Calibrating the Electrochromic Mirror Compass Using Autocal

The Electrochromic Mirror has an "autocal" compass and will automatically calibrate itself, so that each vehicle's unique magnetic fields do not cause the mirror to display the wrong compass direction. This calibration happens during normal driving conditions. When the compass is calibrating a "C" will be displayed, calibration is complete when the "C" in the display changes to the correct directional heading. Once the mirror is calibrated it will not need to be recalibrated. The calibration will not be lost when the mirror or ignition switch is turned "OFF."
