ZONE VARIATION CHANGE
PROCEDURE
The difference between magnetic north and geo-
graphical north is known as variance. In some
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. Press the COMPASS switch for more than 3
seconds. The current zone number will ap-
pear in the display.
2. Find your current location on the zone map.
Refer to the illustration. Record the zone
number.
3. Press the COMPASS switch until the new
zone number appears in the display. After
you stop pressing the switch in, the display
will show a compass direction within a few
seconds.
Inaccurate compass direction:
1. With the display turned on, push the COM-
PASS switch for 3 seconds, until the zone
selection comes up (a number will be dis-
played in the mirror compass window) .
2. Toggle until correct zone is found and re-
lease switch.

3. The display will show all segments, and re-
turn to the normal compass mode within 10
seconds of no switch activity.
4. If the vehicle changes zone, repeat steps 1
through 3. See map.
cIf the compass deviates from the correct
indication soon after repeated adjustment,
have the compass checked at an authorized
dealer.
cThe compass may not indicate the correct
compass point in tunnels or while driving up
or down a steep hill. (The compass returns
to the correct compass point when the ve-
hicle moves to an area where the geomag-
netism is stabilized.)
CAUTION
cDo not install a ski rack, antenna, etc.,
which are attached to the vehicle by
means of a magnet. They affect the op-
eration of the compass.
cWhen cleaning the mirror, use a paper
towel or similar material dampened
with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass
cleaner directly on the mirror as it may
cause the liquid cleaner to enter the
mirror housing.
