inletselection button to the OFF position todraw outside air into the passengercompartment.
&Rear air conditioner
The rear air conditioner blows cool air outof the rear ventilators while the“A/C”button on the control panel is in the“ON”position. The fan speed of the rear airconditionercan be adjusted using the rearair conditioner dial behind the centerconsole. The fan speed can be adjustedin four steps by turning the dial. Turn thedial 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 duringAUTO mode operation, the air condi-tioner compressor does not operate,meaning that the system merely blowsuncooled air out of the ventilators.
.The outlet air temperature of the rearair conditioner cannot be adjusted..The rear air conditioner cannot beused as a heater.
&Temperature sensors
1) Interior air temperature sensor2) Solar sensor
The automatic climate control systememploys several sensors. These sensorsare delicate. If they are treated incorrectlyand become damaged, the system maynot be able to control the interior tempera-ture correctly. To avoid damaging thesensors, observe the following precau-tions.
–Do not subject the sensors to impact.
–Keep water away from the sensors.

!Sirius XMTMSatellite Radio Acti-vation (for U.S.A. only)
Models with Sirius XMTMare eligible for a3-month complimentary subscription tothe Sirius XMTMSatellite Radio service.
Activation process:
You can activate the XM Satellite Radiofromthe website of the XM Satellite Radio.For details, visit the website.
!Satellite radio reception
Satellite radio signals are best received inareas with a clear view of the open sky. Inareas wherethere are tall buildings, trees,tunnels or other structures that mayobstruct the signal of the satellites, theremay be signal interruptions. Other circum-stances that may result in signal lossinclude driving near a wall, steep cliff orhill, or driving on the lower level of a multi-tiered road or inside a parking garage.
To help reduce this condition, satelliteradio providers have installed ground-based repeaters in heavily populatedareas. However, you may still experiencereception problems in some areas.
!Displaying satellite radio ID oftuner
When you activate satellite radio, youshould have your satellite radio tuner ID
ready because each tuner is identified byits unique satellite radio tuner ID.
The satellite radio ID will be needed whenyou activate satellite radio and receivesatellite radio customer support.
The satellite radio ID can be found on theaudio display by tuning the channel to“0”.
Turn the“TUNE TRACK”button (4) toselect the satellite radio channel.
