Compass Calibration
Under certain circumstances, such as during
a long distance cross-country trip, it will be
necessary to compensate for compass variance
and reset the zone through the DIC.
Compass variance is the difference between the
earth’s magnetic north and true geographic
north. If not adjusted to account for compass
variance, the compass in the vehicle could give
false readings.
In order to do this, the compass must be set or
calibrated to the variance zone in which the vehicle
is traveling.
To adjust for compass variance, use the following
procedure:
1. Press the menu button until COMPASS ZONE
displays.2. Find the vehicle’s current location and
variance zone number on the map.
3. Press the set/reset button to scroll through
and select the appropriate variance zone.

4. Press the menu button to advance to the
COMPASS CALIBRATION screen.
5. To start the compass calibration, press and
hold the set/reset button until CALIBRATION
BEGUN DRIVE UNTIL DONE appears in
the DIC display.
6. Drive the vehicle slowly in a circle two times
to activate the compass.
When the calibration is complete, the DIC will
display CALIBRATION FINISHED.
7. If the message CAL appears in the DIC, you
must manually put the compass into the
calibration mode again. Repeat
Steps 1 through 6.DIC Warnings and Messages
Messages are displayed on the DIC to notify the
driver that the status of the vehicle has changed
and that some action may be needed by the driver
to correct the condition. Multiple messages may
appear one after another.
Some messages may not require immediate
action, but you can press any of the DIC buttons
to acknowledge that you received the message
and clear it from the DIC display.
Some messages cannot be cleared from the DIC
display because they are more urgent. These
messages require action before they can be
cleared.
If there are any active warning messages when the
vehicle is turned off, two chimes sound and the DIC
goes into a reminder mode. The reminder mode
displays any active message. If there are multiple
messages, the DIC displays each message for ve
seconds. After each active message is displayed
once, the reminder mode turns off.
You should take any messages that appear on
the display seriously and remember that clearing
the messages will only make the messages
disappear, not correct the problem.
