COVER FIBER OPTIC CABLE - AR82.95-P-0005-01A
Do not remove protective covers too early from the fiber optic cable coupling (3) or the device connection
(4) because contaminated or scratched surfaces may absorb the light. Fiber optic cables must not be kinked,
routed over sharp edges or bent in radii of less than 25 mm, otherwise the fiber optic cable core will be
yellowed and broken. Yellowed or broken fiber optic cables weaken the light.
The work procedure is shown on components of the digital data bus (D2B).
1. Carefully detach the fiber optic cable coupling (3) from the device connection (4) and cover it with a
protective cap (1), stop plug (2) or a clean rag.

The compass is calibrated in the factory in order to compensate

for deviations caused by magnetic field intensity of the vehicle and

magnetic interference when operating the heated rear window.

Once the compass is calibrated, it never needs to be recalibrated

under normal operating conditions. If a strong deviation in magnetic

field intensity is detected, the compass automatically recalibrates

itself.

A calibration must be carried out if the compass is replaced.
Additionally, the user can fine tune the compass in order to adapt

it to the vehicle's surrounding area. By setting the respective

compass zone, the compass compensates for deviations in the

earth's magnetic field.

The calibration should take place at least 10 m from any source of
interference such as power lines, buildings and parked vehicles.

Zone setting

1
Press the MODE button on the trip computer

until the compass direction is displayed

2
Press the RESET button once

The current compass zone is displayed

3
Press the RESET button until the desired

compass zone is displayed

The maps for determining the correct

compass zone can be found in the owner's

manual. If the RESET button is not pressed

within 5 seconds, the point of the compass is

displayed again.

The calibration mode is active and remains

active until the calibration process has

concluded. If the ignition is switched off and

on, calibration mode remains active, even if
CAL
no longer is displayed.

Drive two complete circles at a speed of

between 5 - 10 km/h

Heated rear window switched off.

8
Switch heated rear window on

9
Drive three full circles at a speed from 5 - 10

km/h.

Calibration process concluded.

Although the display can change from
CAL
to

the point of the compass before the

calibration drive has been concluded, the

calibration process is still active and must be

carried out exactly as described.
