To Reset the Display
This compass mini-trip computer features several functions that can be reset. If both the Step and U.S./ Metric push buttons are depressed at the
same time with the ignition switch in the ON position, the trip computer information that can be reset is reset. Depressing and releasing the Step
and U.S./Metric push buttons at the same time for more than 100 milliseconds, but not more than one second while in any display mode (except
the Compass/Temperature mode) will cause a local reset. A local reset affects only the function currently displayed. See the Reset Chart below for
more information on this feature. Performing a local reset while in the compass/temperature mode enters the module into the compass variance
setting mode.

Depressing and releasing the Step and U.S./Metric push buttons at the same time for more than two seconds while in any display mode (except the
compass/temperature mode) will cause a global reset. A global reset changes all of the trip computer functions that can be reset. Performing a
global reset while in the compass/temperature mode toggles the compass/temperature display back and forth from compass/temperature to
compass/compass in degrees.
For more information on the features and control functions of the compass mini-trip computer, see the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box.
To set the Compass Variance:
Turn the ignition ON and set display to Comp/Temp. Simultaneously press both the US/M and STEP button for 0 to 2 seconds. The VAR
indicator will light up and the current zone number will be displayed. Press STEP button to select the proper variance zone as shown on the map.
After 5 seconds of inactivity, the displayed zone will be automatically set, and normal operation will resume.
