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 underside of the mirror.
The auto-dim function is also available as an option on the door mirrors.

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.
E
•
Calibration may not succeed or be
SW
(south-
incorrect if the vehicle's electrical
equipment is not switched off.
3. Using a pen, paperclip or similar object,
press and hold the button on the under-
side of mirror for approx. 6 seconds until
C
is displayed in the mirror.

4. Press and hold the button for 3 seconds
until the number of the current magnetic
zone is displayed.
5. Press the button repeatedly until the
number of the desired magnetic zone
1-15
(
) is displayed. See the magnetic
zones on the map in the following section
"Selecting a magnetic zone").
C
6. Wait until
is again displayed in the mir-
ror.
7. Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no
more than 6 mph (10 km/h) until a direc-
tion is displayed. This indicates that cali-
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
is displayed when the
heating function is activated, perform
step 7 with the heating function on. See
also Max. defroster and electrically
heated windshield* (p. 131) for additional
information about the heated windshield.
Repeat the calibration procedure if neces-
sary.
