Compass Settings

After pressing the Compass Settings soft-key the follow-
ing settings will be available.
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
differences, 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, Laptop
Computers and Radar Detectors. This is where the com-
pass module is located, and it can cause interference with
the compass sensor, and it may give false readings.

Perform Compass Calibration

Touch the Calibration soft-key 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 and the EVIC will display
CAL until the compass is calibrated. You may also
