3. To select the appropriate variance zone, turn the
reset stem clockwise or counterclockwise and then
release to advance to the next available zone.
Repeat as needed.
If the zone does not change while turning the reset
stem, try turning it in the opposite direction.
4. Once the appropriate variance zone is selected,
press the reset stem. A flashing C will display.
5. Calibrate the compass. See “Compass Calibration
Procedure” following.
Compass Calibration
The compass can be manually calibrated. Only calibrate
the compass in a magnetically clean and safe location,
such as an open parking lot, where driving the vehicle in
circles is not a danger. It is suggested to calibrate
away from tall buildings, utility wires, manhole covers, or
other industrial structures, if possible.
If C should ever appear in the DIC display, the compass
should be calibrated.
If the DIC display does not show a heading, for example,
N for North, or the heading does not change after
making turns, there may be a strong magnetic field
interfering with the compass. Such interference may be
caused by a magnetic CB or cell phone antenna
mount, a magnetic emergency light, magnetic note pad
holder, or any other magnetic item. Turn off the vehicle,
move the magnetic item, then turn on the vehicle
and calibrate the compass.
To calibrate the compass, use the following procedure:
Compass Calibration Procedure
1. Before calibrating the compass, make sure the
compass is set to the variance zone in which
the vehicle is located. See “Compass Variance
(Zone) Procedure” earlier in this section.
Do not operate any switches such as window,
sunroof, climate controls, seats, etc. during
the calibration procedure.
2. Press the reset stem until the C starts flashing.
3. Drive the vehicle in tight circles at less than 5 mph
(8 km/h) to complete the calibration.
When the calibration is complete, the vehicle
heading, for example, N for North, displays instead
of the C.
