Rearview mirror with compass.
The upper right-hand corner of the rearview
mirror has an integrated display that shows the
compass direction in which the front of the car
is pointing. Eight different directions are shown
with English abbreviations:
N (north), NE (north
east), E (east), SE (south east), S (south), SW(south west), W (west) and NW (north west).
The compass is activated automatically when
the car is started or in key position II, see
page 80. To deactivate/activate the compass -
press in the button on the underside of the mir-
ror using a paper clip for example.
CalibrationThe earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones.
The compass is set for the geographic area to
which the car was delivered. The compassshould be calibrated if the car is moved across
several magnetic zones.
1. Stop the car in a large open area free from
steel structures and high-voltage power
lines.
2. Start the car.
NOTE
For optimum calibration - switch off all elec-
trical equipment (climate control system,
wipers etc.) and make sure that all doors are
closed.
3. Hold the button on the underside of the
rearview mirror depressed
approx. 6 seconds (using a paper clip for
example) until the character

See the map of magnetic zones for the
compass.
6. Wait until the display resumes showing the
character
C.
7. Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no
more than 10 km/h until a compass direc-
tion is shown in the display, indicating that
calibration is complete. Then drive a further
2 circles to fine-tune calibration.
