Calibrating the compass
North America is divided into 15 magnetic zones and the compass will need to be calibrated if thevehicle is driven from one zone to another.
To calibrate the compass:
1. Stop the vehicle in a large open area, safely out of traffic and away from steel structures and high-tension electrical wires.
2. Start the vehicle.
NOTE
• For best calibration results, switch off all electrical equipment in the vehicle (climatesystem, windshield wipers, audio system,etc.) and make sure that all doors areclosed.
• Calibration may not succeed or be incor-rect if the vehicle's electrical equipment isnot switched off.
3. Using a pen, paperclip or similar object, press
and hold the button on the underside of mir- ror for approx. 3 seconds until the number ofthe current magnetic zone is displayed.

or hold the button on the underside of mirror for approx. 6 seconds until
C is displayed in
the mirror.
6. Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no more than 6 mph (10 km/h) until a direction is dis- played. This indicates that calibration is com-plete. Drive around in a circle an additionaltwo times to fine-tune the calibration.

High beam flash
Continuous high beams
High beam flashPull the lever slightly toward the steering wheel. The high beams illuminate until the lever isreleased.
Continuous high beamsContinuous high beams are available if the light- ing ring is turned to 9 or . Toggle to
high beams by moving the lever forward. Return to low beams by moving the lever toward thesteering wheel. The
symbol will illuminate in the instrument
panel when the high beams are on.
Active high beamsThe active high beam system uses a camera at the upper edge of the windshield to detect theheadlights of oncoming vehicles or the taillightsof a vehicle directly ahead. When this happens,the headlights will automatically switch from highbeams to low beams. When the camera no longer detects an approaching vehicle or one that is ahead, yourheadlights will switch back to high beams.
Vehicles with halogen headlights 10
When the camera no longer detects the head- lights of an approaching vehicle or the taillightsof a vehicle ahead, your headlights will switchback to high beams after several seconds.
Operation
Activate/deactivate this function by turning the lighting ring past the
position to .When released, the ring will automatically return to the
position.
If the active high beam function has not been activated, switching between high and low beamsmust be done manually. A white symbol (
) in the instrument panel
indicates that the function has been activated. When the high beams are on, the symbol will change to blue.
NOTE
•Keep the windshield in front of the cam- era free of ice, snow, dirt, etc.
• Do not mount or in any way attach any-thing on the windshield that couldobstruct the camera.
If a message is displayed in the instru- ment panel saying that active highbeams are temporarily unavailable,switching between high and low beams
will have to be done manually. However, the light switch can remain in the
position. The
same applies if a message saying that the wind- shield sensors are blocked and the symbol above are displayed. The
symbol will go out if this
happens.
