! 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 left button for 3
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 di splay (approxi-
mately two or 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.
! Compass zone adjustment
1. The zone setting is factory preset to
Zone 8. Refer to the Compass calibration
zone map attached to the end of this
manual 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.
& Outside mirrors
! Convex mirror (passenger side)
WARNING
Objects look smaller in a convex
mirror and farther away than when
viewed in a flat mirror. Do not use
the convex mirror to judge t he
distance of vehicles behind you
when changing lanes. Use the inside
mirror (or glance backwards) to
determine the actual size and dis-
tance of objects that you view in
convex mirror.
! Remote control mirror switch
The remote control mirrors operate only
when the ignition switch is in the ON or
Acc position.
1. Turn the knob to the L side to adjust
the left-hand mirror or to the R side to
adjust the right-hand mirror.
2. Move the knob in the direction you
want to move the mirror.
3. Return the knob to the neutral position
to prevent unintentional operation.
The mirrors can also be adjusted manu-
ally.
