areas, this difference can sometimes be great
enough to cause false compass readings. Follow
these instructions to set the variance for your
particular location if this happens:1. Establish your location on the zone map.
Refer to the illustration. Record your zone
number.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Push the MODE button in for 5 seconds until
