Night position, reduces glare from follow- ing headlights

Autodim function*

The autodim function reacts to headlights from following traffic and automatically reduces glare.

The upper left-hand corner of the rearview mir- ror has an integrated display that shows the compass direction toward which the car is pointing. Eight different directions can be dis- played: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W and NW. The display shows your car's orientation with respect to true north.

If the compass is activated, it will be displayed automatically when the ignition is in postilion II

Magnetic zones

The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones. The compass is initially set for the zone to which the car was delivered, and should always be adjusted if the car is driven to a new magnetic zone. To do so:

1. Switch the ignition to position II.
