2-2.4 Remote Controlled, Heated Outside and Rear View Mirrors
Your motor home has two electronically adjustable
heated mirrors. Each mirror has a flat mirror and a
convex mirror. There are two switches, one that
controls the left hand flat convex mirror and the other
controls the right hand flat convex mirror. By flipping
the switch from left to right this allows the driver to
adjust the flat and convex mirrors separately.
Mirrors are electronically heated thermostatically
controlled, designed not to overheat. Switches on the
dash allow driver to turn heat on and off as desired.

Zone Variation
This compass must be set to compensate for the variation
between true north and magnetic north. To set variation:
•
Turn ignition on.
•
Using the map at right to find your geographic
location, note the zone that you are in.
•
To select Zone, push in the Comp switch for 3
seconds until the Zone selected comes up. Release,
then toggle until correct zone is found and release
switch. After 5 seconds of no switch activity, display
will return to normal temperature reading.
Compass Calibration
This compass automatically calibrates itself while the vehicle
is driven as your route takes you in complete circles.
Therefore no calibration should be required, though it may
take up to an hour. A quicker method is listed below. If the
vehicle’s compass headings become inaccurate, the compass can be manually calibrated by:
•
Turn ignition on.
•
Zone variation needs to be changed to use in different areas of the country.
