- Locate your current geographic location on the World Magnetic Variation Map.
- Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
- Press and hold the on/off switch for the compass until a zone number appears on the compass display.
- Depress the switch for the compass to select the desired zone number.
- Wait 5 seconds. The display will return to a compass heading. The variance procedure is now complete.
- Calibrate the compass. Refer to COMPASS CALIBRATION mentioned above.
