Setting Compass Variance (Mid Line Cluster Only)
Compass Variance is the difference between magnetic
North and geographic North. To allow the compass
module to compensate for that difference and ensure
accuracy, you can set the variance in the compass module
to the zone where the vehicle is located according to the
Compass Variance Map. To set the variance, perform the
following procedure.
NOTE:
• Magnetic materials should be kept away from the top
of the instrument panel, as this is where the compass
sensor is located.
• The shift lever must be in PARK to enter the variance
setting mode.
To set the variance, first, turn the ignition switch to the
ON position. Next, press and hold the COMPASS/
TEMPERATURE DISPLAY button until the current
variance zone number displays (approximately 10
seconds). Then, press and release the button to incre-
ment the variance value by one, until the proper
variance zone is selected according to the map. Finally,
turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position to exit
this mode.
