Removing the original mirror
CAUTION: DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE WHEN REMOVING MIRROR
FROM THE WINDSHIELD MOUNT. THE WINDSHIELD BUTTON MAY SEPARATE
FROM THE WINDSHIELD OR THE WINDSHIELD MAY BREAK IF FORCED.
NOTE: There are several versions of mirror mount systems. If unfamiliar with
mirror removal, seek professional assistance.
Screw mount mirror removal.
Using a Philips screwdriver or #20 Torx bit, loosen the screw in the base of
the mirror.
After loosening screw, gently lift upward to slide mirror off of mirror mount.
Wedge mount mirror removal procedure: (Common for screw less mount).
Using a mirror tool or small 1/8” (4 mm) flat-blade screwdriver, insert the
flat end into the opening at the bottom of the mirror mount at the windshield.
Slide the screwdriver into the center of the mirror mount until resistance is
felt.
Gently apply a small amount of additional upward force to lift away locking
spring in the mount.
While still applying upward pressure with the screwdriver, grasp the mirror
bracket and wiggle side to side. Lift mirror up toward the headliner and off
the windshield mount button.
Mirror Installation.
Installation will vary depending on the mounting foot you use for the vehicle.
The mount pre-installed on the mirror is for a standard wedge mount foot. If
you need to use a different foot, change the foot by removing the Philips
head screw in the center of the foot. Attach the required foot to the mounting
arm with the included screw.
NOTE: Check to insure the center screw in the mounting foot is tight before
installation to the windshield. The center screw should be tightened to 15
in-lb. If changing the mount, we recommend using Loctite Threadlocker to
insure the mount will not loosen over time. Install the mirror by reversing the
removal process.
NOTE: Always use caution, DO NOT force the mount. Rostra Precision
Controls, Inc. will not be responsible for broken windshields. If you are not
sure how to remove or re-install the mirror seek trained, qualified help.
The menu is accessed and set by using the remote control.
The monitor is equipped with adjustable guide lines that should be set
correctly at the time of installation. Generally, these guidelines are used to
help drivers estimate the distance from obstacles when parking. There are
three lines for reference-Red, Yellow and Green. These three lines are
displayed on the monitor when car is in reverse. The lines should be adjusted
so the green line starts approximately 9ft away from the rear of car, the
yellow line starts approximately 6ft away from the rear of car, and the red
line starts approximately 3ft away from the rear of car. The lines should also
be adjusted to be approximately 6 inches wider than the vehicle on each side
to assist in parking.
Place the vehicle into reverse gear and press the guideline adjustment
key in the center of the 4 directional keys on the remote control.
For the right side press the button again to select (XR).
To adjust the angle of the guidelines press the rotation keys below the
4 position keys to rotate the lines clockwise and counter clockwise.
When you are finished place the vehicle in Park, the monitor will shut off
and the positions will be saved in the mirror’s memory.
NOTE: The remote control must be at least 1.5 feet from the mirror when
using it for adjustments or it may not respond.
Adjusting The Guidelines
Use the up, down, left, and right buttons to adjust the location of the
selected guideline.
By placing items behind the vehicle at the measurements shown above you
will be able to easily and quickly customize the parking lines for this particu-
lar vehicle.
Once you have either marked the area or place items such as traffic cone
behind the vehicle make sure the parking brake is engaged and no one is
behind the vehicle.

AUTO-DIMMING
COMPASS (OPTION)
Auto-dimming rear-view mirrors increase driving safety by eliminating glare
that can inpair vision. In auto-dimming technology, a forward-looking sensor
detects low ambient light from headlights behind the car and directs the
rear-view sensor to look for glare. The mirrors darken automatically in
proportion to how bright the glare is, then clear once the glare is no longer
detected.
the light sensor from the back of
mirror detects the ambient light
front light sensor detects the light
from rearward-approaching vehicles.
When a second camera such as a Front camera is connected you can
select this input by pressing the button for 2 secods one time for on, one
time for off. The 2nd input will shut offin 20 seconds after the button
is pushed.
While in Reverse mode if you fast press the button the brightness
control will display and each press will increase the brightness. Contin-
ue to press and it will cycle through to low again.
If you place the car in reverse while the 2nd video display is selected
the monitor will still automatically switch to the reverse camera for the
drivers safety.
