the ªCALº symbol will turn off and the compass will
function normally.
Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic and the ªCALº symbol
does not appear, you must put the compass into the
Calibration Mode manually.
To put into a Calibration Mode:Turn on the ignition
switch and set the display to Comp/Temp. Press the
RESET button on vehicles equipped with a Compass/
Mini Trip Computer for at least 10 seconds until the
ªCALº symbol appears. On vehicles equipped with
Compass/Temp press and hold the C/T and US/M

complete three 360É turns in an area free from large metal
objects. The ªCALº symbol will turn off and the compass
will function normally.
CAUTION!
Do not place any external magnets, such as magnetic
roof mount antennas, in the vicinity of the compass.
Do not use magnetic tools when servicing the over-
head console.
Compass Variance
Compass Variance is the difference between magnetic
North and Geographic North. In some areas of the
country, the difference between magnetic and geographic
North is great enough to cause the compass to give false
readings. If this occurs, the compass variance must be set.
NOTE:Magnetic materials should be kept away from
the overhead console.
122 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

To set the variance:Turn the ignition switch ON and set
the display to Comp/Temp. On vehicles equipped with a
Compass/Mini Trip Computer press the RESET button
for approximately 5 seconds. On vehicles equipped with
Compass/Temp press and hold the C/T and US/M
buttons for 5 seconds. The ªVARº symbol will light and
the last variance zone number will be displayed. Press
the STEP button on vehicles equipped with a Compass/
Mini Trip Computer or the US/M button on vehicles
equipped with Compass/Temp to select the proper vari-
ance zone as shown in the map. Press the RESET button
on vehicles equipped with a Compass/Mini Trip Com-
puter or the C/T button on vehicles equipped with
