Compass Calibration
- Turn ON the ignition.
- Press the MODE button in order to advance to the COMP/TEMP mode.
- Simultaneously depress and hold the US/MET and MODE buttons until a C is displayed, in approximately 10 seconds.
- Release both buttons.
- Drive the vehicle in circles at a speed of less than 8 km/h (5 mph) until the C is replaced by a proper vehicle heading. The calibration procedure is now complete.
Important: Before calibrating the compass, drive the vehicle to a area that is magnetically clean, and free of large metallic objects.
Compass Magnetic Variation Adjustment
- Locate your geographic location. Refer to the variation zone map.
- Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
- Press the MODE button in order to advance to the COMP/TEMP mode.
- With the DIC in the COMP/TEMP mode, simultaneously depress and hold the MODE and US/MET buttons until VAR CAL is displayed, in approximately 5 seconds.
- Release both buttons.
- Press the US/MET button in order to advance to the proper zone number.
- Press the MODE button in order to enter and set the zone number.
Important: Magnetic variation adjustments are required when the compass displays a constant error in heading. Variation is the difference between magnetic north and true north due to geographical location.
