Compass Variance
Compass variance is the difference between magnetic

compass to give false readings. If this occurs, the
compass variance must be set.

Compass/Temperature mode. Press the RESET button
for about ®ve seconds. The last entered variance
zone number and VAR will be displayed. Press the

All the display segments will be illuminated brie¯y to
acknowledge the change in zone number. A chime will
sound to con®rm that the new zone number has
been set.
Automatic Compass Calibration
The compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the
need to manually set the compass. When the vehicle is
new, the calibration process may not be complete. In
these cases CAL will be displayed, and all segments of
the compass will be illuminated where the compass
reading is normally displayed.
To calibrate the compass, in an area free from large
metal objects, make one to two 360É turns. The
calibration symbol will turn off and the compass reading
will be displayed.
Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic and the calibration
symbol does not appear, you must manually put the
compass into the calibration mode.
Turn the ignition on and cycle the DIC to the
Compass/Temperature mode. Press the RESET button
for at least 10 seconds until the calibration symbol
appears and all segments of the compass display are
illuminated. A chime will sound to con®rm that the
calibration mode is active. Release the button and
complete two or three 360É turns in an area free from
large metal objects. The calibration symbol will turn
off and the compass reading will be displayed. A chime
will sound to verify that the calibration is complete.
