Automatic Compass Calibration
When the vehicle is new, the compass may
appear erratic and the EVIC will display "CAL"
until the compass is calibrated. You may 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 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, under-
ground cables, railroad tracks, etc.
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 heading.
NOTE:
Magnetic and battery powered devices,
(such as cell phones, iPod's, radar detec-
tors, PDA's and laptops) should be kept
away from the top of the instrument panel.
This is where the compass module is lo-
cated and such devices may interfere and
cause false compass readings.
