Compass: Adjustments
Setting Compass Variance
DEFINITION: Variance is the difference between magnetic north and geographic north. To determine the variance for the area you are in, refer to the
zone map below. The number shown for your area is the variance number for your area (continued on the following page).
1. Set the Compass/Mini-Trip Console (CMTC) to compass/temperature mode.
2. Press and hold down both the US/METRIC button and the STEP button for 5 seconds.
NOTE: If the buttons are held for 10 seconds instead of 5, the CMTC will set the variance to 8 and enter the fast calibration mode.
3. The VAR light will come on and the last variance setting will be displayed.
4. Press the STEP button to set the zone number and resume normal operation.
NOTE: Do not attach any magnetic device such as a magnetic CB antenna to the vehicle. This can cause the compass to give false readings.
