Calibrating the compass

  • Make sure that there is sufficient space for you to drive in a circle without impeding the remaining traffic.

In order to calibrate the compass correctly, observe the following points:

  • calibrate the compass in the open and not in the vicinity of steel constructions or highvoltage transmission lines.
  • switch off electrical consumers, for example, the climate control, windshield wipers or rear window defroster.
  • close all doors and the tailgate.
  • Switch the ignition on.
  • Press a round pin into opening 3() for approximately six seconds until the C symbol appears in compass display 2().
  • Drive a full circle at approximately 3 mph (5 km/h) to 6 mph (10 km/h). Once the calibration has been successfully completed, the current direction appears in compass display 2().
