metallic objects) until the “CAL” message displayed in

the EVIC turns off. The compass will now function

normally.
NOTE:

A good calibration requires a level surface and

an environment free from large metallic objects such as

buildings, bridges, underground cables, railroad tracks,

etc.
Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic and the “CAL” indicator

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

compass into the Calibration Mode manually as follows:
1. Start the engine. Leave the shift lever in PARK in order

to enter the EVIC Programming Menus.

2. Push the MENU button until Personal Settings

(Customer-Programmable Features) displays in the

EVIC.

3. Push the DOWN button until “Calibrate Compass”

displays in the EVIC.

4. Push and release the SELECT button to start the

calibration. The “CAL” indicator will display in the

EVIC.

5. Complete one or more 360–degree turns (in an area

free from large metal or metallic objects) until the

“CAL” indicator 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 differ-

ences and provide the most accurate compass heading.
