graphical 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. Establish your location on the zone map.
Refer to the illustration. Record your zone
number.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Push the MODEbutton in for 5 secondsuntil
the current zone entry number and the
“VAR” icon is displayed.
4. Press the MODE button repeatedly until the
desired zone entry number is displayed.
Once the desired zone number is displayed, stop
pressing the MODE button and the display will
show compass direction within a few seconds.
NOTE:
Use zone number 5 for Hawaii.
