Normal position  
The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones.  
The upper right-hand corner of the rearview  
mirror 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.  
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. A "C" will be displayed if cali-  
bration becomes necessary.
