Calibrating digital compass

Calibrate the digital compass In the following
situations:

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 displayed.

Procedure

Make sure that there are no large metal
objects or overhead power lines in the vicin-
ity of your vehicle and that you have enough
space to drive in a circle.

Input the currently applicable compass
zone.

Press the adjustment button for approx.
6-7 seconds to display C. Then drive in a
complete circle at least once at a maximum
speed of 4 mph/7 km/h.
If the calibration is successful, display C is
replaced with the points of the compass.

Setting right/left-hand drive vehicle

Your digital compass is already set to right or
left-hand drive vehicle to match your vehicle at
the factory.

Setting language

You can set the language of the display.
Press the adjustment button for approx.
12-13 seconds. Briefly press the adjustment
button again to change between English "E"
and German "O".
The setting is automatically stored after approx.
10 seconds.
