Compass Variance

Compass Variance is the difference between Magnetic
North and Geographic North. To compensate for the
differences, the variance should be set for the zone where
the vehicle is driven, per the zone map. Once properly set,
the compass will automatically compensate for the differ-
ences and provide the most accurate compass heading.

NOTE:

Magnetic and battery powered devices, (such as

cell phones, iPod’s, radar detectors, PDA’s and laptops)
should be kept away from the top of the instrument
panel. This is where the compass module is located and
such devices may interfere and cause false compass
readings.

To Change Compass Variance:

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Leave the

shift lever in PARK.

2. Press and release the MENU button until “Personal

Settings” displays in the EVIC.
