Digital Compass - Volvo S80 Owner's Manual

Digital compass*

The rear-view mirror has an integrated display
that shows the compass direction in which
the vehicle is traveling.
Operation
Rearview mirror with compass.
Eight different directions are shown with the
N NE
abbreviations: (north), (north east),
(east), SE (southeast), S (south),
W NW
west), (west) and (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, paper-
clip 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 cali-
brated 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:
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 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.

bration is complete.
8. Drive around in a circle an additional two
times to fine-tune the calibration.
9. Vehicles with an electrically heated
windshield:* if C
heating function is activated, perform
step 7 with the heating function on. See
also Max. defroster and electrically
heated windshield* (p. 126) for additional
information about the heated windshield.
