Automatic dimming

Bright light from behind is automatically dimmed
by the rearview mirror. The control for manual
dimming is not available on mirrors with auto-
matic dimming.

The rearview mirror contains two sensors - one
forward facing and one rearward facing - that
work together to identify and eliminate dazzling
light. The forward facing sensor detects ambient
light, while the rearward facing sensor detects
the light from vehicle headlights behind.

If the sensors are obscured by e.g. parking
permits, transponders, sun visors or objects in
the seats or in the cargo area in such a way
that light is prevented from reaching the sen-
sors, then the dimming function of the interior
rearview and door mirrors is reduced.

Calibrating the compass

The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones. The
compass should be calibrated if the car is
moved between several magnetic zones.

Proceed as follows to perform calibration:

1. Stop the car in a large open area free from

steel structures and high-voltage power lines.

2. Start the car and switch off all electrical

equipment (air conditioning, wipers, etc.) and
ensure that all doors are closed.

Calibration may fail or not start at all if electri-
cal equipment is not switched off.

3. Hold the button on the underside of the rear-

view mirror depressed (use a paper clip or
similar) for approx. 3 seconds. The number of
the current magnetic zone is shown.

Magnetic zones.

4. Press the button repeatedly until the

required magnetic zone (

1–15

) is shown.

See the map of magnetic zones for the com-
pass.

5. Wait until the display returns to showing the

character

, or hold the button on the under-

side of the rearview mirror depressed for
approx. 6 seconds until the character

shown.

6. Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no more

than 10 km/h (6 mph) until a compass direc-
tion is shown in the display, indicating that
calibration is complete. Then drive a further 2
circles to fine-tune calibration.
