button, the compass display is toggled on

or off. When the compass is on, an

illuminated compass reading will appear

in the upper right corner of the mirror.

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 during

reversing.

! 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.

! Compass zone adjustment

Compass calibration zones

1. The zone setting is factory preset to

Zone 8. Refer to the “Compass calibration

zones” map shown above to verify that the

compass zone setting is correct for your

geographical location.

2. Press and hold the right button for 3

seconds then release, and the word

“ZONE” will briefly appear and then the

zone number will be displayed.

3. Press the right-hand button repeatedly

to cycle the display through all possible

zone settings. Stop cycling when the

correct zone setting for your location is

displayed.

4. Releasing the button for 3 seconds will

exit the zone setting mode.

! Compass calibration

1. For optimum calibration, switch off all

nonessential electrical accessories (rear

window defogger, heater/air conditioning

system, spotlight, etc.) and ensure all

doors are shut.

2. Drive to an open, level area away from

large metallic objects or structures and

make certain the ignition switch is in the

“ON” position.

3. Press and hold the right button for 6 - 7

seconds then release, and the compass

will enter the calibration mode. “CAL” and

direction will be displayed.

4. Drive slowly in a circle until “CAL”

disappears from the display (approxi-

mately two to three circles). The compass

is now calibrated.

5. Further calibration may be necessary

should outside influences cause the mirror

to read inaccurately. You will know that

this has occurred if your compass begins

to read in only limited directions. Should

you encounter this situation, return to step

one of the above procedure and recali-

brate the mirror.
