Digital compass*
Operation
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, paperclip or similar object and press in the button on the rear side of the mirror.
Calibration
North America is divided into 15 magnetic zones and the compass will need to be calibrated if the vehicle is driven into a new one (see the magnetic zones on the map in the following section "Selecting a magnetic zone"). To do so:
Note
- For best calibration results, switch off all electrical equipment in the vehicle (climate system, windshield wipers, audio system, etc.) and make sure that all doors are closed.
- Calibration may not succeed or be incorrect if the vehicle's electrical equipment is not switched off.
Using a pen, paperclip or similar object, press and hold the button on the rear side of mirror for approx. 6 seconds until C is displayed in the mirror.
Repeat the calibration procedure if necessary.
Selecting a magnetic zone
The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones. The correct zone must be selected for the compass to work correctly.
