Rearview Mirror (RCD Model): Adjustment: Calibration

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Subaru Outback and 2012 Subaru Legacy. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Before performing calibration, check the following items.
- There is a sufficient distance from a big metal object or a building.
- Vehicle is parked on a level surface.
- The switch of unnecessary accessories (A/C system, audio system and lighting system) is turned to "OFF".
- All doors are closed.
Start the engine.
Hold down the multi-function button (a) for six to nine seconds. Once calibration mode starts, "C" is displayed on the screen (b).

Drive the vehicle in a circle until the display of "C" on the screen goes off. (Approx. two or three times)
Display the compass to check the operation.
CAUTION: The mirror may not be able to perform the reading correctly. Therefore, when the compass operates only to the specific direction, repeat steps 3 to 5.
