Compass: Service and Repair
Compass Variation Adjustment
Compass variance, also known as magnetic declination, is the difference in angle between magnetic north and true geographic north. In some geographic
locations, the difference between magnetic and geographic north is great enough to cause the compass to give false readings. If this problem occurs, the
compass variance setting may need to be changed.
To set the compass variance:
Variance Setting
1. Using the Variance Settings map, find your geographic location and note the zone number.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. If the compass/thermometer data is not currently being displayed, momentarily depress and release the
STEP push button to reach the compass/thermometer display.
3. Depress the Reset push button and hold the button down until VAR = XX" appears in the display. This takes about five seconds.
4. Release the push button(s). VAR =XX will remain in the display. XX" equals the current variance zone setting.
5. Momentarily depress and release the STEP push button to step through the zone numbers, until the zone number for your geographic location
appears in the display.
6. Momentarily depress and release the RESET push button to enter the displayed zone number into the module memory.
7. Confirm that the correct directions are now indicated by the compass.
