Compass in inside rearview mirror
A compass and a garage door opener can be inte-
grated in the rearview mirror as a special equipment
option.
The semitransparent display has two functions:
• Compass OFF: mirror function only, display
invisible
• Compass ON: direction of travel is displayed
The interfering magnetic fields produced by the
vehicle are balanced out via a calibration system. 15
zones have been defined to compensate for the fluctu-
ations in the magnetic field of the Earth. The magnetic
field zones can also be corrected via a switch on the
mirror.
Operation
There is a switch on the underside of the mirror for the
following functions:
• Display on / off
• Zone adjustment for Earth's magnetic field (for
worldwide usage)
• Calibration
