If the display reads “C”, calibrate the compass by driving the vehicle in three complete circles at less than 5 MPH (8 km/h).
You can also calibrate the compass by driving your vehicle on your everyday route. The compass will be calibrated once it has tracked three complete circles.
Zone variation change procedure
The difference between magnetic north and geographical 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:
- Press and hold the
button
for about 11 seconds. The current zone number will appear in the display. Release the button. - Find your current location on the zone map.
Refer to the illustration.
- Press the
button repeatedly
to toggle through the zone numbers until the desired number appears in the display. Once you have selected a zone number, the display will show a compass direction within a few seconds.

The compass display is equipped with automatic correction function. If the correct direction is not shown, follow this procedure.

- Calibrate the compass by driving the vehicle in three complete circles at a maximum speed of 5 MPH (8 km/h).
- After completing the circles, the display should return to normal.
CAUTION
