Interior rearview mirror with garage opener, autodimming and compass (certain variants only) WARNING Make sure that people and objects are out of the way of a moving door or gate to pre- vent potential harm or damage. When programming the garage opener, you may be operating a garage door or gate operator. Therefore it is advised to park outside of the garage. Do not use the garage opener with any garage door opener that lacks the safety stop and reverse feature as required by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model manufac- tured before April 1, 1982.). A garage door opener which cannot detect an object, signalling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases risk of serious injury or death. Retain your original garage door transmitter for future programming procedures (i.e., new vehicle purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the pro- grammed garage opener buttons be erased for security purposes. Buttons for garage opener and compass 1-3 Garage opener 4 LED 5 Compass/auto dimming ON/OFF 6 Compass bearing Interior equipment and trunk 123 antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit. 8 Firmly press and release the "learn" or "smart" button. (The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.) Note: There are 30 seconds in which to ini- tiate step nine. 9 Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the programmed button. Repeat the "press/hold/release" sequence a second time, and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to com- plete the programming process. The garage opener should now activate your rolling code equipped device. Note: To program the remaining two but- tons, begin with "Programming" - step three. Do not repeat step two. Preparations for first-time programming Before programming the garage opener for the first time, you must delete any factory codes. Press and hold the two outer buttons until the indicator light begins to flash-after 20 seconds. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer that 30 seconds. The garage opener is now in the train (or learning) mode and can be programmed at any time begin- ning with "Programming" - step 2. Programming The garage opener can record and store the frequencies of three different remote con- trols. The battery in the remote control should be fairly new for programming to work well. Do not repeat "Programming" - step two to train additional devices to a second or third button. Begin with "Programming" - step three. 1 Turn the ignition ON. 2 Press and hold the two outer buttons (buttons one and three) - releasing only when the indicator light begins to flash (after 20 seconds). Do not hold the but- tons for longer than 30 seconds and do not repeat step two to program a second and/or third hand-held transmit- ter to the remaining two buttons. 3 Position the end of your hand-held trans- mitter 1-3 inches (5-14 cm) away from the button you wish to program while keeping the indicator light in view. The transmitter should face the mirror from below or left side of the mirror. 4 Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen and hand-held transmitter but- tons. Do not release the buttons until step 5 has been completed. Note: Some gate operators and garage door openers may require you to replace this Programming Step 4 with procedures noted in the "Gate Operator / Canadian Pro- gramming" section. 5 After the indicator light changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light, release both the mirror and hand-held transmit- ter buttons. 6 Press and hold the just-trained button and observe the indicator light. If the indicator light stays on con- stantly, programming is complete and your device should activate when the button is pressed and released. Note: To program the remaining two but- tons, begin with "Programming" - step three. Do not repeat step two. If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a constant light continue with "Programming" steps 7-9 to complete the programming of a rolling code equipped device (most com- monly a garage door opener). 7 At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the "learn" or "smart" button. This can usually be found where the hanging 124 Interior equipment and trunk Reprogramming a single button To program a device to the garage opener using a button previously trained, follow these steps: 1 Press and hold the desired button. DO NOT release the button. 2 The indicator light will begin to flash after 20 seconds. Without releasing the button, proceed with "Programming" - step 3. Erasing the three buttons To erase programming from the three but- tons (individual buttons cannot be erased but can be "reprogrammed" as outlined below), follow the step noted: (cid:127) Press and hold the two outer buttons until the indicator light begins to flash-after 20 seconds. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer that 30 seconds. The garage opener is now in the train (or learning) mode and can be programmed at any time beginning with "Programming" - step 3. Gate Operator / Canadian Programming Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to "time-out" (or quit) after several seconds of transmission - which may not be long enough for the garage opener to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to "time-out" in the same manner. If you live in Canada or you are having diffi- culties programming a gate operator by using the "Programming" procedures (regardless of where you live), replace "Programming " step 4 with the following: Note: If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the device during the "cycling" process to pre- vent possible overheating. 4 Continue to press and hold the button while you press and release - every two seconds ("cycle") your hand-held transmit- ter until the frequency signal has success- fully been accepted by the garage opener. (The indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly.) Proceed with "Programming" step five to complete. NOTICE Switch off the power supply to the garage door or gate (or park the car beyond the range of the remote control) while programming using the "cycling" method to prevent damaging the electrical motor. Interior equipment and trunk 125 Opening a garage door To operate, simply press and release the programmed button.

Rearview mirrors with auto dimming function (accessory/option) The autodimming is activated and deacti- vated with a short push on button 2. If the mirror is equipped with Garage Door Opener (option) the letter 1 is displayed on compass bearing display briefly when auto dimming is activated. When deactivating the letter 0 is displayed. The interior rearview mirror has two sen- sors, one forward-facing and one rear-fac- ing. They also activate and deactivate the auto dimming feature on door mirrors. The system is activated when the for- ward-facing sensor detects that it is dark outside and the rear-facing sensor detects. For example, if the car following has not dimmed its headlights. The rearview mirrors are then darkened to prevent the strong light source from dazzling the driver. This dark- ening is stepless. The mirrors return to their normal states when the strong light source diminishes. The auto dimming function can be turned OFF with the switch on the lower edge of the rear-view mirror. NOTE Towing a trailer can cause the system to malfunction, as the rear-facing sensor may sense light from the trailer. 1 Forward-facing sensor 2 ON/OFF switch, auto dimming function 3 Rear-facing sensor 126 Interior equipment and trunk Compass The compass is integrated in the rearview mirror. The compass bearing is displayed in the top right-hand corner of the mirror and is updated every other second.

There is always a danger of loose objects flying about and causing injury if the car should brake suddenly or be involved in a crash. (cid:127) Before folding up the backrest, hang the outer safety belts onto the hook on the respective courtesy handle to prevent them from becoming trapped. (cid:127) Check that the back rest release button (3) is flush with the surround before entering the rear seat. Outer safety belt hooked onto courtesy handle 136 Interior equipment and trunk WARNING (cid:127) Place heavy items closest to the backrest and stow smaller and lighter items on top. (cid:127) Never overload the cargo net. If the elastic breaks this may cause personal injury. Do not use a cargo net that shows signs of wear. (cid:127) Secure heavy and bulky items using the tie down points provided in the trunk. This will avert the danger of luggage flying around if the car should brake suddenly or be involved in a crash (see page 137). (cid:127) Secure small items if the backrest is folded down or the load-through hatch is open. Small items can also be thrown around inside the car and cause personal injury. (cid:127) Do not exceed the load capacity of the car, as this will alter its handling characteristics (see page 270). (cid:127) Make sure that the seat cushions and backrests are properly secured when folding them back to their normal position. Check that the button (item 3 on page 135) is flush with the surround before entering the back seat. The tail pipe of the exhaust system can become very hot during driving. Bear this in mind when loading and unloading the car so that children, for example, do not burn themselves. Trunk pass-through hatch A trunk pass-through hatch is incorporated in the rear seat backrest to enable long, narrow items to be carried inside the car. Items should not weigh more than 33 lbs. (15 kg) nor be more than 2 yards (2 metres) in length. See the label on the hatch. 1 Fold down the armrest. 2 Raise the hatch by lifting the handle. Before loading or unloading long items, switch off the engine and apply the handbrake. This averts the danger of the car moving off suddenly if a long item were to knock the gear or selector lever into gear. WARNING (cid:127) Anchor the load securely (e.g. using middle safety belt) to avoid danger of injury resulting from displacement of load on hard braking. (cid:127) Do not exceed the load capacity of the car, as this will alter its handling characteristics (see page 270). Tie Downs The tie downs for securing the load are fitted inside the trunk. Place the load as far in as possible. Interior equipment and trunk 137 138 Interior equipment and trunk Safety belt located in its belt clip Folding the rear seat, 9-5 Wagon Both the narrow and wide sections of the rear seat can be folded separately. Folding is facilitated if the front seats are not located too far back. The wide section cannot be folded separately if a cargo net is mounted on the rear of the backrest. 1 Make sure that the head restraint is in the down position. For height adjustment refer to page 16. 2 Put the safety belts for the outer seat places in their respective belt clips, which are located near the backrest (see illustration). 3 Raise the rear seat cushions by pulling the loop located between the cushion and the backrest. 4 Fold the narrow section (right) of the backrest forward by raising the opening handle on the right-hand side. 5 Fold the wide section of the backrest forward in the corresponding manner. 6 Adjust the front seats for optimal driving/passenger comfort. NOTICE The safety belts for the outer seating positions should be put in their respective belt clips near the backrest to prevent them from being pinched when the rear seat is raised to the upright position. Alternative location of the parcel shelf if this is removed: (cid:127) Folded up on the floor at the rear of the luggage compartment. (cid:127) On edge behind the backrests of the front seats. WARNING (cid:127) Do not travel in the back seat without ensuring that the head restraint is set at a suitable height for the seats to be occupied. (cid:127) Never allow anyone to sit on a folded backrest. (cid:127) Always be aware of the risk of pinching when handling moving parts of the seating. (cid:127) Never place heavy objects on the parcel shelf. There is always a danger of loose objects flying about and causing injury if the car should brake suddenly or be involved in a crash. (cid:127) Make sure that the backrests are locked when they are folded back upright. Check that the two red warning-indication flags are fully down. This indicates that the backrests are locked. (cid:127) Check that the safety belt lock is not trapped under the seat cushions when these are raised back up. (cid:127) If the car is equipped with a pull-out cargo net on the rear of the backrest, take extra care when folding the rear seat so that no one is injured by the net’s storage cassette on the right-hand side. Interior equipment and trunk 139 Folding the narrow section of the backrest The folding is facilitated if the front seat is not too far back. 1 Make sure that the head restraint is in the down position. For height adjustment refer to page 16. 2 Put the safety belt in the belt clip near the backrest. 3 Raise the rear seat cushion by pulling the loop located at the rear of the cushion. 4 Fold the narrow section (right) of the backrest forward by raising the opening handle. 5 Adjust the front seat for optimal passenger comfort. NOTICE The safety belts for the outer seating positions should be put in their respective belt clips near the back rest to prevent them being pinched when the rear seat is raised to the upright position, see illustration page 138. 140 Interior equipment and trunk (cid:127) Provide protection on sharp edges to prevent damage to the load straps. (cid:127) Never use the elastic floor net and elastic side net when the rear seat is folded down. These nets are only intended to keep light objects tidy, not for the anchoring of loads. (cid:127) If possible, avoid having the rear seat folded down when driving with a heavy load because the anchoring possibili- ties are restricted when the rear seat is in this position. That the rear seat is in the upright position is a basic requirement for protection against cargo displacement in the event of a crash. (cid:127) Cargo can intrude into the passenger compartment during a sudden stop or front crash if the outer safety belts are not fastened. Check that the two red warning-indication flags are fully down. This shows that the backrests are locked. WARNING (cid:127) Match the speed and driving style according to how the car is loaded. The driving characteristics of the car can be affected because the center of gravity is altered when there is a cargo in the luggage compartment. (cid:127) An object weighing 55 lbs. (25 kg) cor- responds to a weight of 2200 lbs. (1000 kg) in a head on crash at 32 mph (50 km/h). (cid:127) Adjust the car’s load (passengers and luggage) so that the gross vehicle weight or the axle weight is not exceeded, see page 270. Driving with the trunk lid/tailgate open, see page 188. Load anchoring WARNING (cid:127) Put heavy loads as low down and as far forward as possible in the luggage compartment, i.e. against the back of the rear seat. (cid:127) Never overload the cargo net. If the elastic breaks this may cause personal injury. Do not use a cargo net that shows signs of wear. (cid:127) Never stack cargo so high that any part of the cargo lies above the edge of the backrest, if a cargo guard (accessory) is not being used. (cid:127) Always tie down the cargo so that it cannot be thrown forward during heavy braking or in the event of a crash. (cid:127) Unsecured and heavy cargo can increase the risk of injury during hard braking, sudden avoidance maneu- vers and in the event of a crash. (cid:127) For the best load anchoring, use the special cargo bolts and load straps (accessory). (cid:127) Load the cargo bolts evenly. Never attach more than one strap to each tie down eye. Interior equipment and trunk 141 Cargo bolts mounted on the longitudinal rails On the floor of the luggage compartment there are two longitudinal aluminium rails (CargoTracks™) where special cargo bolts can be mounted. The cargo bolts are mounted by lifting their locks and inserting them into the rail. Each cargo bolt is moved in the following way: pull up its lock and at the same time move it for- ward or backward to the desired position. Example of cargo anchoring Elastic cargo net for lighter objects. Items for load anchoring: (cid:127) Cargo bolts (accessory). (cid:127) Special load straps (accessory). Items to keep light objects tidy (accesso- ries): (cid:127) Elastic floor cargo net. (cid:127) Elastic side cargo net for the right-hand side of the luggage compartment. The elastic nets may only be used to keep light objects tidy, not for anchoring. The floor net should be attached to the cargo bolts that are mounted on the Car- goTracks™. Place the tie down eyes as far forward and as far back as possible on the CargoTracks™. The side netting should be attached to the two tie down eyes which are included in the accessory kit and to two of the eyes mounted on the right-hand CargoTrack™ on the floor. The cargo bolts, load straps and elastic nets are stored in the two floor lockers on the right- and left-hand side of the luggage com- partment. The lockers are opened by lifting the respective fabric loop. NOTICE Do not place any objects so that the demisting and antenna elements on the inside of the window could be damaged. 142 Interior equipment and trunk WARNING (cid:127) The cargo in the luggage compart- ment must be anchored properly, even if the cargo net is correctly in position. The only purpose of the net is to prevent light objects from being thrown about in the cabin during heavy braking or in the event of a crash. (cid:127) Take extra care when tipping the wide section of the rear seat forwards if the car has a pull-out cargo net on the rear of the backrest. Make sure that no one is injured by the cargo net’s storage cassette on the right-hand side where the backrest is already folded. The pull-out cargo net can also be used when the whole rear seat is folded. There are two front attachment points in the roof for this purpose. Removing the cargo net storage cas- sette 1 Fold down the entire rear seat (see page 138). 2 Push the cassette to the right. Cover over the fixing point for the cargo net Cargo net (accessory) The pull-out cargo net’s storage cassette is mounted on the rear of the backrest. 1 Remove the covers near the two rear fixing points in the roof. Carefully bend in the lower edge of the cover with a screw- driver. 2 Pull the cargo net out directly back- wards. 3 Snap the net’s two fasteners into the two fixing points on the roof. 4 Make sure that the hooks on the net’s own storage cassette fit against the net mesh. Attaching the cargo net to the roof Hooks on the net’s storage cassette Interior equipment and trunk 143 Setting up the sliding floor The function of the sliding floor is to facilitate loading and unloading. Securing loads, see page 137. When the car is parked and the floor is pulled out, it can bear the weight of two people (maximum 440 lbs./200 kg). Setting up 1 Lift up the floor. 2 Fold out the support wheels. 3 Set the floor down on the support wheels. Sliding floor (accessory) WARNING To avoid personal injury take note of the following: (cid:127) Do not leave children unsupervised when the sliding floor is drawn out. (cid:127) Be aware of the risk of pinching when handling the sliding floor. (cid:127) Never drive the car with the sliding floor pulled out. (cid:127) Always use the car’s regular cargo anchoring when transporting a cargo. (cid:127) Provide protection on sharp edges to prevent damage to the anchoring straps. (cid:127) The sliding floor must not be changed or modified in any way. (cid:127) Put the sliding floor in the folded- down position when it is not in use. 144 Interior equipment and trunk Loading Folding down the sliding floor Trunk Release Handle When the floor is not in use 1 Lift up the floor. 2 Fold down the support wheels. 3 Lay down the sliding floor and make sure that it is locked in its lower position.
