Setting the Variance
The display will show all the display segments for half a
second
to
acknowledge the change in zone number.
Turn the ignition on and cycle the DIC to the
Compass/Temperature mode. Press both the E M and
MODE buttons for approximately five seconds. The last
entered variance zone number will be displayed. Press the
E M
button until the proper variance number, as shown on
the map, is showing. Press the MODE button to set the
new variance zone and resume normal operation.
Automatic Compass Calibration
The compass is self-calibrating which eliminates the
need to manually set the compass. When the vehicle is
new, the calibration process may not be complete. In
these cases the calibration symbol, C , will be displayed
where the compass reading is normally displayed.
To calibrate the compass, in an area free from large metal
objects, make three 360" turns. The calibration symbol
will turn off and the compass reading will be displayed.
Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic and the calibration
symbol does not appear, you must manually put the
compass into the calibration mode.
Turn the ignition on and cycle the DIC to the
Compassflemperature mode. Press both the E/M and
MODE buttons for at least 10 seconds until the
calibration symbol appears. Release both buttons and
complete three 360" turns in an area free from large
metal objects. The calibration symbol will turn off and
the compass reading will be displayed.
