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.

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
electrical equipment is not switched off.

3. Hold the button on the underside of the

rearview mirror depressed for
approx. 3 seconds (use a paper clip, for
example). The number for 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
compass.

5. Wait until the display returns to showing

the character

, or hold the button on the

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

is shown.

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

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

Cars with heated windscreen

If the

character

is shown in the display when

the heated windscreen is activated, per-
form the calibration in accordance with
point 6 above with the heated windscreen
activated.

8. Repeat the above procedure as necessary.

SOUND, MEDIA AND INTERNET

* Option/accessory.

Sound, media and Internet

The audio and media system consists of
media player and radio. You can also connect
a phone via Bluetooth to use handsfree func-
tions or play music wirelessly in the car.
When the car is connected to the Internet
you can also use apps for media playback.

Overview of audio and media

Control the functions with your voice, steering
wheel keypad or the centre display. The num-
ber of speakers and amplifiers depends on
which audio system the car is equipped with.

System updating

The audio and media system is continuously
improved. It is recommended to download
system updates when new ones are available.

Audio settings

The sound reproduction quality is preset, but
it can be adjusted as well.

The volume is normally adjusted with the vol-
ume control below the centre display or with
the right-hand steering wheel keypad. This
applies, for example, during playback of music,
radio, ongoing phone calls and active traffic
messages.

Sound reproduction

The sound system is pre-calibrated by means
of digital signal processing. This calibration
takes into account loudspeakers, amplifiers,
passenger compartment acoustics, listener
position, etc., for each combination of car
model and audio system. There is also a
dynamic calibration that takes into account
the setting of the volume control and vehicle
speed.

RDS radio

RDS (Radio Data System) means that the
radio automatically changes to the strongest
transmitter. RDS provides the ability to
receive e.g. traffic information and to search
for certain programme types.

RDS links FM transmitters into a network. An
FM transmitter in such a network sends infor-
mation that gives an RDS radio the following
functions:

•

Switch automatically to a stronger trans-
mitter if reception in the area is poor.

•

Search for programme category, e.g. pro-
gramme types or traffic information.

•

Receive text information on current radio
programme.

Some radio stations do not use RDS or
only selected parts of its functionality.

When broadcasting news or traffic messages,
the radio can switch stations, interrupting the
audio source currently in use. The radio returns
to the previous audio source and volume when
the set programme type is no longer broad-
cast. To go back earlier, press

on the

right-hand steering wheel keypad or tap

Cancel

in the centre display.
