Compass Variance
Compass variance is the difference between magnetic
north and geographic north. In some areas of the
country, the difference is great enough to cause the
compass to give false readings. If this occurs, the
compass variance must be set.
Setting the Variance
Turn the ignition on and cycle the DIC to the
Compass/Temperature mode. Press the RESET button
for about five seconds.
The last entered variance zone number and VAR will be
displayed. Press the MODE button until the proper
variance zone number on the map is shown. Press the
RESET button to set the new variance zone and
resume normal operation.
All the display segments will be illuminated briefly to
acknowledge the change in zone number. A chime will
sound to confirm that the new zone number has been set.
Automatic Compass Calibration
The compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the
need to manually set the compass. When the vehicle is
new, the calibration process may not be complete. In
these cases CAL will be displayed, and all segments of
the compass will be illuminated where the compass
reading is normally displayed.
To calibrate the compass, in an area free from large
metal objects, make one to two 360° turns. The
calibration symbol will turn off and the compass reading
will be displayed.
