Interio r E quipme ntFRONT INTERIOR & LOADSPACE LIGHTS
Switch positions:
•‘OFF’ - Light permanently off.
•‘ON’ - Light illuminates continuously.
With the switch in the centre position, the 
interior light illuminates automatically 
whenever the vehicle is unlocked, when the 
starter switch is turned off (to position ‘0’), or 
when a door or taildoor is opened.  The light 
remains illuminated for 15 seconds after the 
doors and taildoor are closed, or until the 
starter switch is turned on.
After driving, the interior lights will fade and 
then extinguish as soon as the vehicle is locked 
or when the last door is closed.
NOTE: When the light is switched for automatic 
operation (switch in centre position), a 
‘time-out’ function extinguishes the lights after 
8 minutes approx. if a door is left open, to 
prevent the battery from discharging.
REAR INTERIOR LIGHTS 
Press the switch to illuminate (or extinguish) 
the lights manually.
Lights illuminate automatically when the 
vehicle is unlocked or whenever a door or 
taildoor is opened, and extinguish 
approximately 15 seconds after ALL the doors 
are closed, or as soon as the starter switch is 
turned on.
GLOVEBOX LIGHT
Illuminates automatically whenever the 
glovebox is opened, provided the sidelights are 
switched on, and extinguishes when the 
glovebox is closed.

use a maximum of 180 watts.
Always run the engine during prolonged use of 
electrical accessories, otherwise the battery 
may become discharged.

Interior Mirror & CompassINTERIOR REAR-VIEW MIRROR
The automatic rear view mirror is equipped with 
an automatic dimming function which operates 
whenever the starter switch is turned to 
position ‘II’. When powered, the mirror will 
automatically reduce glare from the headlights 
of following vehicles in dark or low light 
conditions. 
For information about the compass display, see 
the following pages.
COMPASS FUNCTION
WARNING
The compass is a direction aid only. While 
drivers may wish to observe the compass 
display while driving, it must not be allowed 
to distract from proper observation of traffic, 
road conditions and other hazards, either on 
the public highway or while driving off-road, 
in order to avoid an accident or personal 
injury. 
Whenever the starter switch is turned to 
position II, the vehicles direction of travel - ‘N’, 
‘NE’, ‘E’, ‘SE’, ‘S’, ‘SW’, ‘W’ or ‘NW’ - will be 
displayed in the mirror display. The display will 
change whenever the vehicle direction changes 
by more than 22.5 degrees from the midpoint of 
each compass segment (a short time delay is 
incorporated to prevent nuisance changes 
occurring).
To ensure accuracy, the compass must be 
calibrated and also set to the compass set zone 
in which the vehicle is to be used (see the 
appropriate map page that follows). Both 
operations will have been carried out before the 
vehicle was delivered. Re-calibration will not 
normally be necessary unless the vehicle 
battery has been disconnected for a period of 
time.

Calibrating the compass
Turn the starter switch to position II. The mirror 
display should show the letter ‘C’.
If C is not displayed, use a ballpoint pen or 
similar probe to press the button on the 
underside of the mirror for six seconds until ‘C’ 
is displayed. The button can then be released 
and the compass calibrated as follows:
Calibrate the compass by driving the vehicle in 
circles at 5 mph (7 km/h) or less (two circles 
should be sufficient) until the mirror display 
shows a direction (‘N’, ‘NE’, ‘E’, ‘SE’, ‘S’, ‘SW’, 
‘W’ or ‘NW’). 
Alternatively, the compass will eventually 
calibrate itself during normal vehicle use, but 
depending upon the type of driving that is 
undertaken, this may take considerably longer.Setting the compass
Variations in the earths magnetic field cause 
changes to occur in the compass reading as the 
vehicle is driven from one set zone to another. 
However, it should be noted that magnetic 
variation between adjacent zones is only 4 
degrees, and for most motoring situations, 
resetting the compass should only be 
necessary if the vehicle has crossed more than 
one zone, or calibration was carried out in any 
zone other than zone 8. 
Note that the precise points at which the set 
zones change cannot be accurately plotted and 
that drivers situated in an area where zones 
merge should not need to reset the compass 
every time the vehicle crosses from one to 
another.
To set the compass:
1.Identify the appropriate zone for your 
location (see the map that follows). 
2.Turn the starter switch to position II.
3.Using a ballpoint pen or similar probe, 
press and hold the button on the 
underside of the mirror until a zone 
number appears in the display. This will 
take approximately 3 seconds (note that 
the compass automatically defaults to 
zone 8). 
4.Release the button, then continue 
pressing and releasing the button 
alternately until the required zone number 
appears in the display. 
5.Once the set zone has been selected, the 
display reappears (after 10 seconds 
approx.), and the compass is correctly set 
for the required zone.
