Compass Zone
Under certain circumstances, such as during a long
distance cross-country trip, it will be necessary to
compensate for compass variance and reset the zone
through the DIC.
Compass variance is the difference between the earth’s
magnetic north and true geographic north. If not
adjusted to account for compass variance, the compass
in the vehicle could give false readings.
In order to do this, the compass must be set or
calibrated to the variance zone in which the vehicle
is travelling.
To adjust for compass variance, use the following
procedure:
Compass Variance Procedure
1. Press the option button until COMPASS ZONE
displays.
2. Find the vehicle’s current location and variance
zone number on the map.
Zones 1 through 15 are available.
