Compass Variance
Compass Variance is the difference between
Magnetic North and Geographic North. To com-pensate for the differences, the variance should
be set for the zone where the vehicle is driven,
per the zone map. Once properly set, the com-
pass will automatically compensate for the dif-
ferences and provide the most accurate com-
pass heading.
NOTE:
Magnetic and battery powered devices,
(such as cell phones, iPod’s, radar detec-
tors, PDA’s, and laptops) should be kept
away from the top of the instrument panel.
This is where the compass module is lo-
cated and such devices may interfere and
cause false compass readings.1. Place the ignition in the ON position.
2. Push and hold theCOMPASSbutton for
approximately two seconds.
3. Push theDOWN
arrow button until
“Compass Variance” message and the last
variance zone number displays in the EVIC.

arrow but-
ton until the proper variance zone is selected
according to the map.

NOTE:
The factory default Zone is 8. During pro-
gramming, the Zone value will wrap around
from Zone 15 to Zone 1.
Automatic Compass Calibration
When the vehicle is new, the compass may
appear erratic and the EVIC will display “CAL”
until the compass is calibrated. You may also
calibrate the compass by completing one or
more 360 degree turns (in an area free from
large metal or metallic objects) until the “CAL”

Use MOPAR Total Clean to clean vinyl uphol-
stery.
MOPAR Total Clean is specifically recom-
mended for leather upholstery.
Your leather upholstery can be best preserved
by regular cleaning with a damp soft cloth.
Small particles of dirt can act as an abrasive
and damage the leather upholstery and should
be removed promptly with a damp cloth. Stub-
born soils can be removed easily with a soft
cloth and MOPAR Total Clean. Care should be
taken to avoid soaking your leather upholstery
with any liquid. Please do not use polishes, oils,
cleaning fluids, solvents, detergents, or
ammonia-based cleaners to clean your leather
upholstery. Application of a leather conditioner
is not required to maintain the original condition.
WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning
purposes. Many are potentially flammable,
and if used in closed areas they may cause
respiratory harm.
CAUTION!
Direct contact of air fresheners, insect repel-
lents, suntan lotions, or hand sanitizers to
the plastic, painted, or decorated surfaces of
the interior may cause permanent damage.
Wipe away immediately.
CAUTION!
Damage caused by these type of products
may not be covered by your New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
CAUTION!
Do not use Alcohol and Alcohol-based and/or
Keton based cleaning products to clean
leather seats, as damage to the seat may
result.Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle has plastic headlights that are
lighter and less susceptible to stone breakage
than glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and
therefore different lens cleaning procedures
must be followed.
To minimize the possibility of scratching the
lenses and reducing light output, avoid wiping
with a dry cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with
a mild soap solution followed by rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning components, sol-
vents, steel wool or other aggressive material to
clean the lenses.
Glass Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned on a
regular basis with MOPAR Glass Cleaner, or
any commercial household-type glass cleaner.
Never use an abrasive type cleaner. Use cau-
tion when cleaning the inside rear window
equipped with electric defrosters or windows
equipped with radio antennas. Do not use
scrapers or other sharp instrument that may
scratch the elements.
