Compass Variance
Compass Variance is the difference between Magnetic
North and Geographic North. To compensate for the
differences, the variance should be set for the zone where
the vehicle is driven, per the zone map. Once properly set,
the compass will automatically compensate for the differ-
ences and provide the most accurate compass heading.
NOTE:
Magnetic materials should be kept away from the
top of the instrument panel; this is where the compass
sensor is located.
To Change The Compass Variance:
1. Turn the ignition switch RUN (it is not necessary to start
the engine).
2. Push the
MENU
button until Personal Settings
(Customer-Programmable Features) displays in the in-
strument cluster display.
3. Push the
down
arrow button until “Compass Variance”
message and the last variance zone number displays in
the instrument cluster display.
4. Push and release the
right
arrow button until the proper
variance zone is selected according to the map.
5. Push and release the
COMPASS
button to exit.
