 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 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.
