Setting compass zones
Depending on where you and your vehi-
cle are located, it is necessary to set
the appropriate compass zone, refer to
world map with compass zones,
page 118.
To set the compass zone, press the
adjusting button in the mirror frame for
approx. 3-4 seconds with a sharp
object, e.g. a ball-point pen or the like.
The display indicates the number of the
currently set compass zone.

To change the zone setting, press the
adjusting button repeatedly until the
number of the compass zone that
applies to your current position is dis-
played.
The compass will be operational again
after approximately 10 seconds.
For automatic dimming action, refer to

dimming feature on page 138.
Calibrating digital compass
In the following situations, the digital
compass must be calibrated:
> C or CAL appears on the display
> The wrong cardinal direction appears
on the display
> The cardinal direction displayed does
not change despite a change in the
direction of travel
> Not all cardinal directions are dis-
played.
How to correct this:
1. Make sure that there are no large
metal objects or overhead power
lines in the vicinity of your vehicle
and that you have enough space to
drive in a circle
2. Input the currently applicable com-
pass zone
3. Press the adjustment button to bring
up C or CAL. Then drive in a com-
plete circle at a maximum speed of
4mph/7km/h.
If the calibration was successful, the
displays C or CAL are replaced with
the points of the compass.
