Mirrors
Rearview mirror
Auto-dim function
A sensor at the lower edge of the mirror reacts to headlights from following traffic and automatically reduces glare.
Rearview mirror with compass (option)
The upper right-hand corner of the rearview mirror has an integrated display that shows the compass direction toward
which the car is pointing. Eight different directions can be displayed: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W and NW. The display
shows your car's orientation with respect to true north.
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.
ProCarManuals.com
Page 49 of 182
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.

A few seconds after browsing is complete, the display reverts to the compass direction.
Power door mirrors
The mirror control switches are located on the driver's door armrest.
To adjust the mirrors:
Driver's door mirror: Press the L button (a light in the switch will go on) to activate the adjustment control. Use this
control to adjust the driver's door mirror.
Passenger's door mirror: Press the R switch (a light in the switch will go on) to activate the adjustment control. Use
this control to adjust the passenger's door mirror.
After you have adjusted the mirror(s), press the L or R switch again (the LED will go out) to deactivate the adjustment
control.
WARNING!
The mirrors should always be adjusted prior to driving. Objects seen in the passenger's side wide -angle door mirror
are closer than they appear to be.
Storing the mirrors' position
The position of the power door mirrors is stored when the car is locked with the remote control. When the car is
unlocked with the same remote control, the mirrors will move to the stored position.

ECC functions
1. Auto -On/Off
The AUTO function automatically regulates climate control to maintain the desired temperature. The
automatic function controls heating, air conditioning, blower speed, recirculation, and air distribution.
When the retractable hard top is down, warm or cool air from the climate system is directed downward in the
passenger compartment, and the climate system's effect is limited if it is not possible to compensate for the ambient
temperature.
If you select one or more manual functions, the remaining functions continue to be controlled automatically. All
manual settings are switched off when AUTO is switched on. AUTO CLIMATE is shown in the display.
2. Blower speed
The blower speed can be increased or decreased by turning the knob. The blower speed is regulated
automatically if AUTO is selected. The previously set blower speed is disconnected.
NOTE: If the knob is turned counterclockwise and the blower indication in the display goes out, the blower and the air
conditioning are switched off. The display shows the blower symbol and OFF.
3. Recirculation
This function can be used to shut out exhaust fumes, smoke, etc from the passenger compartment. The air
in the passenger compartment is then recirculated, i.e. no air from outside the car is taken into the car when this
function is activated.

pg. 61 Climate
Electronic climate control (ECC)
If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of condensation forming on the insides of the windows,
especially in winter.
Timer
The timer function minimizes the risk of fogging, or stale air when the recirculation function is selected. See page 52
for information on setting the recirculation timer.
NOTE: Recirculation is always disengaged if the defroster button is engaged to clear ice or condensation from the side
windows.
4. Defroster
Directs airflow to the windshield and side windows and increases blower speed. The LED in the defroster
button lights up when this function is activated. The air conditioning system is controlled to provide maximum air
dehumidification. The air is not recirculated.
5. Airflow controls
Press one of the three buttons in the illustration to activate the selected airflow. A symbol in the display
above the climate control panel and a lit LED in the selected button indicate that the manual function has been
selected. With manually selected airflow both warm and cool air can be selected. See also the table on page 63
.
6. Air conditioning On/Off
The air conditioning system is controlled automatically by the system when the ON LED is lit to maintain
the selected temperature.
When OFF is selected and the OFF LED is lit, the air conditioning system is deactivated. Other functions are still
controlled automatically.
When Defroster (4) is selected, the air conditioning system is activated for maximum dehumidifying.
7 and 8. Heated front seats (option)
Maximum heating: Press the button once - both LEDs light up.
Reduced heating: Press the button a second time - one LED lights up.
Seat heating off: Press the button a third time - no LEDs are lit.
9. Rear window and door mirror defrosters
