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.

1–15) is displayed (see the map of mag-
netic zones).
5. Wait until
C is again displayed in the mirror
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.
7. Vehicles with an electrically heated wind- shield: * if
C is displayed when the heating
function is activated, perform step 6 with the heating function on.

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 11
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

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
