Compass Settings — If Equipped
After pressing the “Compass Settings” button on the touchscreen, the following settings will be available:
Setting Name Selectable Options
Variance 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
NOTE:
• 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 auto -
matically compensate for the differences, and provide the most accurate compass heading.
• 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.

Calibration
On Off
NOTE:
Press the “Calibration” button on the touchscreen to change this setting. This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates
the need to manually reset the compass. When the vehicle is new, the compass may appear erratic until it is calibrated. You
may also calibrate the compass by pressing the “ON” button on the touchscreen and completing one or more 360-degree
turns (in an area free from large metal or metallic objects). The compass will now function normally.
