also calibrate the compass by completing one or more 360

degree turns (in an area free from large metal or metallic

objects) until the “CAL” message displayed in the EVIC

Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic and the “CAL” message

does not appear in the EVIC display, you must put the

compass into the Calibration Mode manually as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
2. Press and release the MENU button until Personal

Settings displays in the EVIC.

3. Press the UP or DOWN button until “CALIBRATE

COMPASS” displays in the EVIC.

4. Press and release the SELECT button to start the

calibration. The message “CAL” will display in the

EVIC.

5. Slowly complete one or more 360-degree turns (in an

area free from large metal or metallic objects) until the

“CAL” message turns off. The compass will now

function normally.

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

differences and provide the most accurate compass head-

ing.
NOTE:

Keep magnetic materials away from the top of the

instrument panel, such as iPod’s, Mobile Phones, Lap-

tops and Radar Detectors. This is where the compass

module is located, and it can cause interference with the

compass sensor, and it may give false readings.
