Interior rearview mirror
The interior rearview mirror has an auto-dim function that helps reduce glare from follow-ing vehicle's headlights.
Auto-dim functionThe interior rearview mirror’s auto-dim func-tion is controlled by two sensors: one point-ing forward (located on the forward-facingside of the mirror, which monitors the amountof ambient light) and one pointing rearward(located on the side of the mirror facing thedriver at the upper edge, which senses thestrength of following vehicles' headlights), and work together to help eliminate glare. 21
NOTE
Obstructing the forward sensor with e.g., parking stickers, transponders, etc., or therear sensor by loading the cargo area orthe rear seat in such a way that light isprevented from reaching the sensor willreduce the auto-dim function in the interiorrearview mirror and optional auto-dimfunction in the door mirrors.

Digital compass*
The rear-view mirror has an integrated display that shows the compass direction in whichthe vehicle is traveling.
Operation
Rearview mirror with compass.
Eight different directions are shown with the abbreviations:
N (north), NE (north east), E(east), SE (southeast), S (south), SW (south-
west), W (west) and NW (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 buttonon the underside of the mirror.
CalibrationNorth America is divided into 15 magneticzones 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 thefollowing section "Selecting a magneticzone"). To do so:
1. Stop the vehicle in a large open area, safely out of traffic and away from steel structures and high-tension electricalwires.
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 thatall doors are closed.
• Calibration may not succeed or beincorrect if the vehicle's electricalequipment 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.
21The auto-dim function is also available as an option on the door mirrors.

Spin Control (SC)The SC function is designed to help prevent the drive wheels from spinning while the vehi-cle is accelerating.
Active Yaw Control (AYC)This function helps maintain directional stabil- ity, for example when cornering, by brakingone or more of the wheels if the vehicleshows a tendency to skid or slide laterally.
Corner Traction Control (CTC)CTC compensates for understeering and helps provide additional stability when accel-erating through a curve by preventing theinside wheel from spinning. This is particularlyuseful when accelerating on a curving high-way on-ramp. CTC is most effective if the stability system's Sport mode is selected. See the section
about Sport mode.
Engine Drag Control (EDC)EDC helps keep the engine running if the wheels show a tendency to lock, e.g., whenshifting down in the Geartronic manual shift-ing mode or while using the engine's brakingfunction on a slippery surface. If the enginewere to stop, power steering would not func-tion, making the vehicle more difficult tosteer.
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA)The TSA helps stabilize a vehicle that is tow- ing a trailer when the vehicle and trailer have begun to sway. See Trailer Stability Assist(TSA) (p. 288) for more information. This system is automatically deactivated if the driver selects
Sport mode.

Stability system – operation
Operation
Sport modeThe stability system is always activated and cannot be switched off.
However, the driver canselect Sport mode, which
offers more active drivingcharacteristics. Sport mode can be selected
in the MY CAR menus, see
My Car – introduction (p. 74).
In Sport mode, the engine management sys-
tem monitors movement of the accelerator pedal and steering wheel for sportier drivingby allowing more lateral movement of the rearwheels before ESC is activated. Under certain circumstances, such as when driving with snow chains, or driving in deepsnow or loose sand, it may be advisable totemporarily use Sport mode for maximum
tractive force. If the driver releases pressure on the acceler- ator pedal, ETC will also activate to help sta-bilize the vehicle. To switch to Sport mode:
Sport mode remains active until the driver
switches it off in the menu or until the engine is switched off. ETC will return to normalmode when the engine is restarted.
