Rain sensor
*
The rain sensor automatically regulates wiper speed according to the amount of water on thewindshield.
The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be adjusted moving the thumb wheel up (the wipers willsweep the windshield more frequently) or down(the wipers will sweep the windshield less fre-quently).
NOTE
The wipers will make an extra sweep each time the thumb wheel is adjusted upward.
When the rain sensor is activated, the symbol
will illuminate in the instrument panel.
Activating and setting the sensitivity
When activating the rain sensor, the vehicle must be running or in ignition mode II and the wind-
shield wiper lever must be in position 0 or in the
single sweep position. Activate the rain sensor by pressing the button

For the power windows to function, the ignition must be in at least mode I. When the vehicle has
been running, the power windows can be oper- ated for several minutes after the remote key has been removed from the ignition slot, or until adoor has been opened.
NOTE
•
Movement of the windows will stop if they are obstructed in any way.
• To reduce buffeting wind noise if the rearwindows are opened, also open the frontwindows slightly.
Manual up/down
–Move one of the controls up/down slightly.
> The power windows move up/down as
long as the control is held in position.
Auto up/down

Digital compass*
The rear-view mirror has an integrated display that shows the compass direction in which thevehicle 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 (southwest), 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, paperclip or simi- lar object and press in the button on the under-side of the mirror.
CalibrationNorth America is divided into 15 magnetic zonesand the compass will need to be calibrated if thevehicle is driven into a new one (see the mag-netic zones on the map in the following section"Selecting a magnetic zone"). To do so:
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. 6 seconds until
C is displayed
in the mirror.
4. Press and hold the button for 3 seconds until the number of the current magnetic zone is displayed. 5. Press the button repeatedly until the number
of the desired magnetic zone (
1-15) is dis-
played. See the magnetic zones on the map in the following section "Selecting a mag-netic zone").
6. Wait until
C is again displayed in the mirror.
7. 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.
8. Drive around in a circle an additional two times to fine-tune the calibration.
9. Vehicles with an electrically heated wind- shield: * if
C is displayed when the heating
function is activated, perform step 7 with the heating function on. See also Max. defroster and electrically heated windshield * (p. 133)
for additional information about the heated windshield.
Repeat the calibration procedure if necessary.
20 The auto-dim function is also available as an option on the door mirrors.

Panoramic roof * – introduction
The laminated panoramic roof is divided into two sections. The rear glass section is fixed in placeand cannot be moved but the front glass sectioncan be slid horizontally to the open or closedpositions or its rear edge can be raised and low-ered to allow ventilation.
IntroductionAll references in this section to opening or clos- ing the panoramic roof pertain to the front glasssection. The laminated panoramic roof also has a sun shade made of perforated fabric that is locatedbelow the sections of glass. This shade can beopened or closed, for example when driving inbright sunlight.
Both the laminated panoramic roof and the sun shade are operated by the controls in the ceiling console, near the rear-view mirror. The vehicle's ignition must be in mode
I or II before the lami-
nated panoramic roof/sun shade can be oper- ated.
CAUTION
• Remove ice and snow before opening the laminated panoramic roof.
• Do not operate the laminated panoramicroof if it is frozen closed.
• Never place heavy objects on the lamina-ted panoramic roof.
Wind blocker
The laminated panoramic roof is equipped with a wind blocker that folds up when the roof is open.
