In vehicles not equipped with the optional Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), there are two methods for checking and adjusting the variance zone setting. The variance zone can be displayed by depressing the odometer/trip odometer push button (22) located on the instrument cluster face just below and to the right of the odometer; or, by using the RESET push button (3) in the EVIC switch pod (also known as the odometer switch pod) located in the left horizontal spoke of the steering wheel. Once the current zone is displayed, it can be adjusted using either the odometer/trip odometer push button on the instrument cluster, or by using the STEP push button (4) in the EVIC switch pod.

To view or adjust the compass variance zone setting:

1. Using the Variance Settings Map, find your geographic location and note the zone number.
2. Start the engine but leave the manual transmission in the Neutral (N  ) position or the automatic transmission in the Park (P  ) position.
3. Depress and hold the odometer/trip odometer push button or the RESET  push button for approximately 10 seconds, until the current variance (VAR  ) zone number is displayed. Then release the push button.
   NOTE:

   The default variance zone number setting is 8. During programming, the variance zone number will wrap around, from zone 15 back to zone 1.

4. To change the zone, press and release the odometer/trip odometer push button or the STEP  push button to increase the variance zone number upward incrementally. Repeat pressing and releasing the appropriate push button as necessary, until the desired variance zone number is reached.
5. After about 10 seconds, the new variance zone number is stored in memory and the compass will resume normal operation.
6. Confirm that the correct directions are now indicated by the compass.
