Calibrating the compass

The compass may need to be calibrated in certain cases. If calibration is required, the character C
appears in the mirror's display.

To calibrate the mirror:

1. Stop the car in a large, open area, away from traffic.
2. Start the car.
3. Using a pen or similar object, hold the button (1) depressed for at least six seconds. The character C
will be displayed again.
4. Drive slowly in a circle at a maximum speed of 6 m.p.h. (10 km/h) until a compass direction is
displayed. Calibration is complete.
