Rearview mirror  with compass (option)
The upper left-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.
If the compass  is activated, it will be  displayed automatically  when the ignition is in postilion  II or when the engine is
running. The compass  can be  switched off or on by pressing the inset button on the rear side of the mirror (see the inset
illustration). This can be  done  with straightened paperclip or similar object.  The button is recessed  approximately 1 in.
(2.5 cm) in the mirror.

Magnetic zones
The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones. The compass  is initially set for the zone to which  the car was delivered,
and  should always be  adjusted if the car is driven to a  new magnetic zone. To do so:
- Switch the ignition to position II.
- Press the button on the rear side of the mirror with straightened paperclip or similar object  for approximately 3
seconds until ZONE is displayed. The number of the current magnetic zone will also be  displayed.
- Press the button repeatedly until the number for the desired zone (1-15) is displayed.

        Page 58 of 200

After several seconds, the compass  heading will again be  displayed, and  the change of magnetic zones is complete.
Calibrating  the compass
- Stop the car in a  large, open  area, away from  traffic.
- Turn  off as many electrical devices in the car as possible to avoid interference with the compass  (e.g. audio system,
etc).
- Using a  pen  or similar object,  hold the button (1) depressed  for at least 6 seconds. "CAL"  will be  displayed.
- Drive slowly in a  circle at a  maximum speed of 5 m.p.h. (8 km/h) until CAL is no longer displayed.
NOTE: This step can also be  done  by driving normally until CAL is no longer displayed. Calibration is complete.

The mirrors  should always be  adjusted prior  to driving. Objects seen in the passenger's  side wide -angle sideview
mirror are closer than they appear to be.
Remote central locking and sideview mirror  memory-option
If you lock the vehicle and  later unlock it with the same  remote control and  open  the driver's door, the sideview
mirrors  (and the driver's seat) will automatically  move to the position they were  in when you left the vehicle. This
feature will work in the same way with all of the remote control transmitters (up to 3) that you use with your vehicle.
This feature will not function if you lock your vehicle with the key.
Water repellent glass-option on certain models
 The side door windows can be  treated with a  water repellent coating.  The symbol  to the left indicates
these windows have this  coating.  The optional laminated  side windows always have this  coating.
The coating  improves vision  by causing the water to run off quickly.
See  page 163
 for information on cleaning this  type of glass.
CAUTION!
Use only suitable plastic scrapers to remove ice or snow from  the windows. Using a  metal ice scraper  could damage
the water repellent coating.

that the compartment will not be  heated or cooled faster by setting the temperature higher or lower than necessary.
Set the control to the temperature you prefer.
