Compass - Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid Owner's Manual

03 Instruments and controls
||
Automatic dimming*
Bright light from behind is automatically
dimmed by the rearview mirror. The control
for manual dimming is not available on mir-
rors with automatic dimming.
The rearview mirror contains two sensors -
one forward facing and one rearward facing -
that work together to identify and eliminate
dazzling light. The forward facing sensor
03
detects ambient light, while the rearward fac-
ing sensor detects the light from vehicle
headlights behind.
NOTE
If the sensors are obscured by e.g. parking
permits, transponders, sun visors or
objects in the seats or in the cargo area in
such a way that light is prevented from
reaching the sensors, then the dimming
function of the interior rearview and door
mirrors is reduced.
The compass (p. 100) can only be specified
for a rearview mirror with automatic dimming.

Compass*

The rearview mirror contains an integrated
display that shows the compass direction in
which the front of the car is pointing.
Operation
Rearview mirror with compass.
The upper right-hand corner of the rearview
mirror has an integrated display that shows
the compass direction in which the front of
the car is pointing. Eight different directions
are shown with English abbreviations:
(north), NE (north east), E (east),
S SW
east), (south), (south west),
NW
and (north west).
The compass is activated automatically when
the car is started or when key position II is
active, see Key positions - functions at differ-
ent levels (p. 73). To deactivate/activate the
compass - press in the button on the under-
side of the mirror using a paper clip for exam-
ple.
Calibration
The compass may need calibrating to show
the correct compass direction.
The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones.
The compass should be calibrated if the car
is moved across several magnetic zones.
Proceed as follows to perform calibration:
1. Stop the car in a large open area free
from steel structures and high-voltage
power lines.
2. Start the car and switch off all electrical
equipment (air conditioning, wipers, etc.)
and ensure that all doors are closed.
NOTE
Calibration may fail or not start at all if
electrical equipment is not switched off.
3. Hold the button on the underside of the
N
rearview mirror depressed
SE (south
approx. 3 seconds. The number of the
W
(west)
current magnetic zone is shown.
