Setting NameSelectable Options
Variance 123456789101112131415
NOTE:
•Compass Variance is the difference between Magnetic North and Geographic North. To compensate for the differ-
ences 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 heading.
•Keep magnetic materials away from the top of the instrument panel, such as iPod’s, Mobile Phones, Laptops and
Radar Detectors. This is where the compass module is located, and it can cause interference with the compass sen-
sor, and it may give false readings. Perform Compass Calibration On Off
NOTE: 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
until it is calibrated. You may also calibrate the compass by pressing the “ON” button on the touchscreen and com-
pleting one or more 360-degree turns (in an area free from large metal or metallic objects). The compass will now
function normally.
