Feature Highlights

AUTO-dIMMINg MIRRORS ANd hOMELINK

®

 

  •    Auto-dimming automatically darkens your 

rearview mirror and driver side door mirror 

to reduce headlight glare from the vehicles 

behind you.

  •   Auto-dimming is activated every time the 

vehicle is started.

NOTE: 

• 

 The driver side door mirror will appear to have a halo, or ring, around the outer  

edge of the mirror surface. This is actually the electrical circuitry that allows the  

mirror to dim. This is normal operation of the mirror.

• 

 

In addition to the auto-dimming mirror’s rear light sensor, there is also a  

front light sensor (not shown). Do not place or hang any objects over the  

front or rear mirror light sensors; otherwise, the auto-dimming mirrors will  

not operate properly.

 Manual Shift Mode gives you 

the feel of driving a manual transmission by 
allowing you to manually shift to control engine 
rpm and torque when more control is desired.

To Use Manual Shift Mode:

  •   Shift lever from D to M.

NOTE:

 Changing to manual mode  

can be done while driving the vehicle.

To Shift Up To A Higher Gear:

  •   Tap shift lever back (+) once.

To Shift Down To A Lower Gear:

  •   Tap shift lever forward (-) once.

The transmission will automatically adjust how and when it shifts gears  
based on road conditions and your driving style. The transmission may stay  
in a lower gear longer than usual when going up or down hills or driving 
around corners. This feature gives you better control and a more connected 
driving experience.
