2. Find the vehicle’s current
location and variance zone
number on the map.
Zones 1 through 15 are
available.
3. Press and hold the set/reset
button to scroll through and
select the appropriate
variance zone.
4. Press the trip/fuel button until the
vehicle heading, for example,
N for North, is displayed in
the DIC.
5. If calibration is necessary,
calibrate the compass. See
“Compass Calibration Procedure”
following.
Compass Calibration
The compass can be manually
calibrated. Only calibrate the
compass in a magnetically clean
and safe location, such as an open
parking lot, where driving the
vehicle in circles is not a danger. It
is suggested to calibrate away
from tall buildings, utility wires,
manhole covers, or other industrial
structures, if possible.
If CAL should ever appear in the
DIC display, the compass should be
calibrated.
If the DIC display does not show a
heading, for example, N for
North, or the heading does not
change after making turns, there
may be a strong magnetic field
interfering with the compass. Such
interference may be caused by
a magnetic CB or cell phone
antenna mount, a magnetic
emergency light, magnetic note pad
holder, or any other magnetic
item. Turn off the vehicle, move the
magnetic item, then turn on the
vehicle and calibrate the compass.
To calibrate the compass, use
the following procedure:
Compass Calibration Procedure
1. Before calibrating the compass,
make sure the compass is set
to the variance zone in which the
vehicle is located. See
“Compass Variance (Zone)
Procedure” earlier in this section.
Do not operate any switches
such as window, sunroof, climate
controls, seats, etc. during the
calibration procedure.
2. Press the vehicle information
button until PRESS
