Default Compass in rear view mirror.

Hi all:

The digital compass in the rear view mirror on my 2002 A6 is just displaying "C". Does anyone know what that means? I checked the manual and nothing is mentioned about it.
Is there a way to reset or calabrate the compass?

Thanx in advance for your help.

–
Switch on ignition.



–
ā€œCā€ must appear on display.



–
If ā€œCā€ does not appear, press a thin object (e.g. ballpoint pen) against the adjuster switch on the underside of the mirror until ā€œCā€ is displayed.



–
Drive slowly (approx. 10 km/h) 2-3 times in a circle until point of the compass is displayed.


Zone setting






–
Switch on ignition.



–
Use thin object (e.g. ballpoint pen) to press against adjuster switch on underside of mirror until appropriate zone number is displayed.



–
Zones are shown on the adjacent map.



–
A point of the compass appears on the display after several seconds

Yup, that about covers it...FYI - The "C" stands for "calibrate"

Dave:

Thanks for the info. It worked. I still can't believe that there is nothing in the manual about the compass.

Regards,

Jim

The reason its not there is because its not supposed to lose calibration.
