HomeLink® Mirror User Guide
Congratulations! Your new automobile is equipped with an Automatic Dimming Mirror,
manufactured by Gentex Corporation. During nighttime driving, this safety feature
senses distracting glare from vehicle headlights behind you and automatically dims the
mirror to eliminate glare and preserve your vision.
Your new mirror also comes with an integrated HomeLink® wireless control system
which allows you to program the mirror to activate your garage door(s), estate gate, etc.
The mirror actually learns the codes from your various existing transmitters.

cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror as that may cause the liquid
cleaner to enter the mirror housing and damage the mirror.

The exterior auto-dimming feature is controlled by the interior auto-dimming mirror
and will automatically dim the exterior mirror to eliminate glare and preserve your
vision when the interior mirror adjusts. The auto-dimming feature of the exterior
mirror can be turned on/off by setting the interior mirror’s auto-dimming feature to

The approach lighting feature illuminates the front and rear doors and also shines
downward to illuminate the area in front of the doors when the doors are unlocked
or opened.
Troubleshooting Guidelines
1. “C” is displayed in the compass window
The compass needs to be calibrated. Drive the vehicle in one circle at five mph or
less until the display reads a direction. You can also calibrate the compass by driving
your vehicle on your everyday routine. The compass will be calibrated once it has
tracked one complete circle.
2. Inaccurate compass direction

The display will return to the normal compass mode after about 5
seconds of no switch activity.
If the vehicle changes zone, repeat steps 1 thru 3. See map.

Drive the vehicle in a complete circle at less than 5 mph.
4. Note
(1)
(2)
Installing items such as a ski rack, antenna, or even some body repair work can cause changes to the vehicle’s magnetic field.
In these situations, the compass will need to be recalibrated to the
vehicle’s magnetic field.
The compass may not indicate the correct compass point in tunnels
or while driving up or down a steep hill.
(The compass returns to the correct compass point when the vehicle moves to an area where the geomagnetism is stabilized.)
