Automatic Dimming Mirror Operation
Automatic dimming reduces the glare of lights from
behind the vehicle. The dimming feature comes on and
the indicator light illuminates each time the vehicle is
started.
O (On/Off): Press and hold O for about three seconds
to turn the dimming feature and compass display on
or off.
AUTO 3 (Vehicles with Intellibeam™): Press and
hold for approximately three seconds to turn the
compass display on or off.
Cleaning the Mirror
Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror.
Use a soft towel dampened with water.
Compass
Compass Operation
Press O or AUTO 3 , depending on the vehicle,
to turn the compass on or off.
When the ignition and the compass feature are on, after
a few seconds, the mirror will display the compass
heading. The compass automatically calibrates as the
vehicle is driven.
Compass Calibration
If after a few seconds, the display does not show the
correct direction, (for example, N for North), there
may be a strong magnetic field interfering with the
compass. Interference can be caused by a magnetic
antenna mount, magnetic note pad holder or a
similar magnetic item.
