2. Press and release the MENU button until Personal
Settings displays in the EVIC.

3. Press the UP or DOWN button until “CALIBRATE
COMPASS” displays in the EVIC.

4. Press and release the SELECT button to start the
calibration. The message “CAL” will display in the EVIC.

5. Slowly complete one or more 360-degree turns (in an
area free from large metal or metallic objects) until the
“CAL” message turns off. The compass will now function
normally.

Compass 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 compensate for the differ-
ences 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 compass
module is located, and it can cause interference with the
compass sensor, and it may give false readings.

1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
