Compass in inside rearview mirror

A compass and a garage door opener can be inte-
grated in the rearview mirror as a special equipment
option.
The semitransparent display has two functions:
• Compass OFF: mirror function only, display
invisible

The interfering magnetic fields produced by the
vehicle are balanced out via a calibration system. 15
zones have been defined to compensate for the fluctu-
ations in the magnetic field of the Earth. The magnetic
field zones can also be corrected via a switch on the
mirror.

following functions:
