Depending on your current location, the compass zone must be set; see the map below.

To set the zone, press and hold the button located at the bottom edge of the mirror for 3–4 seconds using a suitable pointed object (for example, a ballpoint pen). The display shows the number of the currently set zone.
To change the zone, press the button repeatedly until the number corresponding to your location appears on the display.
After 10 seconds the compass is ready for operation again.
For information on automatic mirror dimming, see the section "Interior and exterior rear view mirrors with automatic dimming" on page 87.
