racy, the compass variance should be properly set accord-
ing to the variance map for the zone where the vehicle

cell phones, iPod’s, radar detectors, PDA’s and laptops)
should be kept away from the top of the instrument
panel. This is where the compass module is located and
such devices may interfere and cause false compass
readings.To Set the Variance:with the ignition in the ON position,

release the EVIC button several times until you have
displayed the “Personal Settings (Customer-
Programmable Features)” menu. Once in the “Personal
