Compass Variance

The mirror is set in zone eight upon leaving the
factory. It will be necessary to adjust the compass to
compensate for compass variance if you live outside
zone eight. Under certain circumstances, as during
a long distance cross-country trip, it will be necessary
to adjust for compass variance. Compass variance is
the difference between earth’s magnetic north and
true geographic north. If not adjusted to account
for compass variance, your compass could give
false readings.

To adjust for compass variance:

1. Find your current location and variance zone

number on the following zone map.

2. Press and hold the COMP button for five seconds

until a zone number appears in the display.

3. Press the COMP button on the bottom of the mirror

until the new zone number appears in the display.
After you stop pressing the button, the display
will show a compass direction within a few seconds.
