Compass Compass Function If equipped REAR VIEW MIRROR Your vehicle has a compass in the rear view mirror. The compass indicates the vehicle direction with illuminated letters; N (north), S (south), W (west), and E (east). The center blue icon in the compass is always on. It serves as a reference point. COMPASS BUTTON The compass can be affected by driving near power lines or stations, across bridges, through tunnels, over railroad crossings, past large vehicles, or driving near large objects that cause magnetic interference. It can also be affected by accessories such as antennas and roof racks that are mounted by magnets. The compass mirror has a light sensor behind the right side of the rear view mirror. Make sure the extended sun visor or an accessory is not covering the sensor. CENTER ICON The direction and center position icons come on when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position. The system then begins to check the vehicle direction and illuminates the appropriate icon(s). To turn the compass on or off, press the compass button on the back of the rear view mirror. 168
