vehicle is pointing. Eight different directions are shown with the abbreviations: N (north), NE (north east), E (east), SE (southeast), S (south), SW (southwest), W (west) and NW (northwest). The compass is displayed automatically when the vehicle is started or in ignition mode II . To switch the compass on/off use a pen or similar object and press in the button on the rear side of the mirror. Calibration The compass may need to be calibrated if, for example, the vehicle is driven into a new magnetic zone. The characters CAL are shown in the mirror's display if calibration is necessary. 1. Stop the vehicle in a large open area, away from traffic. 2. Start the vehicle. 3. Using a pen or similar object, press and hold the button on the rear side of mirror until CAL is shown again (after approx. 6 seconds). 4. Drive as usual. CAL disappears from the display when calibration is complete. Alternative calibration method: Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no more than 5 mph (8 km/h) until CAL disappears from the display when calibration is complete. Selecting a magnetic zone The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones. The correct zone must be selected for the compass to work correctly. 1. Put the ignition in mode II . 2. Using a pen or similar object, press and hold the button on the rear side of mirror for at least 3 seconds. The number for the current area will be shown. 3. Press the button repeatedly until the number for the required geographic area (1-15) is shown.
