Compass variation is the difference between magnetic north and geographic north. In some areas of the country the difference is great enough to cause the compass to give a false reading. If this occurs, the compass variance must be set. View the variance zone map to determine the correct zone. The zones are numbered 1 through 15. While the DIC is in the COMPASS ZONE item, the DIC will display the current compass zone. Depressing the Set/Reset button will scroll through the available compass zones. Depressing the Set/Reset button for a few seconds will select the displayed compass zone. You cannot reset the Compass mode. This mode is retained during ignition OFF.
