You can also calibrate the compass by driving your vehicle on your everyday route. The compass will be calibrated once it has tracked three complete circles.

Zone variation change procedure

The difference between magnetic north and geographical north is known as variance. In some areas, this difference can sometimes be great enough to cause false compass readings. Follow these instructions to set the variance for your particular location if this happens:

1. Press and hold the button for about 11 seconds or the button for about 8 seconds. The current zone number will appear in the display. Release the button.
2. Find your current location on the zone map.

Refer to the illustration.
3. Press the or the button repeatedly to toggle through the zone numbers until the desired number appears in the display.

Once you have selected a zone number, the display will show a compass direction within a few seconds.

Inaccurate compass direction:

1. With the display turned on, press and hold the button for about 13 seconds or the for about 10 seconds. The “C” icon in the compass display will illuminate.
2. Calibrate the compass by driving the vehicle in three complete circles at a maximum speed of 5 MPH (8 km/h).
3. After completing the circles, the display should return to normal.

CAUTION

● Do not install a ski rack, antenna, etc., which are attached to the vehicle by means of a magnet. They affect the operation of the compass.
● When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror as it may cause the liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing.
