Compass Settings — Uconnect® 5.0
After pressing the “Compass Settings” button on the

touchscreen the following 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 head-

ing.
NOTE:

Keep magnetic materials, such as iPod’s®, Mo-

bile Phones, Laptops and Radar Detectors, away from the

top of the instrument panel where the compass module is

located. These materials can cause interference with the

compass sensor, and it may give false readings.

• Perform Compass Calibration
Push the Compass button on the faceplate, then 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 and the
