Compass Variance
The mirror is set to zone eight upon leaving the factory.
It will be necessary to adjust the compass to
compensate for compass variance if the vehicle is
driven outside zone eight. Under certain circumstances,
such as a long distance, cross-country trip, it will be
necessary to adjust the compass variance.
Compass variance is the difference between earth’s
magnetic north and true geographic north. If the mirror
is not adjusted to account for zone changes, the
compass could give false readings.
To adjust for zone changes:
1. Find your current location and variance zone
number on the zone map that follows.
2. Press and hold the “auto highbeam” button about
six seconds until a zone number appears in the
display.
3. Once the zone number appears in the display,
press the “auto highbeam” button quickly until
you reach the correct zone number. Stop pressing
the button and the mirror will return to normal
operation. If C appears in the compass window, the
compass needs calibration. See “Compass
Calibration” listed previously.
