 Variance
Press the Variance soft-key to change this display.
Compass Variance is the difference between Magnetic

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 compen-sate for the differences, and provide the most accurate
compass heading.
NOTE:
Keep magnetic materials away from the top
of the instrument panel, such as iPod's, Mobile Phones,
Laptops and Radar Detectors. This is where the com-
pass module is located, and it can cause interference
with the compass sensor, and it may give false readings.

turn signals, headlight beam selection and passing lights.
The multifunction lever is located on the left side of the
steering column.
TURN SIGNALS
Move the multifunction lever up or down and the
arrows on each side of the instrument cluster flash to
show proper operation of the front and rear turn signallights.
NOTE:
• If either light remains on and does not flash, or there
is a very fast flash rate, check for a defective outside
light bulb. If an indicator fails to light when the lever is
moved, it would suggest that the indicator bulb is
defective.
• A “Turn Signal On” message will appear in the EVIC
(if equipped) and a continuous chime will sound if the
vehicle is driven more than 1.6 km with either turn
signal on.

moved to the LOCK position. This will occur if the
interior lights were switched on manually or are on
because a door is open. This includes the glove box
light, but not the trunk light. To restore interior light
operation, either turn the ignition switch ON or cycle
the light switch.
