Verify proper calibration by checking North (N), South (S), East (E), and West (W). If the compass does not appear accurate, repeat the calibration procedure in another area. Compass Variance (VAR) Variance is the difference between magnetic North and geographic North. For proper compass function, the correct variance zone must be set. Setting the Compass Variance Refer to the variance map for the correct compass variance zone. To check the variance zone, the ignition must be ON. Press and hold the left button (located on the instrument cluster) for approximately 10 seconds to enter the variance mode and release the button when the VAR symbol appears.

When the correct zone is displayed (per the Compass Variance Zone Map) for the zone that the vehicle is located in, wait for about five seconds, then the trip computer will store the variance value in memory and the compass will resume normal operation.
