Compass Variation Adjustment

COMPASS VARIATION ADJUSTMENT





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 according to the compass variance map.

To set the variance: Turn the ignition to the ON position. Press and hold the center button for 3 to 6 seconds. The last variance zone number will be displayed. Each press of the center button will select a new variance zone. When the proper zone is selected, wait 5 seconds to resume normal operation.
