The rearview mirror has an integrated display

that shows the compass direction in which the

vehicle is pointing. Eight different directions are

shown with the abbreviations:

(north),

NE

(north east),

E

(east),

SE

(southeast),

S

(south),

SW

(southwest),

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 mag-

netic zone. The character

C

is shown in the

mirror's display if calibration is necessary.

1.

Stop the vehicle in a large open area, safely

out of traffic and away from steel structures

and high-tension electrical wires.

2.

Start the vehicle.

NOTE

For best results from calibration, switch off

all electrical equipment in the vehicle (cli-

mate system, windshield wipers, audio sys-

tem, etc.) and make sure that all doors are

closed.

3.

Using a pen or similar object, press and

hold the button on the rear side of mirror

until

C

is shown again in the mirror(after

approx. 6 seconds).

4.

Drive as usual.

C

disappears from the dis-

play 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

C

disap-

pears from the display when calibration is

complete.
